X-Flight new for 2012
Latest webcam image:
Off topic but is this the webcam
Yes it is
so do you think the cam is about 50-70 feet off the ground to give us a look at this awesome ride?
It can't be very high because it's not on a curve.
They are working on the station now as you can see the black structure to the left on the webcam.
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
I wish they could swing the cam to the left a little. Im off with surgery and nothing better to do but watch. Thanks I didn't notice the topic till after I posted.

Aerial view of X-Flight construction on February 4th:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRctK5vOBDE&hd=1 There was no construction going on that day (a Saturday), and based on the shadows/weather/clouds, it was sometime after noon I'm thinking. Here is the noon shot of February 4th:  (actually it was probably a while *after* noon, but w/e)
From the video the ride looks massive!!!!! Looks like that area will look great from now on!
The video also shows how small Iron Wolf's location really is without the ride there. I guess we already knew it was small with the ride there but you know what I mean. Really cool video though the majority of my attention fell on Eagle rather than X-Flight. It's hard to believe you go from the drop of Eagle to the helix in just a few seconds and it looks so long!

bull is soooooooo big. I mean i know it is big, but it looks so cool with the birds eye view like that
Is it just me or does it look like they removed the tracks by Wolf to remove it?
^ Iron Wolf would be no reason to remove the train tracks. Most of Iron Wolf was gone by closing day anyway. Though the tracks in that area could probably use some maintenance, there have been issues in the past.
The light snow on the track looks SO awesome!
Looks like they will be finishing the barrel roll today and possibly start on the final helix.

Could they have this coaster track completed by the end of this week?! MAJOR props to the construction team! It seems like it's only been a few weeks!
Actin Up 24/7
^ Doubt it. They're moving too slow this week. Only one piece yesterday and two pieces today. There are 19 track pieces left, and there are no supports up for the brake run yet.
How do you know there's 19 left? And I agree. They are moving very slow. It hasn't been that windy either! Last week they were crankin through everything. I want them to post new pics on facebook though. When do you think trains are going to start arriving? And signs?
 That rendering accurately shows all of the track joints. So basically just count what isn't up yet.
im pretty sure the reason they slowed down so much is they have alot of work to do on the station probably before they put the last pieces of track on. Accordingly they can m ove cranes or forklifts anything they want right up to where they need it instead of lifting it over track. Just a guess is all but could be the reason why. Im sure in the next week we will have some better pictures or the webcam moved again.
I work at SFGAm and they are working on the station and putting on some supports on the end of the station
^ I'm not buying it. Trainings for this season have barely started, and none of the trainings yet have actually been inside the park. And besides, if you really work at Six Flags, you should not be posting anything that is not public knowledge.
The Construction workers and Six Flags Great America Inc send me construction photos every week and ive ben working at SFGAm for 13 years
So why can you give everyone the play by play construction updates and not post the photos?
