I've watched Dollywood's videos, and they have made videos of the making of Wild Eagle. I think it would be really cool if Six Flags did that, and we got to see live footage of Xflight taking shape.
EDIT: Well not live, but you get what I mean

Live (since load):
are they working today
No. They hardly ever work Saturdays.
I am so excited to see what will be done tomorrow! It's going up so fast!
As am I! I just wish it was done already
I drove past today and saw it in person for the first time. It's very shiny.
Heading out to Libertyville tomorrow for an oil change, thinking of going out of my way to see the color with my own eyes.
Unrelated...but anyone know if any photos exist of Wolfie...err..."Apocalypse's" progress? I'm far too lazy to look. Missing Shockwave more and more every day.
^ Last picture I've seen (Jan 31) had all of the footer work done but no track work.
Are they done for today I don't see anyone!
Looks like they moved a bunch of track over into the area today and put up one. I bet much more will be put up tomorrow now that it's all nearby.
Good ! When will they start working on the station does anyone know?
The article in the news stated station work would begin this week sometime....but you never know
....I didn't see that. It's not going to be started for a while I think. After keeping an eye on the Wild Eagle construction, the Buildings and other structures go in last. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Landscaping and footers are done, just search for Six Flags America on Twitter, they post pictures there. ^I haven't checked in a while so I could be wrong. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Don't they work on the station after the whole track is put up.
Not always ^sometimes they work on it as they work on the track!
Yeah, as one example look at Leviathan. It may have few pieces to go, but the station has been worked on for a while now. It just depends on what they feel is best to work on on their schedule, not every coaster has the same one. Diamondback started with the splashdown pool first of all things so construction can start/end anywhere.
I dream of the 400ft "Great American SkyScreamer". x
From what's visible, it looks like about 11 or 12 pieces are on scene. I'm predicting them to finish the immelmann and then start the turn by the trench.
It almost looks like they already put one random piece up back in the turn after the trench.
The next part of the Immelmann is on so I expect that to be finished today.
What are ur estimates for rooters without supports yet
Half of this topic has become "when will they build this part, when will they build that part?" Unless someone here knows the construction foreman no one has any way of knowing what order or exactly what day each part of the ride is going to be built, and it doesn't matter anyway. I can promise you when the ride opens up the entire thing will be built they are not going to randomly forget a track piece.
There should be 26 footers left without supports right now. There are 12 supports left that aren't up. The 26 footers include supports that use more than one footer and the footers for the storage track area.
^^ LMFAO
