It seems like construction is on a roll.

I'll be in the parks Monday and Wednesday to get some good shots.

So something came up and I will not be going to Holiday World tomorrow, (Monday) but, I will be there on Tuesday to get some photos of construction and videos for a park run through. I thought some of you would to see (hear) this interview with Holiday World President Matt Eckert. What a cool dude. Here ya go, and thanks to CoasterCrew for posting.

It appears crews are cleaning off the footers, and tidying up. My guess is supports will soon be placed? :D

Okay, after hearing that interview I was indeed wrong. B&M stepped up their game and I'm truthfully shocked, though it did take like a decade of waiting and persuasion for them to actually do it lol

What I love about B&M is that they actually deliver what exactly the park wants. Intamin has some great coasters, but I feel like they try to push the envelope a little to far sometimes.

I feel B&M is always 4.5/5, an awesome company that's always dependable, but not really earth shattering.
Intamin is all over the place, but hits 5/5 sometimes. Just think of the best roller coasters on earth, who makes them intamin! But who has the more problems? Intamin! lol so there's a huge drawback with them.
But come on! I305, MF, Mavrick, Expedition geforce, Bizzardo, El Toro, TTD! I guess pushing the envelope works!

Sorry for the double post, but hey, It's worth it!

So as some of you may know, I went to Holiday World today and got some photo's for the site, including these construction photos. Some of them may not be the best, (the track pictures were hard to take.) but here's a little update on Thunderbird's construction:

Track destined for Holiday World!

You can see the orange track over on the left, but what's that teal track for? It's already being loaded onto flatbeds so Carowinds maybe?

It's been a long time

Far right piece of teal track looks like some interesting shaping!

Thanks for the pictures Rick & Coaster Hero!

The trailer that Coaster Hero got the photo of, I watched it be unloaded on Tuesday. I wonder when those photos were taken.
