That, and the fact that the ride has been announced now so there is no longer any speculation about how many inversions will be on White Lightning.

We got ourselves so worked up with the run up to the announcement that now this period is somewhat of a lull. The excitement will come back as the coaster goes vertical and we approach opening day.

You spelled it wrong, Wes. It's "invertions."

Yes, that was the point. Were you sleeping the day that happened?

Is there going to be a new thread opened when supports and track start going up?

Looks like there is a crane in the station area this morning. Maybe we will see our first support up today!

[billcollins531]

yeah there is a crane by the lift hill footer. Nobody is working out there right now, but there appears to be a black support sitting beside the crane? what do you guys think?

[carowindsman6654]

Small grey/gray supports are now on the log flume site. Workers are also now on site. You can see the supports next to the turn-around southwest of where the crane is.

Check out the webcam right now, they just pulled in the first piece of track.... I saved a shot...

Looks a track section just arrived on site, and it looks like they are attaching it to the crane!
