Nice pictures, but the Hyper's price is listed in the pics?

I think that pieces indicates the extreme nature of the first hill.

@djrappa Also looking at the connection points for the first drop, going to be very steep and reach that 115km/h very quickly.

And the rise back up to the first air time hill is a lot steeper then I first though from the official video.

Indeed - that first hill is going to result in a pretty awesome *POP*!

Construction of the actual coaster should be finished in approx 3-5 weeks! We're getting closer and closer to opening. I'm very impressed with the steepness of the drop and the first airtime bump, it's going to take the wind outta everyone!

What is a bump @jack.c?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Something used to revive a dormant topic to elicit renewed discussion?

[themagician]

The left side of the air time hill was being installed at 8am this morning. Depending on how quick they are, we might see it completed today, or maybe tomorrow.

Just dropped in on way to work getting ready to lift air time hill after first drop

Come on guys and girls "airtime is the outcome of the element but not the name of the element and it’s certainly not a bump.

How about an "upwards seated coaster track bit"?

You have forgotten the 2 reverse cowgirl seats.

 

 

Here's a photo I stole.

I love how low this gets to the ground. 

 

I stole this photo too.

 

What can I say.  I stole them all.

Went out there earlier today, airtime hill is coming together nicely. Also, as you'll see, the mystery of the missing beam has now been solved and what's in place has got a little chunk taken out of it.

If you want to see more VSCO-ish artsy shots of construction, you know where to go.

Another support was installed

And here's a photo of the NIL as the sun sets

Nice very nice but on a serious note I wonder if the coaster would have enough momentum to go through your double loop??? 👍

[Tim Dasco]

@Reanimated35 so it will have inversions? I knew it.

not only will it but it will than come back up and go through both the loops than do a half loop downward right under the loops and continue on.

It looks to be on the joins between the tracks. The best I can think of is possibly grinding down the track so that there's a smooth transition between pieces.
