The webcam shows bulldozers clearing and flattening the ground near the final inversion for the pouring of concrete for the line! I was wondering when they would do that, that's a lot of concrete to pour!
Seeing that bullbdozer and that backhoe really makes that final turn look HUGH!

Woo Hoo! It looks like they're playin with micro-machines!
I think I am losing it guys! I am getting excited just about standing on that cement!
Seems to me that Jeff and Dan are droping hints about something all over the place. ;)
After seeing all the heavy equipment i have to wonder...how high is that banked turn???? JEFF??
Well, according to the original press release, that final "little" turn is 68 feet high. That's one hell of a final turn. It's taller than the lift hills of: Disaster Transport, CC Mine Ride, Wildcat, and Woodstock. It's only 8 feet shorter than the lift on Iron Dragon, and 10 feet shorter than Blue Streak. That's a fantastic final turn!

Consider this: the Web cam is perched on top of Wildcat.

Seriously? That's cool.
It'd be interesting if mid-season they turned it on Wildcat itself. =)

They sure didn't take them long to flatten that land.
