Track going up!

[coasterfreak]

It's official guys! Fury is now above the horizon relative to the webcam!

^Depending on just how high on Skytower the webcam is mounted, that confirms the estimates of the 250'-260' range at this point. It's hard to believe that there is another 65'+ to go with only one more straight lift section and the crown.

So after tightening everything up here, it is back to the drop side...

According to Mike Fehnel it's 220 feet right now.

According to Mike Fehnel it's 220 feet right now.

no that support is 220 ft. and he posted that before the track was installed

[FamousAmos]

Even still, the end of the track is only about 15 feet or so taller than the support.

[goldsteh]

All I can say is wow! Still around another 100 feet to climb.

[kirkgun]

There aren't any more supports on the lift side. There's no way it can climb another hundred feet upwards without another support (and it would completely overshoot the drop). I am guessing he said it was 220 prior to that piece they put in today.

I would roughly estimate that it is 270-90 right now. So that puts it another 35-55 feet to the peak. Looking at all the animations/models. That's gotta be in the ball park.

I thought something didn't sound right.

doing a little bit of measuring/math, i'm figuring it currently at ~240ft.

Not sure that tower is 220' like they say. If so, Height of the footer plus thickness of the track piece would put it at about 230 at that point. Then the track extends maybe 15 to 20' beyond that. Somewhere around 250' would sound right to me (if the tower is 220'.)

Not knowing any height for the tower, I would guess closer to 285'. I can't see THAT much track left before the crown and it fit in the gap before the drop.

[FamousAmos]

All that remains is one more straight section, then the two curved pieces at the top.

And the crane operators take a bow, wish eveyone a happy Thanksgiving, and say, "See ya on Monday!"

From Mike's Twitter:

Assuming you are looking out at a flat horizon, you can judge a height equal to your own as it will meet that horizon. The Skytower is listed at 262' tall, so at absolute maximum the lift could be around 270' or so. But that assumes the camera is mounted at the very top of the Skytower (which is unlikely), and of course that the horizon is indeed flat (which it isn't exactly). But there is no way we are only looking at 220' considering all of the scale renderings that are available. I would say 250'-260' has to be close.

They just parked the cranes, so I do think we've seen the last of their work until next week.
