Construction pictures for the progress for X-Flight. 1/27/2012: A few shots this morning (missed it being put in place by a few minutes).
Pre-Inverted Drop pictures:
Inverted Drop going into place:
In Place (this twist looks wickedly good):
This pictures do not show how long the top section looks in real life. Also I was surprised how fast the last 2 sections went up (with an hour of each other. Took attach the piece on the ground to the crane took less than 10 minutes.
Today was the only day I could spend a lot of time running up to the park, so you will have to go back to the webcam until I can get some time to spend up there.

^ Yes, it is. The park is always really slow taking those down. Usually, that tree and the lights on top of Sky Trek Tower don't come down until right around the time the rides start running.
The straight section of the first drop looks very long and almost bizarre I wish the coaster wasn't red though, the skyline isn't the most interesting with all the red, yellow, orange, and brown.
Just out of curiosity, are you the same Rob that did the V2/DejaVu construction updates back in 2001? Those were great, got a lot of us talking on the net back before discussion boards were around.

I think it would funny if people start saying, hey they moved Iron Wolf.. I know this is a little different red, but you don't know the GP.

That was me.
I also had a website with Raging Bull construction pictures (only a handful) in 1999 too.
