Each of those stakes with the pink ribbon is where a (supposed) footer will be. They actually extend much farther to the right of where your picture shows. They haven't even begun to touch that area yet.

lol wow I wasted my time ^ there :roll:

SO I REALLY HOPE it goes under the bridge like after burn does. I also hope its UNIQUE so its not compared to another coaster. I hate when they build the same coaster in multiple parks. Not saying this hyper will be the same but I dont even want it to be alike another.

First, Top gun doesnt go under a bridge...it "takes the tunnel"...

Second, name one...I mean ONE coaster that isnt compared to another coaster...

Third, how can this hyper be any different than any other?

Forth...

1st.
Last time I checked a Bridge was something that you walked/drove to cross over something.
Bridge-a structure carrying a pathway or roadway over a depression or obstacle.
I dont care call it what you want.

2nd.
Expedition Everest.

3rd.
I mean I'm not the designer. I just would like it to be different such as Diamond Back has the spashdown. Goliath goes into a underground tunnel. I donno something that just gives it a awesome ride element something none of us have thought of.

4th
I really hope B&M design it. Carowinds needs a ride that is longer than 2 minutes lol. I know there longer but they seem soooo short. I want a ride thats fun. Not something that just launches us to a top of a hill then back down again with a hump. But then again its not all about me :lol: and at this point im just glad they are getting something new! :)

Expedition Everest is often compared to the 1959 Matterhorn Bobsleds roller coaster at Disneyland, which also features a snowy mountain setting and an "abominable snowman" figure throughout the ride.

Yup. Now, I'm very thankful for the people contributing their time to make the pictures with the station, brake run, transfer track etc. But, there are several places with markings for footers they are leaving out. This thing can't be graphed quite yet. We have a good start, but we should wait until more holes have been dug because there are footers we are leaving out. I think there is much more of a layout to this coaster and I also believe we will get a splashdown...

P.S. Wow, you guys stay up late.
