The 3 containers have been sitting in the car park for days. I don't believe any new track has arrived for 2-3 days.

It's nothing like this part of Flash.

Thank you for the photos @Glubbo How are you guys getting a zero G roll from the support?

I can't be sure because I don't know how the forces move & work as it goes downhill.

I have no idea what is going on either side but from what I see I have the train going from right to left. My thoughts are the A side of the support is always taking the direct force while the B side is to brace. If it was running downhill A & B would be swapped around or rotated 90deg. (My A is whatever side of the support has the largest diameter). C I have an ass clench moment just finished and D you can now catch your breath. (that is based on my direction of travel only). How many more metres of track have we got to go? If it is a loop this might be the location. My A & B theory shows larger support on the outside. I would almost put money on it that wrong because I don't know the what's going on around it.

I'm waiting on the airtime too.

I forgot to mention the cherry picker is getting involved now. From @AlexB photos yesterday. Is this the transfer track?

@Brad2912You missed the arrival of the big crane. I only got to see them setting up the big crane and had to leave for work. Maybe we should have had a coffee together. I should put that in perspective the big crane is really just the next size up crane. They have around 6 longer supports laying on the ground next to where the track was being placed yesterday. I wonder if they will install the longer supports before the track because they have way too much track ready to go for the few supports installed.

I haven't been up close so I don't know but what is messing with my head is if it is leading into the loop why do we have the plate that connects to a double spine track on the on the other side?

I think I'm misreading something here. Is the track #49 & #50 after or before the loop?

@AlexB Did you work what direction the tabs go on the track?

I don't know. I stole the photo. Sorry I misread what you said. The footings are labeled up to 193. Keep in mind 1 footing might have 3 supports coming off it.- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
By the looks of it the supports before the station are being installed today. 188 is the last support before the switch track- Movie World Hypercoaster - colour, theme and announcement speculation
Even thou we haven't come to a consonance with the coaster final theme I'm having trouble thinking what will MW do to an open station to theme it up besides what they did to GL. Any ideas?- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
Skeet’s non-essential update. A few more containers have turned up on site today. They are currently using this flatbed truck to move the supports they are installing from the compound to the coaster site. Until they close the road into MW “I think” they will only be installing what can fit on the back of the truck because the truck is using the main road to get between the compound and the coaster site. The temp fencing mob was around but I don’t know what they were up too.- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
If you go by the support numbers it's out of the turnaround. I think most people agree the turn around might be the same as Flash. I think the arrow is the location of the supports that went up today.- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
It's not too hard to work out which supports will go up next with these tie-down rods now missing their nuts. Next time somebody is at MW having a look to should be able to tell which way the train will run by the K labels written on the footings. K001 is the first support foundation in the middle of the station & 193 is the last label at the end of the track. The base plates are getting big.- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
I don't even have a camera but the fence will leave an impression on my face sometime today. Is this correct @Theme Park Girl ?- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
And still no announcement. MW management meeting. “Nothing to see here move along” MW can’t blame people if the start blurting what they know. I know I can only hold my breath for so long.- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
@JaggedJanine It wouldn't surprise me. I arrived back on the coast last night and did a drive through on my way home and noticed they had a few supports put together inside of the compound. I also noticed they are asphalting between the new concrete crossover and the rear of the car park.- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
Don't forget we have a rough total track count so I don't think piece 105 will be at the start.- DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
Thanks, I thought they were saying it was on the MW twisty track and I couldn't spot it. - DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
