Ah, I see now. I didn't notice that the footers curved off to the side before because I thought the crossing was part of it. Thanks for the clarification cowboy, and thanks for not being a dick about it or anything Swoosh.  That's kind of unfortunate that there's such a big turnaround right next to the tracks like that. Now it really is a roller coaster alley.

Anyone notice the huge batch of footers on the other side of the valley from the turn we just discussed? Looks like something big is going on other there, but the footage is too shakey to see anything and it's too far away for most of the photos. I was thinking the first drop might go there, but it's a long ways away from the station.

I wondered if the footers on the otherside were actually precast, and would be "set" elsewhere...   maybe?

We were at SDC today and road the train.  When we got to the loading station you could look left and see wooden supports going up.  They looked like they were about maybe 50 ft. high or so.  Would like to have took pictures but was on the opposite side of the train.

Wow, vertical construction already. I know I postulated earlier that it could happen this month, but it still seems so soon.

So they're starting in the area near the maintainence where Zephon posted the first photos of clearing work?

[pintrader]

Yes!  Right in front of the old robber's shack across the tracks.

I am really surprised they are going vertical already..
I really thought they would do ALL ground prep and concrete footers this year,
Then finish complete assembly of building and track this next off season..

I guess they cant refuse the nice weather.

Way to go Wildfire!  Sometimes it pays to sit on the left side of the train.

Very nice, thanks a bunch Wildfire.

Hard to say what's going on with this section yet, it's obviously a turn of some sort, but it looks like it's transitioning into a drop.
