Drove past 20 minutes ago...  Looks like they are putting the missing pieces into the turnaround section this morning 😁

Why does everyone forget that Waner Bros Movie World Abu Dhabi that opens this year.

Lol Tim, I meant it was the one option out of the two he mentioned 😛

@MaxxTheMonster that's good to hear. I forgot to post this photo last night, showing this area and that there was a crane on site, so assumed they would be installed soon

Ooo I see some fresh dirt piles there! A bit trivial, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of landscaping they do once the ride is complete. A bit of vegetation could make that strip of land quite attractive.

Jealous! Could you snap a few pics of the new supports going up towards the lift hill?  plz!

[Whombex]

As said by others over the last few days, it's supports week. Mainly for the non-inverting loop, but some for the dive into the loop as well. 

The support that's outside the fence is now in (just the first segment).

I would not be surprised if the supports for the lift hill went in very soon. It looks like they're waiting on more track pieces, the pieces that have been sitting in the compound a few weeks are still there, and only one container is on site. There's no shortage of supports though.

 

@jack.cit's hard to get good pics of that area, as it will be for the rest of the coaster's run back to the station after the helix. Got a couple.

 

I expect today's will be the non-inverting loop supports going vertical.

If it's not about the coaster construction (and you talking about you following the coaster construction doesn't count) don't post it here.

 

Not targeted at any one person, just been cleaning house in this thread AGAIN is all.

The pole is temporarily connected to a pole from the helix. Lots more thick poles (already connected together) on the ground both inside the fence and on the road. If they're not working tomorrow then Monday will be "non-inverting loop support day".

 

The helix exit looks like a smaller version of the twisty airtime leading into the helix. So it exits the helix by making a right handed dive turn.

Thank you @themagician I just did a drive-by and as I thought the top piece of the support has been removed again.

3:35pm for mine. Posted as I was standing at the fence.

Will upload my DSLR pics later tonight.

Pics from late morning:

Still waiting for that middle support piece. Despite appearances, there isn't an alignment issue with the airtime support.

Not sure where that support on the right went later in the arvo.

From Green Lantern queue. Note line-of-sight across swamp to the dive into the n-i loop.

Arvo pics:

Maybe that pole from the morning pics is the side pole on the big support here?

Showing the progress of the track coming out of the helix.

Best I could do of the new supports. If the main support pole is taking the weight, we're sure these supports are for the airtime hill leading into the non-inverting loop?

Looks like a rocky area at the bottom of the non-inverting loop?

Great pictures, love that you managed to capture different angles for us. Looks like some small air time bumps towards the end of the ride which I'm happy to see

Second large support currently being installed

Here are a few belated pics from Thurs afternoon. Took heaps, but trying not to upload any that have been covered in the prior couple of photo posts by others..

 

[TimMc333]

@Brad2912 Is that last picture of the final brake run? Looks like a nice bit of airtime leading into it.

Surely is...
