Hey the edit button is on the left and delete account (this is permanent) button is on the right. Your typing information, and you are tired and you by mistake click, and its bye bye account. It's a easy mistake to do.

Great pictures!
I must have been like 20 feet away from you when you took the picture of the "trains" coming in on that flatbed. I was right there walking to my car when they came by. They looked pretty big and un-millennium/dragster like as you all can see.

Do yourself a favour, and stop trying. It's not worth it.
Walt will tell us everything on Thursday; we will all be the first people to know.
Only a few more days...

They looked "un-millennium/dragster like" because they weren't trains at all. It was wood.

Tim, I saw the same truck uncovered as it came back the other way, it was a shipment of wood, similar to what we saw in the Soak City lot in October of last year.

Ride on, MrScott!
Looking at the pics of the truck, I also think it's something other than coaster trains...they look too large. My first thought was that they were boats for the boat show (seem "boat" shaped), but now I agree with the wood observation. And where were they moving them anyway...they're going away from the project area.
There was some wood piles I saw by the Gemni qeuue line this year wonder if that wood is from there.

I couldn't find a better thread to post this in and it's not really worthy of its own...
On the webcam it looks like they're building either the pull-out of the first drop or the zero-g roll over the drop. Whatever it is, it's right over the (assumed) midcourse launch.
EDIT: Please don't kill me for the webcam play-by-play... some people like the updates, some don't... just like any other topic on the forum.

It looks like they're building the supports for the lift hill to me. But I guess you could be right....
Take care and God bless!
Wow, I was just about to post that.
And yeah, it looks like a pretty large structure.
I wonder if they put any track up today, or if they were just working on the supports.
Looks more like the supports for the pond turn around, coming back towards the S curves. They'd be the first supports that arent connected to the footers on the water. Thus, they aren't going to drain the pond until after the 29th.
EDIT: upon further inspection I really can't tell if from the angle given!
