7:10 and they're still out there working. I have a feeling they will be staying late the remainder of this week and next to finish this up.

That's the guy that comes in at 5 and does lift chain track

uhhh. What? "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
^ Over the past two days after 5pm, there appears to only be anti rollback and chain return going in. During that time (and I've seen it in person too), there's appeared to be only one person working at the lift hill and nobody else in sight. So unless RMC cuts back dramatically on their crews and has the ones still working work in areas allowing them not to be seen after 5, this guy must be the only one working after that time (besides perhaps a crane operator).

I think it was around 7:15 or 7:30 last night, I saw about 3 guys out there working but yes, they were working on the chain return track.

 Got to watch the topper track going up yesterday. Something I noticed is that the motor for the chain at the top of the drop is installed.
^ The motor is at the base of the lift. Only things up at the top are two sprockets,

And we still have the zero g stall track to go up

Hmm... well, they just took the piece back down to the ground.

Yes sorry, the sprockets are installed at the top.
Are they Spacely Sprockets?

 I know there's at least one car on the track already from a couple weeks ago, but have they added more since then? Founder of http://www.sfgamnation.com

They must be having problems with that last piece for the lift. They should have been working on the zero-g stall by now

Nope. Zero-G stall is last due to the cranes position. Lift is done now.

Good. Add 2 pieces of track to the stall before 5 and let's get rolling!

Anybody have an idea when we could see some testing going on? (Obviously not for a while though)
Hopefully by this weekend. If not, then the ride will probably have to be pushed back a few days.
Sure, doesn't matter that there is currently nowhere to mount the track on the Zero-G Stall.
They can have that installed on the track already and just mount it to the structure

Doesn't work like that. The supports need to be there before the track is put up. They can't assemble something that wide on the ground and lift it. That's basic laws of physics. Have you ever watched a coaster being built? They never lift track with supports mounted to it.

Looks like only the zero G stall is the big thing left! I'm sure this baby will be ready by friday afternoon!

Hopefully the lift stairs will be done before the storms hit. Seems like they have about 2 sections more to go.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
They can finish the ride by Friday! I can just feel it. They only have to finish the lift, the zero g roll and fill the drop with grout, and get the train(s) on the track and start testing.
They are going to put new queues where the old Iron Wolf ones were that were removed.
