Going up up and inplace!

It's hard to tell exactly from both cams, I know earlier I saw people moving around doing supports, I don't know if they still are or not. Right now it just looks like they're adding more track.

It look like more track to me also

More track is being added, but it looks like new footers are being poured too based on having had a cement truck onsite. It was there before and seemed to be in one place for a while, so that leaves me to assume more footers are being poured.

Also people are saying there are 2 cams??

Where's the other?

The other camera I was referring to is FunCoast. What I meant to say was it's hard to tell from that camera what track is being added where.

Thats Good! I think the part over the old swan boat pond will look much different though.

Call me crazy but I think that this could be a drifting coaster will all those turns.

Your crazy!

(Well you asked)

Yeah, I asked.

But seriously, it would explain why this coaster has a turn after turn after turn. It would be quite boring on a regular roller coaster. It would be too repetative. But a drift coaster would require many turns so the train can drift. And that would explain the sidewidin theory.

Need I say it again? ;)

IMO I doubt it, Intamin doesnt make a drifting coaster....gerstlauer does and I am pretty sure they wouldnt be too happy about someone stealing theyre patent.

But like i said, IMO

Gerstlauer???

I don't think they make a drift coaster. No one so far has made a drift coaster.

Iknow its still a work in progress, I know the swan pond will look MUCH different than my rough sketch

Looking at the webcams, does anyone have an idea as to what the blue thing is near the center?

Which webcam, I see nothing blue in the center.

I saw it...i dnt know what it was....

A lift that the workers go in. That's the only blue thing I see

thats probably it...cant see much detail in the webcam they have up there....

Whats a drifting coaster?

A drifting coaster is a coaster with a car designed to pivot at the center to allow for free spinning, but very little, probably about 20-30 degrees from each side. And change in direction is the best way to allow for the car to drift. It is a concept and none have been built.

If there is one, or a company other than Intamin has a patent on it, please let me know. j2k95, I just checked Gerstlauer's website and they had nothing about it, maybe we are thinking of something completely different.
