Assuming they didn't install bottom first,kinda depends on how far apart the supports are.
I doubt that, likely that entire turn is done like you said.
So..... Who broke the no drone zone to get this shot? Unless it was taken by some curious photographer with a heck of a lot of zoom from a helicopter or something.

While Six Flags Great America declares itself a "No Drone Zone" there is no law that prohibits the flight of my drone over the park. FAA regulations and federal law state that flying a drone over private property is completely legal, so far as the drone is registered (which it is) and other safety regulations are followed (altitude limit, airport restrictions, etc.). With the park being closed, I deemed it safe and acceptable to capture the over the station image. I did not interfere or impede the park or jeopardize the safety of others. While the park is in operation, that is a different story and I do not condone that. Being a licensed drone pilot who routinely flys under contract at large events, I trusted my skill and ability to fly the park.
TLDR: Is it frowned upon? YES. Is it completely legal? YES. Flying a drone over the park is not punishable my law. However, it does break park policy. So, if you're going to do it, do it at your own risk.

I can confirm this, not because i've done it but alot of business in general can get fed up if their fans get too nosey about their stuff.
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back

It’s not acceptable if it breaks a park rule. Great America is private property and you should abiding by their rules. Regardless of whether it’s legal or not by a state or federal law, you should still be abiding by the park rules. You should also be banned from this group for blatantly violating park rules as members of this group should be following park rules.

They have the right to set their own rules. If they don’t want drones flying over the park, then the rule should be followed.
I mean that's what i basically said without the whole enforcing rules part, but yeah. Best to not fly over the park property. I'd hate for them to lose their trust in us

Has anyone noticed that some of the older footers (for the brake run and lift) are covered up in tarp? Is it possible that they’ve started grouting some of the footers already?

How can you tell which ones? The ones that have tarps on the base?

You can make out what you assume would be the the ride operator booth in everyone's most recent update, Wheelgap got a good look at it. Given it's placement, that should suggest west side load side, east side unload

Just a reminder for anyone taking photos of Wrath of Rakshasa. Any photos that violate park rules will be removed from this website. Any photos taken from inside or over the parks property will be removed. Please don't post them here, and please be respectful of the parks policies.
The park doesn't own the airspace over the park, saying it's park policy is complete nonsense. They going to ban the WGN helicopter pilots and Marcus LeShock because they flew a helicopter over the park? A bunch of Stans, unbelievable.
I wonder how much they’re getting done today with this nice weather! I might be wrong but I saw the cranes moving on the traffic cam yesterday. I can’t wait to see Marcus’s tour and hope we find out some new info.
4th inversion is complete! There’s not much left to go before this coast is done. With the weather we are having and how fast they seem to be moving I’d say it’s finished next week!

In my opinion, there's probably no difference in how much they can achieve in a 40 degree day versus a 60 degree day (other factors staying the same). It was indeed beautiful today though
