I thought I'd start a seperate forum for Leviathan specific construction updates, so that we can easily follow the coaster in one place.

This was my first time seeing the vertical construction progress, so I took my big camera lens to the park to get some close up shot of the construction

Overview:

Close ups:

Despite the coaster not yet reaching it max height, it can already be seen for a lot of different points across the park

 

It’s good to see construction is progressing quickly 

That's the beauty of building a wooden roller coaster. They seem to appear vertical very quickly wood Is much easier to work with than metal. Thankfully they can have a good onsite production line that aids to this. 

I'm just gonna send the crown out to be polished in time for @themagician's coronation. At this rate he's gonna have it by Christmas!

Fountains don't reduce it @Rydah Hi

Oh.. ok.

some handrails and track support starting to go in. 
I’d zoom more but only got my phone 

More height today 

Genuinely excited to see a decent woodie being built here, hopefully borders are opened up once it’s ready to go.

Question: Is there any updates on Nearmap?

Not yet. Latest images are from 1st August and just show the empty slab. Pretty sure they were shared in another thread.

Ok.

Loving watching this go up. 

The piece being lifted into place looks like a big chair 

I can't wait for tomorrow's Constrution Update!

Waiting...

In the DC Rivals construction thread, people were demanding new photos often and it was very bad form. People are not going to go to SW just to get pics for this thread. Be patient, and then happy when new photos are uploaded by a generous member of the forum. With DCR, it was easy to get pics on people's commutes as we were spoiled. There isn't the same opportunity with Leviathan. 

I can understand people's impatience, being a theme park/roller coaster enthusiast in Australia is tough at the best of times let alone amidst a global pandemic and all the other shit happening to theme parks. Also spare a thought for us in Victoria, living vicariously through these updates... but yeah I also agree, no need to hound people for updates they will come when they come.

OzThrills on Instagram posted a Couple of Images on his Story.

I've a feeling Magician actually will go to SW just to get pics, but your premise is spot on.

If people are getting annoyed we are not getting as many picture updates in a day then geez I guess some within this community are needy. Just wait. Skipping a few days wont kill anyone. It will be more of a purpose when you see new photos compared to last weeks.

Oh right. I forgot sarcasm does not come across well.

I was not pressuring. Wa merely trying to have a light hearted joke. Sorry to any I've offended. 

Oh the amount of fuel used to cover the construction of Superman Escape and the demo of Thunderbolt/install of Cyclone almost had me divorced... 😉
