I totally agree, which is why I made the comment in the first place, the dirt on the track really doesn't have anyhting to do with the construction and progress of the build.Luce wrote: Now now guys, this is a construction topic not somewhere to argue. Please kindly stay on topic thanks
The loop will probably be finished by morning.RollercoasterGEEK100 wrote:Just one more section of the dive loop then i guess.Hazbean wrote: My friend posted this about half an hour ago.
I disagree - it is still part of the construction of the ride as it is dirty because of storing/construction - it certainly isn't speculation and isn't going off topic. You, I and others arguing if it is or not, is going off topic...owenjohn wrote:I totally agree, which is why I made the comment in the first place, the dirt on the track really doesn't have anyhting to do with the construction and progress of the build.Luce wrote: Now now guys, this is a construction topic not somewhere to argue.

But I will apologise if it offended anyone.
Haven't you noticed? The trains in the pics are the Oblivion trains! Exactly the same, apart from yellow restraints and no Oblivon theme but yeah the general structure and build of them are the Oblivon train haha some said before that she prefers them to the one we already have :/ so I was just pointing it out hahawillt2405 wrote: I FOUND SOME PLANS FOR WHAT COULD BE THE SECRET WEAPON

I'm pretty sure they're just plonked in a hole and will cemented in once the track is complete. It probably wouldn't take much work with an industrial jack hammer to break open if they needed to remove or replace a stanchion.owenjohn wrote: Are the support bases bolted down into the footers before they are concreted in?. if so it seems a strange way to go about constructing a rollercoaster especially if one of the supports becomes a problem at a later date and needs to be replaced

But why do you think they did this, before the trains were seen? Or something else haha

I said this before, the SE could be where the track spins you 360 degress UPSIDE down.

The footers are only being half filled aswell so if there was a problem, it would be easier to break.Hazbean wrote:I'm pretty sure they're just plonked in a hole and will cemented in once the track is complete.

I think he means the ride - he's clearly upset that it's not coming along as he wanted it to, but that's how rollercoaster construction works most of the time, especially in Britain with our horrificly random weather.NINJAwarrior360 wrote:What will?undeadarmy wrote: Yeah, it will open in 2017.
Soft openings are a possibility I guess!AniaPotter wrote: Quite a bit of people have said that the earliest it will open is May 25th and if that is the case, I will actually cry! Im going with my school May 24th and I live up in Scotland so its not like I can go anytime I want Anybody think its possible to open earlier than that, what with the speed of construction?

2017? Are you having a laugh? 3017 IDIOT!undeadarmy wrote: Yeah, it will open in 2017.
It's always possible but unlikely, May 31st is really pushing it in my opinion but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!AniaPotter wrote: Quite a bit of people have said that the earliest it will open is May 25th and if that is the case, I will actually cry!
