Update: October 1

Great pictures Walt and Doug. Thanks for the update. Anyways, I can't wait until 07 to cross the bridge from Frontier Trail and look at that turn around for the first time. Aaggggghhhh... Sorry, I just had a Homer Simpson moment.

Anyone think we might see it finished this week?:)

^ Its gonna be close. I say that it will be finished next week though

Yeah, they're moving really quickly.

I could be mistaken, but I bet they switched gears and moved to the track over by the station. They need to get the crane out of the center of the circuit so it can leave the site. I noticed on the cam that the crane isn't there anymore, so maybe that's what they're doing.

I can't wait to see more pics from this weekend. :)

The only way out for the crane is under the fist hill they built right?

Are they going to have to punch it through?

On the original webcam you cen see where they left off with the station track. It does not look like they have put any thing up there today. Unless they were only working on supports.

This one really excites me:

The large crane was in view on the original webcam this morning unloading track. Then it moved off camera to the left.

My guess is that they're putting up the remaining supports for the brake run into the station.

Also, where they left off at the base of the lift hill will most likely be transfer track, so that would be why there's not track there yet.

^^If they leave it like that it won't be very fun. ;)

^^ I looked at the funcoast cam and it doesnt appear that any supports have been erected. Though the crane is in the turn before the brakes section....but it's not moving.

I'm guessing the crane will leave the site on the part which is visible on the cam now. Then they'll put up the last pieces of track (at least on that side) from the train side of the ride.

Props to the horizon pics. Those are awesome.

Looking at todays webcam images, they unloaded about 9 or more pieces of track over 3 seperate deliveries throughout the day. 2 morning deliveries and one late afternoon delivery. Also, the backhoe was doing quite a bit over by the station area. Though it may not all be installed this week, based on what was left this past weekend, I think the Staging Area will be nearly empty by this weekend.

The pictures with the sun and water look good.
