I think they are going to wait until tomorrow to put that piece of track up. But that's what i think. It also looks like they are building more supports on the ground.

My bad. Well, guess my original guess was correct. (like two pages ago).
I still love that view though. I get a little nervous every time I look at it.
Only three more sections of track to go.

Some curved track has now arrived on scene. I believe someone said there were only 3 pieces of track left so will they be doing all of the rest tomorrow? It appears that they are not planning on installing any track today, then again I'm far from a construction expert.

I think its going to go like this(based of of Leviathans construction):

BB will lift the last straight piece into place
One of the Cliffords will lift the peak in place
BB will then disconnect leaving Clifford/CJ to support the 2 pieces.
BB will then put in the last piece.

In that case, it would be the 2nd Clifford (the one not supporting the 2 pieces). It may be a moot point since they look to be putting 2 pieces together in the air right now.
