wow, gorgeous!
Is this from Gardaland's swarm ride?
^ Swarm is Thorpe Park. Gardaland opened Raptor last year.
And yes, the picture is Swarm. EDIT: It appears the first footer has just been poured. 
^They're moving fast, now there's two in the ground, looks like they're getting ready to put the third in.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
^ There are at least 3 finished, but it's hard to tell because all the equipment blocking the view.
Did they just start placing those in today? How many casings do you think there are?
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)
Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
it's really hard to count with the low image quality.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
I had around 25 before it became impossible to count anymore. Now they're too close together at too many different angles to differentiate with the low image quality.
That looks sooo crazy. I can't wait to approach the drop next may. first GP rider of the season: Batman the Ride (2011)
first GP rider of the season: Iron Wolf (2011) (almost a solo ride) last GP train of iron wolf's existence at GAM (front row) last GP person off Wolf's station /brag
I can't really see but I think there's either 4 or 5 footers up now
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
Does anyone with Java/HTML experience know if it's possible to somehow isolate the Java applet on the Six Flags site so that you can view the applet all by itself? For example in a separate browser window by itself, or some other implementation outside the browser?
Java is a plug-in, so no.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Er... I figured it out
 If anyone wants to know how, let me know. The reason I wanted to do it is so that I wouldn't have to deal with Six Flags' Flash wall (if you don't have Flash when you enter their website, they yell at you and refuse to give you content).
OMG I JUST MOVED THE CAMERA! Can anyone check the webcam to confirm this? It should be pointing at the Blue Eagle ending helix. I'll move it back, don't worry. Actually I'm a bit scared the Six Flags people will see this and find me somehow :O
Yes, it is currently pointing at blues helix, but unless you hacked into their system I doubt it was actually you who moved it..

I can confirm that there is a way to move the camera without hacking anything. I did not post the method to avoid everyone trying it.
Well of course I didn't actually hack anything. All I did was edit some HTML. I'll move it back now.
EDIT: lol someone beat me to it.
...and there goes Daves invite to the media preview for X Flight
You did a very good job. Seems to be an exact match with its original location.
They have it as a preset so it is as simple as clicking a button.
I have already alerted them of the issue, so hopefully they will correct it tomorrow to keep people from messing around with it.
Still putting in footers, but glad to see some progress towards vertical
edit: just noticed the giant crane on site Don't fight the Bull, ride the Bull!
Best 2011 Moment: "I lost my phone on Raging Bull!" "WELL I LOST A SOCK!!!" Best 2012 Moment: "No good! DREAM ON!" Best 2013 Moment: "I came here for Auntie Anne's pretzels and coasters......in that order!"
haha people are still moving the camera around
 this is a bit creepy. Whoever's controlling it zoomed in on a van's license plate 
One person actually moved it to a shot of Sky Trek in the sunset which was very pretty
Don't fight the Bull, ride the Bull!

You mean Thorpe Park's. Yes, it is. Gardaland has Raptor, the first operating B&M wing coaster.
