ThemeTendo 260 Report post Posted July 29, 2017 24 minutes ago, Glubbo said: Landscaping still to go...? Yes... landscaping. Will definitely do another shot when that happens, I just won't do it weekly unless there are noticeable changes. Which is why I included it this week - first hill visible and the supports are now fully and finally in place; having been concreted/grouted in place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grantus 1 Report post Posted July 30, 2017 From those distant shots the lift hill angle really shows the point of connect well on Rivals peak height and first drop. Looking great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard 923 Report post Posted July 31, 2017 Yeah... still perplexed by that mess @Skeeta. It's like someone wanted the minimal aesthetics of a-frame supports despite it not being possible from an engineering standpoint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A tower centered around the highest point, with the track hanging out from it so as to appear even less supported would have been a more sensible approach you would have thought.

AlexB 4,313 Report post Posted July 31, 2017 I know it's ugly as sin, but i feel like these supports are far easier to construct and install than a giant tower. personally i think it would have looked better, i'm not against the idea, but that's my 2c.

joz 2,271 Report post Posted July 31, 2017 Glad it's not just me who thinks this. The ride will be awesome and no one goes on a coaster for the supports, but my god that first drop in it's incomplete state looks ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllegroCrab 214 Report post Posted July 31, 2017 The supports there right now might look ugly, but once the entire thing is built, everyone will be looking at the top of the drop and that joker face, not the mess of supports halfway down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know sometimes people post things up quickly, but its great to come into this thread and not view the same photo from a slightly different angle 12 different times, just so everyone who took a photo of the same thing got to post it. This has to be one of the most photographed rides in history and it's not even running yet - so thanks for being considerate! 1 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
