They started putting bents up for the valley at the bottom of the over bank turn and the start of the floater hill.

Having the webcam is really cool.
It would be cool if there was a camera on the other side of the trees though. Like on DDD or AE.

I like how they are building the ride. They take a few days to assemble the bents and stack them on top of each other then take a day to put them all up.

WOW! Those RMC guys don't screw around when it comes to construction.
If they keep up this kind of pacing and speed, then the structure (and track) might get done ahead of schedule. So long as the weather allows them to.

So far the construction technique and the speed of construction have been very impressive.
I can't wait to ride Goliath!!!! :)

The next shot we see of the tunnel should be pretty cool. They have been doing a lot of work in that area lately. Can't really see in the tunnel from this angle though.

It appears spirits are hanging around the supports of Goliath, or perhaps it's just the snow swirling around. :P Anyways, I just caught this neat image on the construction cam.

So much for "Will snow slow them down?"
No, No it will not.

In this picture from the webcam you can see a snow covered piece of track being lifted into place.
