Well Im sure we will be fine. Even if we get behind schedule, there is nothing we can do about it.
I have a quick interview with Brandon Bruce from the park's PR later so if anyone has any questions regarding Goliath or the 2014 season, let me know. Also, it appears they have more supports up for Goliath but it's hard to see on the webcam because of the way the clouds are spreading the sunlight right on the camera.

They should have someone go back in there and take more pictures.
Ask about the Goliath Insider Competition. You might want to ask first off camera if he's okay with you asking about it. Ask about how weather could affect Goliath's opening date. (Weather slows construction progress and is completely out of the park and RMC's control. People don't seem to be getting that...)
I got the okay from him. It's just a quick email interview to answer a few questions I know some people have. I'll be sure to ask those questions. I'll send them in late tonight or early tomorrow if people still have some.
Here's a look at the construction site as of today...

When is your interview? If you have the time, please consider creating your own separate thread/forum/topic where people can ask questions for the interview.
^I can do that. I certainly don't want to get this thread of off topic so that's probably a good idea.

This is exactly the question I have been asking for a while now. The part of the ride they're working on now is the smaller hills that are closer to the end of the ride. As for the lift hill being topped off, I think that might not happen until at least Christmas Day or around that time or perhaps New Year's Eve/ Day when the lift hill is fully built and topped off. Of course, this is all under the assumption that the weather will be good for construction. But with Chicago weather, you never know. One can hope, right?
More supports for Goliath are going up behind Spacely's Sprocket Rockets.

Just a shot from the employee drop off (NOT past the No Trespassing sign). Not much of a picture, but gives a perspective of how it looks from a distance.
Also posted a picture of Ragin' Cajun being loaded onto trucks in the 'Ragin Cajun Confirmed to be Leaving' thread.
Brandon Bruce stated in the "Quick Interview With Brandon Bruce" thread that Goliath's lift hill will not be topped off till March. I thought it would be toped off much sooner.

I just don't find that likely. I feel like the lift hill will be topped off sooner than March. I'm not sure why they haven't started the lift hill first.
