Construction hasn't started but here is the coaster. It will go under Surf Side pier then have a bridge in between and continue on to Hunts. When it comes off Hunts it will go back under Surf Side and finish. The lift and drop will be right next to the pier, but the station will be on it.

I'm digging those lift supports. Now I've found a way to conserve wooden coaster pieces without people bitching that it's unrealistic.

Ah! I'm so excited! My god-parent's beach house is on the street right in between those 2 piers! This will be probably the coolest coaster they'll have. Nor'Eastern is great, but this will definitely top that (duh, it's a Vekoma cut-out). I can't get over how cool it looks, how the lift hill supports are, and how they're going to build a cable-bridge over the non-pier section. That will be something to see when it's completed.

That looks very exciting! I love the use of the bridge in between the two pier sections. Very creative!

^Yes, that bridge, so cool!

The bridge is, indeed, very cool! Any of you have an idea why they don't use a full wooden construction for the lifthill??

^ Because putting full wooden supports is too mainstream.

Probably 1 of two reasons.

1. Full wooden supports would block a view of something, or they think it looks better that way. I like it. I think it looks cool.

2. The park does not have enough money to fully support the lifthill with wood.

I disagree. That open section is heavily used to get onto the beach (My family and lots of others use it when we go). Going full wood there would make that difficult and hard to get through. Besides, it looks really cool.

Thanks for telling me that. I've never been there so I wouldn't know.

It's going to be sweet to walk directly under the coaster and all of it's supports. There must be some kind of tarp underneath the track though because the chain might drip lubrication.

I agree with you that it looks cool. I might use that technique on one of my wooden coasters to conserve pieces.

Station


There are more steel supports

At least it is going to turn a little bit under the boardwalk, left to right, I don't know how much.








Maybe they use the steel supports on the lift because it will be easier for whatever way they put it into the sand. No matter what, something is going to be put deep into the sand.
