I just now contacted Brandon of All-American Thrills and he said that the contact person who does the updating for him here in Charlotte is on vacation. He expects the next update to be on the day of the topping off or close to that date.

My guestimation is when these 2 pieces are put in, Fury will be about ~260ft tall


Are those guide wires with flags on them? Not sure what to make of them.

Yeah those are temporary support cables. You can see them use them during the same phase of construction of Leviathan. Once they get the lift track up and installed, they can remove them.
