Call me crazy, but I would rather have 3 consecutive days off in a row: Wed., Thurs., and Friday off. I don't understand construction workers. :lol: Perhaps yesterday was a makeup day for Wed.?

Today's view looking North. I expected Fury to look bigger relative to the rest of the skyline. Sorry for the terrible cell phone camera quality.

Wincing at that, I have much better software now lol. Thanks, but dunno yet. With all the canned effects out there these days every video looks cheesy, so if I can’t do something unique with it I won’t do anything at all. Or I’ll be sick of it at that point. If anyone else wants to try, be my guest. :)

You mean you are going to pass up an opportunity to use Flight of the Bumblebee in your new production?

If you gave me all of your photos and/or videos I would be happy to put together a video if you don't have the time. I don't wanna brag or anything, but I know how to put together a pretty awesome video. :roll:

Thanks for the pics Wormy. Is it just me or is Fury not as tall as it appeared on the webcam? It my have just been the angle of the pics but I imaged it would be a bit taller in that skyline.

Wow, Im surprised to see them working today! Bravo to them for putting up with a really weird week of work! :D It seems as if they are already about to install that diagonal support. :thumbup:

After this support is completed:
---five more drop sections of track
---then they can add the last straight lift section,
---then they can assemble the final two top curved sections on the ground and lift them as one and top it off.

Is Fury now taller than Intimidator? Or still a ways to go?

What, I would not have even looked at the cam today if it had not been for you. It's seems to me they will now have to finish the support, use one crane to hold it and put the next track section(s) in to brace it all in the same day. I can't imagine supporting the completed support over night. But we shall see. Then again perhaps this explains why they are working today instead of yesterday, because they did not want to hold that massive thing up for a day, (Sunday).
