Hmmm what will this be?
It's still kind of early to tell but it's certainly not inverted.
The supports almost look like a kiddie coaster's...
That last support is pretty tall, I don't think this is a kiddie coaster.
I see you finally found a building space to work with! I really can't wait to see how you pull this off and how it turns out. I will stay tuned...
For now, at least. There's no guarantee that this coaster will be finished in the same place it was started. I'm still ready to move at any time now...
YES! FINALLY! I can't wait to see how this comes out! So are you still sticking to what you told me via PM?
I'll stick to it as close as I can.
This morning, I noticed that some track had arrived. I was only able to get a quick shot with my cell phone.

It looks like this coaster is going to be a lot taller than I thought yesterday. Easily taller than Euphoria.
Yes, those are all 8-rod tubes. I've sacrificed my thumbs for the benefit of super-strong supports.
It's still uncertain what kind of coaster this might be. However, these pictures should narrow it down quite a bit. Shortly after I arrived on the site, it began to rain. But, before I left, I was able to get a picture of what appears to be some unfinished track.
After the rain started, construction was put on hold. It didn't really let up either. Within a few minutes, it got darker and started to thunder. And due to safety regulations, they couldn't operate the crane in a lightning storm.
I'll check back this weekend and post any progress. Until then, please comment.

The weather is still pretty gloomy and the whole area has gotten really muddy.
On the plus side, some new equipment has arrived.
First up is this giant thingy. I've been told it's a hydraulic motor, and it works like a giant air compressor.
And lastly, these came off the truck wrapped in a canvas to protect them from the weather. There are only three of them at the moment. No one is sure if there will be more.
The guys have started up a betting pool as to what color they will be. Personally, I think they're blue. But a lot more people think they might be silver. You can cast your vote in the new poll. And we'll see who was right when the trains are unveiled.
