I doubt it and here's why. The flatbed is in the wrong place and is facing the wrong direction for it to be loaded onto it. The first tall lift hill support is also in the way.

The track is being lifted up. Let's hope it goes where we want it to.

well thats settled. looking at all the stuff around the station, it looks like they are ready to rock n roll on that.

I can't tell what I am looking at. Is that the piece of track up in the air there or is that a crane?

[carowinds4ever]

looks to be just about in place. (have to add my play by play)

I wonder how many sections they will assemble and then lift, (trying to word it well enough to make sense) to get to the top.

The first lift piece is now up!

I hope someone on the ground can post some new pics for us.

that lift hill is huge. glad to see it in place and not on the ground anymore.

[chknwing]

thats just the beginning, they have to put up 3 more supports before you get to the top of the hill

I wonder will they take as long on the next section(s)? Hopefully they have crew somewhere in the back ground getting each section ready. They spent a week on this. I too Bro. wonder how many sections it will take to get to the top? I bet a KI fan knows.

heh looks like everyone went home for the day

You would be kinda corrcect. I think the lift hill took 9 pieces to complete it. I believe that includes the transition piece from horizontal to the lift hill. The last two pieces to be installed on Diamondback were L8 and L9. The main sections installed were 44 feet and 88 feet in length, weight 26,000 pounds and 52,000 pounds respectively. The lift hill was supposed to take 26 days to complete (October 3 to October 29), but the topping off was delayed due to to weather until October 30. That is just to give you a time frame, but of course they started on Intimidator's lift a week ago, so... It should be completed by October 16.
