Hey Pashacar, welcome to updates!

Chuck, I suspect something might be mentioned this weekend at Eastcoaster. We have actually been reluctant to do any updates because there is nothing to update on :wink:

New update:

Work continues in the "twister" portion

Now, I wonder how the lift looks like. I wanna see this drop!!

Great update. It's nice to see other areas of the coaster than the lift hill. It provides a certain ease that things are getting done.

Interesting they didnt take pictures of the drop no?

Where is the drop no?

the drop simply isnt the story right now. They got pictures of the lowest part of the drop before the incline, but as far as the lift hill goes i dont believe the have gotten a whole lot more vertical construction up.

innervision · « **Reply #156 on:** February 04, 2006, 12:16:40 PM »

I was kind of thinking that maybe they have a ton of the drop done and are going to surprise us with pictures of the finished drop next time around.

Thats just me being optimistic though.

It definitely looks like there making progress with the turnaround in that shot and its good to see they have started the bottom's of the first hill.

WadeJ · « **Reply #159 on:** February 13, 2006, 09:29:13 AM »

The lower sections should go up VERY fast. I do really wish more of the first drop was done though. And now with this snow :shock:

GADVwow · « **Reply #160 on:** February 13, 2006, 09:58:19 AM »

Hopefully the snow was kinder to the partially finished El Toro than the snow and wind was to the then partially finished Son of Beast...

What do you mean? ^^^

GADVwow · « **Reply #162 on:** February 13, 2006, 10:38:36 AM »

When Son of Beast was nearing completion, the Cincinnati area had a major wind/snowstorm. A large section of the completed coaster was toppled and had to be rebuilt...This happened in early January 2ooo.

ChuckR · « **Reply #164 on:** February 13, 2006, 06:49:21 PM »

Yeah, that is all new to me. Crazy...

stew560 · « **Reply #165 on:** February 15, 2006, 09:40:59 PM »

I imagine they are waiting on doing the first drop until after they finish the turn into RT's infield...

Track installation on lift hill

ChuckR · « **Reply #168 on:** February 24, 2006, 02:20:09 PM »

The track is already there, I think there talking about the anti-rollbacks?

WadeJ · « **Reply #169 on:** February 24, 2006, 02:48:27 PM »

Correct. The track was already completed on the lift when we were there on Monday. The anti-rollbacks were actually being installed that day as shown here -

Three new pictures have been added this evening to the parks official photo construction gallery. Check them out!

i feel as though things are moving alot faster now.. though its obvious that we will not be seeing any el toro rides until late may.. just my guess.
