Good to see all the pictures. Looks like they are making good progress now. I bet they will have no problem hitting their deadline.
*Forum post 100,000* -Remember there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
Sporlo you ok with rangingbull rider posting the same thing in 2 different threads?
No I am not. Fortunately for him it happens far less often, and it's also slightly more useful than other things.
Next part of the overbank structure is be lifted now...

Just looked at the webcam. I like how they almost got the Twist n Shout almost done. Also, I cant exactly tell but it looks like the airtime hill is already full of track? Like I said I cant really tell.
When you get to the top, and you hear that click, you better hang on, because your coming down quick!
^ I think you are right. There does seem to be some track on the airtime hill.
Next bent is going up now...

Even though the snow has been coming down pretty hard most of the day, they got some more track up at the end of the floater hill.

^ I don't know what they've been doing over there, but the track on the airtime hill has been done up to where the supports end since Friday.
They were working on the Turn around area all day... When you get to the top, and you hear that click, you better hang on, because your coming down quick!
I really have to tip my hat to this Rocky Mountain crew, they are performing in the worst weather and I honestly am shocked at how fast this thing is coming together given what Mother Nature is dealing them.
Agreed this winter has been terrible. Tons of snow, crazy negative wind chills; and they keep trucking along.
In that picture you can see that they have put up the track for the airtime hill very clearly.
^ We're still discussing that? That track went up 5 days ago
i wish we could see the other side where the station is
A bunch of new photos of Goliath construction were just posted to the parks Facebook page. Not sure how to add them to this post though. Here is the link to the album on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 355&type=1
Glad you can see the rest of the layout from the exit. That is they're keeping the station like it was for IW, right? I would love to get some off-ride of this beast when it opens.
Check out my Coaster vids
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_o4Mtg8LDHpRuK7rRKMdAQ It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle  Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU?   (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)
Check out the final lift hill design! Looks cool. I've never seen this before on a wooden coaster.
   You can check out more images SFGAM's official facebook page.
RMC must be taking a page out of Intamin's Playbook
I don't think anyone could have seen that coming
WTH!? Why did they change the supports!? How could the lift hill and the inverted zero g toll possibly be supported with very little supports!? That track is going to be SWAYING LIKE CRAZY!
Why did the support structure change?
