Did I not get the memo and missing something but isnt there suppose to be a middle support on the turn around that isnt constructed yet?

It looks like the middle support is partially constructed in a few of the pics. It seems like the turn around is taking a long time (even with all the rain) compared to how they were moving fast before.

As of my 3pm drive-by 11-13-09, the middle support is done. Pics below.

wormy, do you have those pictures in full resolution? I would like the first picture you just posted in 1920x1080. If its bigger than that i can Photoshop it and crop it down so the aspect ratio is correct.

Thanks for that...I thought they found a "new" way to lessen supports

There was an issue with a footer requiring additional concrete work. This section is where tolerences are nil. The rain didn't help either.

Those photos make it safe to say that B&M are amazing artists in addition to being (in my opinion) the best coaster engineers.

Do you guys think our Intimidator is going to give a better ride in the front or back seat? Every seat is going to be amazing, but I'm having a hard time deciding which to try first! Usually I have no problem figuring out which should be more enjoyable but Timmy looks like it is going to be great from every seat. Front seat visuals and airtime, middle seat "floaty" airtime and family friendly ride, Back seat intense airtime coming down each hill.

So hard to choose!

I haven't ever had the privilege of riding in one of the new style B&M hyper trains; do they succeed in providing an open feel to all of the riders without isolating the outsiders ala Deja Vu'?
