Unless CF asked the Ohio plant to "hide" the track. But even that wouldn't make sense, since the track needs to rust outside. Unless they have some sort of way to rust the track inside the building. A coaster of this magnitude should be a surprise and CF may not want people to see the track at the plant. I don't really know. But what if they are going to construct all of the pieces at once, and then take it all outside at the same time to rust then bring all of the sections back inside at the same time and be painted. But I don't know for sure. That's a 9 hour drive for me, so I won't be going to the plant anytime soon.

sorry for the double post.
but when were these pictures taken? There was already yellow track seen before, and this looks like it. If it is that same track, then we already know where it is going.

According to the date on that post it was back in February. I don't know where its going, not to say that it hasn't already been figured out. My point is, it may or may not have been seen yet. I would have to assume there is another plant other than the one in Ohio that is producing track but I have no idea. There is no proof of where any track goes really until it starts arriving where its going... unless you know how to crack those codes. I thought the track at the plant a few years back that was green was going to CP and it went to China, so who knows... You guys may have more knowledge about all of that, I dont really keep up with where the track goes. I will be excited when track starts arriving in the park and everything though.

Now what I really want to know is how can I get hooked up with some passes for the media announcement? I really want to go and being that i work about 15min away, I could definately do it :D

Yes I have TPS and I am not thrilled with it as of yet. I cant figure it out, but then again I cant figure NL2 out either :lol: I cant sit and do it for hrs though I have to much other stuff to do.

Jonathan, I just saw the new feature that you posted. That is hilarious they showed the leaked photos :lol: Guess they can be posted all over facebook and everywhere now :thumbup:

Wow. I love it. You put more time into yours, I only had one night. your recreation and mine are very similar. We used the same plans of course, but even the hills are nearly the same. However, your version has tighter curves in a way. The only difference I see between the two (other than the name and theme), is the ending. You have tight turns going into a brake run (fantastic by the way), and I have a last hill curving down into a splash down then up another bunny hill and down the brake run. So, I think we are getting closer to what our Giga may look like.
Since we both have kind of the same concepts :D Amazing. Well, everyone, what do you think.
Two people who don't know each other, use the same 2D plans and create something that is very similar to the others' concept. Makes me wonder if THIS is what the final product will look like.

Oh I'm so excited!!!


Do either of you have your designs available for download anywhere like nolimits-exchange or anything? I would love to download and ride :D

Unfortunately, I had to use the NoLimits 2 Demo, and it wouldn't let me save my model. It was my first ever model too. I stayed up all night from start to finish because it wouldn't let me save it. That's why I rushed it. Now I'm sure that rc will be able to make his model available for download. :D

Ah ok. Gotcha. I bought it the day it released since I had been waiting several years, I had NL1 the day it was released as well. You did excellent as I can barely make the thing in the tutorial. I think its because I am so used to NL1 which I wasnt very good at and never really tried because I was waiting on 2. Oh well. I hope he has it available!

There was a giant hole, most likely where the station will sit, behind that backhoe I guess I didnt get a picture of it..... I got a bunch more pictures I will have to check and see what I got..

So I went to the park today had a great time and snapped some pics. As chknwing confirmed they're doing some good digging and reinforced wires are in bundles everywhere. Yup it's definitely getting real.
