Excellent work, Bob! And many thanks again, Travis! 
I am curious... Will the hollow areas inside of these structures be filled with concrete, or will they remain hollow?

Remain hollow filled with all types of wiring hardware and access stairs and platforms to work off of.

What HtF said :thumbs:
It appears the central column may have been made in Spain. I am still waiting on a confirmation of the manufacturer. I can tell you that the wall thickness is approximately 3.5". :stunned:
Thanks for the fantastic update Bob! The stuff you've been doing with BGT is amazing and very much appreciated. It's great seeing a park be very outgoing and supportive of construction updates! Thanks Travis as well.
Regarding the actual structure of FF, the sheer size is astonishing!
Glad to see in that video the fine gents of the Tampa PD providing FF with a police escort.

Just as I was beginning to think I'd mustered up the courage to ride this thing at least once, there's another update posted which reminds me how tall this damn thing will be :jaw:
Great updates Bob, appreciated! It's awesome that BGT are so cooperative with them too

It only seems tall if you open your eyes. :thumbs:Just as I was beginning to think I'd mustered up the courage to ride this thing at least once, there's another update posted which reminds me how tall this damn thing will be :jaw:

And good stuff there Bob. Wouldn't it be cool if UOR was as friendly and helpful about their construction projects?
See I will be the one as we go up saying how cool it is you can see so much from this high up Now since I have obviously never been on one where the car vehicles turn you like this once you get to the top, not sure what my reaction will be. But the going up that high won't bother me.

Yeah, I'll be the one trying to spot my car in the parking lot and pointing out the Tampa Bay Bridge.See I will be the one as we go up saying how cool it is you can see so much from this high up
We can play a game, who can spot their car first. Of course we will have an added level of difficulty because we will both be laughing at HTF

He'll be pointing on the way up.
The way down might be another story.
Really good article in the Tampabay Times today. The online version does it no justice though, here you go. http://www.tampabay.com/features/travel/attractions/thrill-ride-raises-the-bar-for-busch-gardens/2150344
The online article sucks compared to the print one, it shows a detailed drawing of the finished product and has many other tidbits of info.
I will take some pics and post them later.

Aaaah thanks! So it was built in and shipped from Spain. That makes more sense. Is it odd that it will only rise and fall once?
