:) Ok I am new to this forum so I don't know who everybody is, but based on his post from 5 pages back and the progress that they have made so far, it seems that Jarsh has the inside info on the construction schedule. Hey Jarsh when can we expect the lift hill construction....lol.

How did you come to that conclusion? All I know of the construction schedule is what was told to everyone in attendance at the SCarolina Coaster Classic event.

And my comments about what order and how they are going to erect this thing are based off of 15 years of observations, not insider info.

Modified these a little bit to try to make the supports easier to see when they are installed.

Update for yesterday:
From what I can see, it looks like all 7 supports for the brake run have been installed. Link to gallery

You can update the wheeled train supports in the storage area (even though they aren't track pieces) as they've been installed.

^ are you referring to the colored track sections in the storage area?

Edit: Looks like they are actually painted white?

Yep. That would be the pieces I was referring to. And they aren't really track as much as they are wheeled support pieces for the trains. The middle of the trains sit on the wheels to take pressue off the wheels when the train isn't being used and to make for easier maintenance.

Well, there are a good bit of supports up. I bet that tomorrow we could expect some more track. :)
