Roller Coaster Mack Rides
This photo was meant to demonstrate that a section has been mysteriously blacked out, but the wind decided not to keep any secrets. It's merely the last of the remaining Mack crates.

A good look at some of the different sizes of footings that will exist for different sizes of supports.

No longer a Mack coaster it seems. As for what these crates likely contained, the answer is simply the thousands of sections of prefabricated rebar, bolts and framework that had to be assembled on-site before installation. It's really just one big IKEA project...

This fenced off area likely won't be part of the ride but rather exists for crew parking or equipment/part storage.

And if you thought we were getting close to seeing the sheer extent of this coaster, think again: there is an army of footings yet to be placed.

There's two fairly separate rows of footings; roughly parallel with each other. One either side of the bobcat stirring up all the dust.

Circular rebar towards the front used for the cylindrical columns, and large rectangular rebar used for the larger rectangular footings. The longer L sections are likely for the piles while the shorter L sections for the cylindrical columns. Have we lost you yet?

Piles of dirt. If you thought that roller coaster foundations were simply the cylindrical or square footings you see on completed rides, this should tell you otherwise.

A large rectangular footing and a smaller cylindrical footing. Mack roller coasters, including Sea World's Storm Coaster, typically feature all square and rectangular footings; it's somewhat unusual to see these cylinders being used by this manufacturer.

The black square jig is precisely manufactured to ensure that the bars are bars are perfectly spaced from one another. They will be removed and discarded later in the process to allow supports to be lowered and bolted in place.

The orange caps simply ensure that the relatively sharp rebar ends are clearly visibly and unable to cause injuries to construction workers.

The four yellow bars protruding from the concrete are what the coaster's supports are bolted to. With the ride being prefabricated in Germany it's crucial that these bars are placed absolutely perfectly on the site.

This photo shows the basic three basic components of roller coaster foundations. The slab at the base, known as a "pile cap", is heavily reinforced and connects with "piles" that extend many metres below the surface. The yellow rebar fixture on the right will be placed within the rebar that extends from the pile cap and the entire column filled with concrete. All but this column will then be covered over with dirt.

Dust flies as earthworks continue for the ride. These eight-bolt support columns will be fairly sizeable, either supporting heavy forces or spanning large heights

The yellow coloured rebar needs to be very accurately placed as this is what the precisely engineered supports for the ride will attach to.
