Interesting they skipped the next piece and added the one that connects to the footer that they were working on.

A whole lot of consulting going on for these pieces... I think they will be here for quite awhile. Make it work guys!

After they've completed connecting this 3rd pc of track (which bridges both sides of the track connecting to the problem footer), and probably after lunch, they should be booking... all the special maintenance trucks have left the area.

We have reached the PortaJohn! We can now all be relieved!

Hoping for some great airtime on those three hills near the end. That part is one of the things that could put this ride a notch above Leviathan since it comes to a rather abrupt end.

Me too Jonathan! This could rival SFoG's Goliath for best Beemer ending. What I'm really excited about is the turn around at 91*. I loved the overbanked turnaround on Goliath (SFGam) and how you drop off of that at a 90* angle, I got lots of airtime, so I'm hoping for the same effect there.
