Erection of Skyhawk

Topping is postponed till tomorrow.:(

Here's a time lapse for today.

It's not as interesting today, so the video size is smaller to save bandwidth.

Still fun to watch. Thanks for taking the time to do this Walt.

Walt your totally awesome for doing that for us, your a real great person,hopefully tomorrow they will have the top on :-)

I bet Skyhawk is really cold without it's top on ;-) sorry I had to add that.

Hey Walt, any idea why I can't seem to get any of the videos on the site to work? I've tried all of the maXair ones, the Skyhawk time lapses, and a few others, and no success. Everytime it gives me a proxy error.

But yeah, I hope it does get topped off tommorow, even though I won't be able to watch it. I'll be skiing and tobbaganing. :)

Thanks walt! that's really cool and you are a nice guy!

Walt tries his hardest to be nice, although for people like me once in a while, we end up getting in trouble once in a while. Since it appears they ran out of time for the Topping off, does this mean we'll be able to see a new page on Pointbuzz tomorrow? I think everyone is tired of seeing White Water Landings Destruction.

Yeah, its bolts are sticking straight out.

Another great timelapse Walt. As a technical question, what are you using to assemble the images into the movie file?

It's a shareware program. Name escapes me right now, Movie-something.

Not trying to offend anybody (~Walt~) but, I think those time-lapses were created for his enjoyment as much as ours. But, putting them up for our enjoyment is very cool too.

The Point Online added some closeup shots of Skyhawk and some of the WWL site.

I'm wondering if Walt has something on the way as well. His pictures are always great looking.

It looks like its getting topped off right now. I'm not glued to the webcam, but did happen to check it out just now.... ;) Thanks for the time lapse Walt, very cool.

Just checked, and yeah, it's topped off. Coolio.

Hmm...is anyone else looking at that thing (especially from the angle in the latest picture on the OnPoint! blog), and saying to yourself, "Gee...I really don't think that thing fits into the Frontier Town theme at all?"

While it looks amazing, it is more conspicuous that I first thought it might be.

I sincerely hope this is not the beginning of the end for Frontier Town.

I don't believe that it is. That part of the park needed to draw more trafific and the shops need that to survive. Skyhawk will fit in just fine, I think.

I think right now, with no trees in the area, and everything looking baren. It does stand out a lot, but I hope that once CP's landscapers get in and everything springs out more, I think it will look pretty good.

UGH!
Anyone else notice that they removed all the trees by WWL between the tracks and Perimeter road! :(

In today's Onpoint blog, one of the questions was when were the swinging arms going on. They say they may be going on next week.

It will be nice to see it finished by January. I wonder if they will do a winter grand opening with the Rockets for our Screamin' Swing??
