[Dirk_Ermen]

Here's an update from my side, i went wednesday:


Imagine the view when it's double as high, currently that turn is about 20m high.


Even on the parking lot it should deliver some really nice shots [:)]


standing next to it gives a nice view of everything in one line [:)]


I think this turn is going to deliver some really nice lateral g's when it's finished


When i went get something the eat on the placemat below there was a small article about it informing the guests [:)]


From the launch of the boosterbike it should deliver also some nice views when it's done [:)]


During the ride it was hard to shoot some pictures since it rained all day [:D]


Can't wait till july! [:D]


From the survival track you'd also get some really nice shots from the track [:)]

XL Version from a little different angle as above [:)]


Those turns are going to be fun!


And as a final shot, the beautyfull helix [pshades]

From close it's really starting to look great, i'll probably check back again in a month [:)]

Looks great. Are they still having a wood shortage?

awwww, come on august when we will all be there on the ICCQ. i realy want to go on it

Update 16 February 2007

Today (and yesterday) the camelback has gone up, and so is the lift because they are running parallel. Also a little building for the chain motor has been put up.

The pictures: (only 4, if you would like a specific pic from a specific angles, pm me)

Parallel to the lift [:D]


Close up from the lift and the airtime hill


From the parking lot: Damn... that small hill is going to delever some nice g's [8D][pshades]


Full view [:)]

Full view of what's standing atm


Again that tiny hill


Footage from the boosterbike. Much easier to photograph when it isn't raining [:D]

Thanks to the sun you can see the shaping of the small hump. [8D]


How the small hump resumes into the big floater hill and then the turn to a flythough.


Picture from the survival track [:)]


More footage taken from the boosterbike


Defenatly my best shot today, so I immediatly put the huge version online for the grab: 2816x2112 version


Too bad a little blurry but it's still a good picture imo


After closure of the park after 6:15pm i went looking at the little hump again. A few legs were added [:)]


A little dark but the idea is good to see [:)]


Again the mini hump, can't wait to return to toverland again when this is finished. I'll defenatly be the first one of the regular guests to ride it [8D][pshades]

There we go,

Update 2 March

Quite busy on the site today, a container has arrived with ?????????things?????????, which includes the ?????????dead-man?????????s-point????????? for the big 270-turn. The other big turn is getting lateral bracing. The crossovers on the west side of the lift are nearly done, which also mean the entire track on the west side is quite done. And piles of legs for the first drop have already been spotted.

Enfin, the photo?????????s



The 'dead-man's-point'

Troy is looking excellent! Thanks for the pics hyyyper!

The lifthill of Troy just collapsed during hard winds. No employees where hurt during the collapse:





Damn....

Wow! That is a surprise! I hope this doesn't set back construction too much.

Rode it at different fora's

Hope there aren't too many things broken.

According to GCI it will set back construction about a week. Luckily no workers where wounded.

Damn, a week isn't that bad for what happened!

[hyyyper]

i heard 3 and a half weeks from coasterchi, but then again GCI says a week...

Rebuilding the lift structure probably shouldn't take long. It didn't take long to build it in the first place, and as long as they have enough lumber it should go pretty fast. The foundation was unharmed. The main problem as I see it was if the lift fell upon something, and damaged that. Depending on the damage, it could take some time cleaning the site, and rebuilding those other sections.

[hyyyper]

just heard an interview the local radio station had with my boss, she said that it's two weeks..

What actually happend was that the storm rose just as a new leg was being put into place, and there hadn't been enough lateral bars connected yet, or at least not enough, so the last leg fell, and pulled the rest of the lift with it. Nobody and nothing other than some cracked wooden was the result

If GCI wants to do it in a week, they can. Some of the best crews in the business.

[Dirk_Ermen]

Here can you see some footage of the fallen legs on a pile:

And for the folks who can understand dutch there is a short interview with some info hyyyper and chi allready gave [:)]

[Coasterkidmwm]

It fell over because one of the construction workers touches himself at night.
