You can tell that there was no chain on the lift from those pics?

The electrical is definitly not done, and it won't be for at least into March. The chain is probably one of the last things they will do after erecting all the steel.

The one question I do have not sure if anyone knows but how will they add the chain to the hill? Will they just send it through really slow?

I'm guessing they run a feeder line attached to the chain, loop it around and connect it.

I have a question. What happened today at the Gatekeeper project? Did they add any more track? I was at work all day.

They added a couple more track pieces. It's one piece away from the lowest point before the turn around.

Actually, I think they added the bottom out piece/lowest point.

I'm pretty sure they did. It was easy to tell considering where the hoist slings were when they were installing the last piece of the day.

Yep you were right, they did get that one last piece done after I closed out of the webcam.

Question for anyone on here. After they finish the fly by part that they're working on now, will they start working on the roof for the Entrance for guests or will that take place come March?

It will take place in march when track is complete. Look at the info I posted in vertical construction if you had any other questions. I get all construction info.

By the main entrance, there is this yellow structural thing up front. Does anyone know what that is? For reference, it's the second webcam, the one that's mounted in the parking lot somewhere.

They had a crane up front and I believe it was a yellow color. It was taking down the concrete form panels on the west tower. Might that have been what you saw?

Yes it was. It looked like a ladder from a distance for some reason.

I'm glad someone had the answer, I read your post once the webcam was almost dark and couldn't make it out and it was bugging me.
