I dont know... I guess it depends on if that camera is wireless broadcast and can be moved....

I noticed something interesting a little bit ago..

There must have been an issue with 2 of the pieces.. Snapped a photo of track pieces 6 & 8 heading NORTH on I-77 on a flatbed.. I'll upload the picture later if you'ns care to see it..

It could also be that they were damaged during transport and are being taken to be fixed...

could the "unknown" pieces of track at the B&M plant, as reported by screamscape, be heading to carowinds?


Yes along with more supports. Somebody on thrill network reported seeing them on on I-77 southbound a few days ago heading towards Carowinds. I would imagine so but nobody including me can be certain.

I would be really, REALLY surprised if they were track pieces and supports for Carowinds. I would think most of the pieces would've been painted by now. I mean, it takes a while to get all of the coats of paint on one piece of track or supports, let alone an entire coaster worth. If there are still many pieces to be painted, then don't expect to much more progress to be made in the next couple weeks.

You are talking like it takes a month to paint a piece of track. I doubt it takes more than, say, a week or 2...

Normally once a Web cam is in place it stays there. If they are putting together any kind of time lapse construction video, moving the camera would screw it up. It would be cool if they would put up another camera close to the back gate and watch the coster build toward it.

Most likely another camera would be put in place like how Diamondback started with one camera on the Swan Lake site then set up two more to focus in on the back area of the ride and the ride entrance. Most likely they would rotate the camera views.

A time laspse would be pretty cool. good call coaster bruh.
