the track is not sorted yet, I'm sure it will be but I'm say Bette watching them. It has been bolted in since yesterday but it still not married up. They are up and down on that cherry picker adjusting posts but it still ain't right.
Poop... Will it be up by the end of the day?

Good news about that piece that wouldnt fit! As an engineer, it does my heart good to see steel behaving the way it should be.

Anywho, now that THAT issue has been sorted, back to the fins... ;) NOT

Surprised to see the final marmaliser leg going in when the first lift hill and one of the inverted drops are not yet complete
I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example :P

The leg wont effect the construction of the inverted drop and the lift hill however the drop and lift wouldeffect the leg

same here :/ but maybe there not wasting time and getting the leg finished because theres no more track to be put up (no more deliverd track?) idk really but it seems like they might be doing the inverted drop fault first ;)

I do believe that anything that interacts with the track needs to b built before testing can take place to make sure there is adequate clearance. So the hypnotiser leg needed to be built ASAP as theoretically it is part of the track.

From Roodles, you can see one of the spinning disks attached to the leg:

I believe that once the leg gets lifted into place in terms of the actual framework of the legs that leg will be finished, but more disks will be added on later of course.....

What is happening about the first lift hill today, do you think we will see it finished today, or is the bulk of the work on site today focused on the marmaliser?

The first lift hill will be the last piece to be completed, as it will block access to the site otherwise. Therefore, they will sort the inverted drops out, and then install the remaining pieces of lift hill.
