I've been on the buildingsite last saturday to take some pics...


Safety first...

Update 16-3

To bad i ran out of batteries when i arrived at toverland, and also my back-up batteries where somehow empty. So i just took my vid-cam and shot some photo's with that one. They are not as fine as my regular camera, but hey....

Troy Update:


The deadmans point for the 2nd turnaround


Yummy @ helix


A better view of the deadmans point and you can see the zig zag from station to lifthill


More legs and the location of the close to 90 degree turn


The rain starts to leave and the sun starts to shine [pshades]


Wallpaper! [8D]


A beautyfull helix is that going to be [8D]


Can't wait till the station is finished with the fly though


Camelback and Location turnaround


The whole lifthill for so far


Nice twist and turning [pshades]


2 awesome turns together [:)]


A few lifthill legs together with some equipment to create layered rails [:D]


Crossover [:)]


The nice turns from the other side


And once again the beautyfull helix


From outside the park [:)]


From the backside


And the other side of the lifthill [:)]


And as final picture, the other side of the helix.

The guys are making progress with the parallell turns that'll go under the lift, allmost at the point where they cross-over. Also they have continued placing the 'ties' and 'catwalks' on the places where they didn't have those things

9 pics:

Thanks for the updates hyyyper, coaster_chris, and Dirk. This ride is looking great!

[hyyyper]

After today i think Troy is a bit over the top and it'll be only going downhill from now...

At this is for those who have too much time on their hands

Im not sure if I like the old version or new one better. I kind of liked the double right hand turn that was sort of a stutter step up but well never know. I trust that Jeff made the right decision but its not like ive felt all of his designs were thought out that well.

[coolbeans326]

^ he seemed confident with the changes he made, but I agree, I also like it as well, who knows though.

It's friday again and time for another update,

They guys have started the firts drop, and although they have only put up several legs, the drop is already quite steep and banking is also around 45 degrees or so.

The pic's:

And the drop is done! and the 70deg turn is also allmost done

[hyyyper]

Update friday 20 april 2007

The triple-crossover is nearly done, the little turn from the brakes to the station and the prelift 'S' are also allmost done. The marked some things around the station area and the entrance towers are getting some foundation.

^Check it out! The interns at GCI are giving us a sneak peak at what the themed trains are going to look like!

[hyyyper]

sorry to spoil the fun, but this is what they're going to look like in the end:

Party pooper

looks very good

Some new and very impressive views...

What a day was today. The usual Friday-update, together with a meet-up and a construction tour at the end. I won't be typing a really long story here, just caption the photos.


To start with the horseshoe, which was just over halfway done when we arrived at Toverland.





The horseshoe, is shaped in that way that it?????????ll give pops of airtime on the way up and down.





There goes another bent.






The bent, again.





After after short time is was almost ready to be attatched.





Overview I.





Another bent going up.






And up.





Once a good altitude, it's being guided to the horseshoe.






Horseshoe meet bent. Bent meet horseshoe.





The towers that, at this moment, are about 16 and a half feet high.





Which means that there will be another 10 feet on top of it.





The to-bo-theme-area, from the Boosterbike.






Poles!






Even the technical staff of Toverland is helping out.





The 70-degree-turn is receiving track.






Overview II.






Triple-crossover.






Overview III.






Overview IV from the survivalcourse.






Overview V from the Boosterbike.






Overview VI also from the Boosterbike.






Skyline of Toverland.





Then the tour started. We first got a presentation on Troy. For us coasterfans there wasn't much new, but it was fun for the once who didn't know anything on coasters. Especially when NoLimits was used to show off the ride.
After the presentation we went outside to walk around Troy. Us, coasterfans didn't. Because as soon as the gate opened we were runnen, around, over, under and through the support structure to take pictures.
.



When you walk towards Troy, you?????????ll come across the Tojan Horse. The foundation has been installed.






The Roof






The horseshoe.






The triple-crossover.






Same as above, only from the flytrough.






Entrance of the horseshoe.






Looking back on the 70-degree turn from the crossover.






Entrance of the horseshoe, this time from the track itself.






The drop.






The triple-crossover.






The drop (again).






Under the top of the lifthill.






The outside of the parallelle turns, this one goes from the triple-crossover to the big helix.






Looking upward to the lifthill.






Looking back to the big helix, from underneath the crossover.






The big helix from the inside.





Crossover from the big helix, also from the inside.






Trackshot of the little helix.






Looking from the little helix towards the horseshoe.







Trackshot from the end of the little helix into the brakerun.






The brakerun.






Trackshot from the bunnyhop.






Bunnyhop.






Entrance of the little helix.






Trackshot from the lifthill (it is forbidden not to take this picture when you are on the construction site).






Horseshoe.






Horseshoe with a little bunnyhop.






Prelift from the place where the transfertrack will be.





Horseshoe with the prelift on the foreground.





Trackshot of the part just after the flytrough.






Horseshoe.






Triple-crossover.






Trackshot of the 70-degree-turn, taken backwards..






Drop.






Big helix.





The outside parallell turn, facing the crossover.





The inside parallell turn, also facing the crossover.






Triple-crossover with on the background the horseshoe.






Drop with 70-degree turn in the foreground.






And then the 30 minutes were over, and a quick snap of the gate/towers.






Not to forget, in ThemeParkReview-style: Troy trough the trees!







Little background info. The first picture of the tour (with the horse?????????s foundation) was taken at 7:49, and the last pic (trough the trees) at 8:18. 40 pictures in half an hour, not bad.
After the tour I decided to take another off-site tour of Troy myself, to make a few twilight-photos.




Troy from the employersentrance.






From the parking.






150 feet to left.






The big helix.






Both helixes.






The little helix and the horseshoe.






Skyline shot.






Behind the lift/bunnyhop.





From here you can see the height of the horseshoe pretty good and think of how dominating it?????????ll be when the horseshoe is done.






Last picture, IMO the horseshoe is already dominating enough.

...I'm curious about that last picture. What in the world are those leaves doing on the shot? They can't just be there, becuase the shadow is cast on the actual photo...

Super extreme troy update!
No comments at the pictures so yeah, enjoy this 80 picture update!










































Construction area pictures:
























































































































Enjoy!

place holder.

Thanks Dirk some real interesting pictures.
I'de love to see hyyyper put his head through the track like that when its operating, be sure to picture that one.
I love woodie constructions, they're so laid back, like the scribble's on that piece of cardboard nailed to the supports.
You just wouldnt get that on Intamin construction would you!

But really, you guys are lucky. That things shaping like an absolute monster, i might have to get my ass over there one day.
If i do i'll give you lot a shout.
Good pics.
