Yeah, i'm psyched... But i do think the trains will be something quite special... i was looking at those corkscrew/zero G inversions (i'm not sure if y'all have determined what the inversions are) but if you moved the heartline just slightly higher above the track than a normal sit down coaster, it would be a perfect zero g roll... just my 2 cents

A couple of friends explained this to me and I tend to agree... Based on the point in which the trains start to bank shows that these would be corkscrews. The trains start banking at the base of a corkscrew, but the trains don't start to twist until much higher up on a zero-g.

Look at the transitions between the big helixes. The heartline seems to be the same height as MF, TTD etc. Or even lower, it's hard to say.

Things are really shaping up now, looks like it will be huge. There are more footers outside that last turn into the row of supports. Plus more going over the big helixes not to mention the ones in the pond. ;)

So you cant copy and paste your posts from word?????

Looking at the pics a 5500-6500 foot ride seems like a good guess.

I don't know about you guys, but I would love to see an aerial photo update!

I would actually rather wait until all of the track has been installed.

I second that on the Aerial Photo update. That's the best way to see the whole thing at once. I'd like to wait to get more (or all of the) track, but I don't know if I can hold out that long! Of course, by the looks of it, it is going up pretty quickly. Still, I'd like to see some current aerial photos.

You can only copy and paste from Notepad.

I just would like to see an aerial to get a better feel for the overall scope of where the entire layout stands and maybe see the current layout of unused footers, etc...

You can copy & paste your posts from Word, into Notepad and then here, if you'd rather write in Word.

I love that all the dots are being connected now!

I love how they haven't even finished pouring footers yet. :)

Lookin' good...

Project 2007 is really starting to shape up quickly. Now that we know that it appears as though there will be for sure a 'double-decked' portion of the track, where will the lower track go? It seems as though footers continue, but eventually dissapear.

The track flattens out, goes through a set of LIM's while on a slight incline, banks to the left and goes over the pond. You will see in a few days.

you love how they havent even finishd pouring the footers but yet you still think that its not going to be that big. lol

OK this pic looks like a lower piece of track is going under something higher.

I wonder if this part will feature a quad-roll element like colossus.

do any of the new pictures show where the new footers are?

Possibly...but not right there. Think more over by the first corkscrew. That area will be the rides second launch. ;)

J2k

You seem to know everything. Are you an insider? I guess we'll see for sure in a few days :)

Not an insider but I think after seeing some things recently that I have the ride pretty much figured out...;)
