Update: October 14

omg enough with the damn football posts. geesh.

Hey, just because the island you're on is only size of a football field is no reason to get upset.

^^^ - If they don't feel dumb yet, losing to the best isn't going to affect them.

Ha :) We'll see - We'll see.

BTW, If anyone has tickets, let me know - seriously :)

Jugga,

I think you've over-estimated the mental state of the Buckeye Nation. Logic doesn't always prevail ;)

there ya damn cityslickers

Looks like they just haven't put the bolts in yet. I'm sure they'll get to it before May.

Yeah, I think they were having some problems with those 4 supports... I seem to remember Jason posting some webcam grabs of them moving those corner joints around.

That is the same piece. It's directly behind Frontier Inn. Dougs pic iseems to have been taken from the train which is why it's angled the opposite way. Mine was taken from the Frontier Inn Patio.

They will probably just make a custom shim to fit the gap and bolt it together.

It looks like they've done a custom shim before. It's on Millennium Force on the turn between the small bunny hill and final overbank turn. Someone pointed it out to me this summer. If I take or find a pic I'll send a link.

Well, I'm glad I'll be at the park this weekend. By the time I get back it will have been 3 weeks since my last visit. I'm going through withdrawls. ;)

On top of that, there won't be much of anything to watch on the web cams until they start the tunnel and canyons and such.

Hey, try going a couple of months and then complain!

yeah last year I had that problem too. I still have finacial problems, but thats ok, becuase after this trip I go on, on Saturday, it will be my 10th time this year. Work though is coming along really nicely on Maverick. I'm anxious to see what the vertical construction will look like on the station once they start more on that. Maybe after the park closes they'll tilt the camera towards the left a little more so we can see the station.

I too would like to see some station construction.

I third that - especially since Doug, Walt and others' weekly updates won't be able to continue much longer.

Valid point. Bring on the station!

What do we want? Station! When do we want it? By May!

Sorry but I have been grounded for a while, is all of the track complete?

It's not complete yet, but very close. I'm guessing track will be completed this week. :)

i know this is off the topic kinda, but i was just wonderin....where do yall think they will build their next coaster at without taking another ride out??(if thats possible)

Ohh no, this is the first of those type of posts we've had in a while. BigDrops, delete it while you can!
