Third piece of lift track being staged...
Big Bird is now on the planks.

I think the lift hill is going to rock and roll tomorrow!!

I could see doing a summary of what all happen in the day...like the time lapse videos but geesh...go out and enjoy life and get out front of the cams... :wink:


Because I frequent the forum during school, on my phone, and because I'm afraid the Webcams will use a ton of my data, I actually appreciate the updates from everyone

Well I, and many others, dont! I leave the forums...come back and see like an entire page is added, im thinking...oh...thought prevoking convo awaits...then its just..."another support is up"..."a worker walked 3ft."I can see it from my house" "I can smell it from my bedroom". Maybe I have seen plenty of coasters constructed that im not as overly excited as many of you but geesh! :wtf: But dont mind me...go back to watching track move 2 ft and making a post about it... :thumbup:

Looks like there were 2 track sections together onto the first tall white support for the lift. It would stand to reason that two more pieces would be put together to lift onto the second white support. 2 more for the third. ... then to the top section which, if you saw the leviathan video, is nuts to put together. So, hopefully tomorrow we can see the second of the three white lift supports go in and those two track pieces lifted into place. That would make it about halfway to the top.

I kinda have to agree with coasterbruh. This is just construction and that's it. Do I keep the webcams open when I'm working on something? Yes I do, just out of curiosity. However, I will not post an update unless something big is happening. Also, I was on facebook and Carowinds posted a picture from inside the station if any of you care to go check it out.

If I remember correctly Skyflyer and the bus lot were not the same elevation, Google Maps say there is a 3'-16' in the area where the first drop is going.
