NIL is nearing completion. Crane currently installing the last of the supports 

Thanks for the photo.

Someone correct me if im wrong but I thought there is 1 more segment on each of the supports that connect to the (for lack of a better word) twist at the top?

Just saw on the LiveStream from MW that the last piece of track is being bolted onto the NILoop as I type this! Exciting!

Is he giving her a flower?  My bad it's a strange microphone.

Some cool points from the live stream:

- They will be focusing on the lift hill now that the NI loop is finished  

- construction will be much more faster moving forward. 

- the car park will be filled with more tracks and pieces for further construction this week. 

- They will be live streaming the train arrival (which will arrive in the car park and assembled for everyone to see)

- they will live stream the final track being installed for the lift hill. 

 

Thanks @jack.c.

Didn't get to see the clip. No idea why someone down voted you for that.

No problem!

I don't really care about forum reputation - soon as I'm bored following this coaster I'll be outta here 😂

Small lavalier (lapel) style microphone (it just has a very large wind cover\shield\screen\poffle). Probably all they have to work with their equipment - but when you have two people talking, they have to share it, so that would be why he's holding it - she moves away a couple times and you can see him move closer to her throughout to keep the levels right.

If they plan to do more things like this in the future, it probably wouldn't hurt them to invest in a handheld wireless microphone.

 

Love that they're doing this, albeit late by our standards, to keep driving the hype(r) train.

 

My only critique (because I wouldn't be a fan boy without picking something to whinge about) I'd have loved to have them give a bit of a comparison with the lift hill - Greg said over 60 metres \ just higher than batwing - but batwing wasn't in the shot so it was impossible for people to do a good comparison - i'd have loved to have him say either 'twice as high as green lantern' or otherwise 'almost twice as high as those supports you currently see'

I do however think it was great that they shot it just as the NIL was being capped off. a few minutes earlier and they might have caught it lifting into position, which would have been cool to see. I wonder which piece will be the last one in?

Perhaps a drone shot or photo from the crane, from where the top of the will be looking out over the park would help? 

My pants just moved a little

Not just any strange microphone, the "world's smallest microphone"

Haha I love a bit of humour like they've done, Greg is a great guy.

Really looking forward to more of these construction updates.

For those who want to see it:

 Nice they're doing incremental updates like this, but for the love of allah that mic situation needs to be rectified. I'm pretty sure there's a Rode mic for an iPhone and a DJI Osmo floating around somewhere... #elevateyourproduction #wouldlovetoseemoreengagement #goodjobsofar #justwantthebestitsnothingpersonal

Am I the only one reading it as 'just want the best tits'?

I appreciate that this gets more likes than my post.

 

She's a beauty!!! 😍😍😍

Is this MACKS first NI loop? I'm really impressed and prefer it over intamins style. 

I believe this is Macks first NI Loop. Due to them not having such a thick spin on the track Mack seem to have way more supports then Intamin.

@jack.c What is the Flying Aces like to ride?

^This! I just want MW to do the best they can with marketing this coaster. I'd love for them to do proper cinematic style incremental videos (check out Efteling's coverage of Baron 1898).

best loop ever! oh it's nearly finished i can hardly contain myself

I've never ridden flying aces. I'm referring to the overall look of the loop compared to flying aces, which I feel ours looks more appealing to the eye and somewhat more of a "solid" feel to it.

Does anyone know if you can apply to be part of the T.V ad?

I'm going to take a stab and say that the restraints will be the same as Flash, based on what was said in the video. Very interesting look, can't wait
