Cheetah Hunt

[TSSD]

I just noticed the cheetah statues, how long have those been around?

I think ^ this update is from today, but I'm guessing they're not new.

Nice to see them be more than just mesh! They look great!

Anyone remember the old leaked pics that showed themeing on the supports for the area that passed over the EOA path? If you look at this picture is shows the same supports as the picture did (A support on the right that doesn't touch the ride, and the triple supports on the left)

FNA! Looking great.

I noticed that too, the only thing I thought it could be used for is supporting an inversion below it in the trench. But I don't think that is part of the layout... That's going to be some very cool theming to warrant a support like that. I would love to see a closer picture of that support.

Track is up for the third trench, and the hill is nearly done! :happy:

From the picture I have it looks as though the support beam is used to hold up a banner. Busch Gardens went all out for this coaster!

From RollermanDan at Florida Thrills:

They've started prep work for footers with gravel going down. Just like in the other trenches. Next comes rebar...then footers...then finish track. I believe the second trench might be the last thing completed.

Looks like work is finally occurring in the second trench! :happy:

Video was wrong...the first S-bend is to hop OVER Sky Ride!

I tried to put what I thought after reading that post into words, but failed...
Until I found this, which is exactly what I am thinking:

Another update from RCPro! Tons more track has gone in today and there is very little left to erect.

^Thanks for the update alert.
That thing is massive! Might have to run over there tomorrow and have a look.

The track going over the skyride sounds frackin awesome! Now the skyriders can't drop stuff on the cheetah hunters.

 

[StarTrekGeek]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA! The track will go OVER the Skyride?! :jaw:

This... is... awesome...!

I hope that they hide some of the tracks and supports with foliage.

Now I really, really want to ride the skyride.

No but there are still other place in the park to play "Bombs Away."

Was going to take a look but it is looking like rain all day...

I'm here at BGT now and I can tell you that the track will be going over the Skyride. It's just after the train exits the trench from the drop off the tower.
