^^ Hmm, i think that the main bridge is a little up next to the 'lake watch or view' place. Yeah on the plan's it looks like you'd be more to the side of the lift.

Nice pictures anyway's, i love the first one :)

Edit: the webcam this morning shows that the support is back in, and it looks like some more track on the ground is in.

I quite like the entrance to the land. It will be crammed (a bit like the Dark Forest), but it will be cool to enter seeing the drop...

You can really see the scale of the track in this picture - it's HUGE!

Excellent picture's i must say :D!!

I love how the catwalks dip and rise with the angle of the track at the top of the lift xD

If they continue with the zero g, they'll obviously have to put the next support up.. Can't really see if there's any supports dumped on the ground though -__-

There are around 4/5 supports on ground behind Stealth all lined up ready to go up today I expect. I takes them a long time to get the track swung around into position, (I am so sad I actually watch them do it)that is probably why they haven't got the next supports up already, it is getting very tight for room for those two big cranes to move around.
The big crane has now gone and Fish re-opened again yesterday.

You can seriously see the scale of that Zero-G in those pictures, it's titanic! It looks so steep from the side angles so it should prove a sharp, intense transition. This is looking to be the most exciting addition of 2012 so far, I can't believe how much it dwarfs Flying Fish! :shock:

Isn't 1 opened this year, and 3 due to open next year enough to satisfy?

It seems like this is going up quite quickly, after seeing the track a few months ago on site, and now seeing it under construction, I am excited.

Not that I don't agree about how gargantuan and impressive it is, dwarfing Flying Fish isn't exactly hard now is it ;]

Equally looking forward to and not looking forward to seeing this next week. Excited because I get to see it in all its glory, not excited because it'll make me want to ride it even more!

Sorry Chaps obviously my photos have been popular as Photobucket have now blocked them, I will load them to Facebook so you can still view them as they will be public, grrrrr, images too big for image shack and flickr.


Joey it is from the Developers Diary on Facebook.....


Photobucket says I have exceeded my 10 gig download so heres the link to Facebook, where many more than I loaded yesterday will be viewable..
