The worst of all this is that by the end of the year, most the track will be built along with the show buildings and then we wait 6 months while all the interior scenes are completed with virtually nothing to see.

If you guys noticed, there are some pretty tall support beams relatively speaking. It may go above ground quite a bit more than I personally thought based on the Insider info here.

Some supports will be at a 45 degree angle to support track that goes over water or other items below, so they will need to be long but not necessarily go up very high. Also, as mentioned, the track will overlap itself a few times, so that'll be more than twice as high as the current supports being installed.

I wish you knew more about MoM, Shrek, DM/production central, Lagoon show, VB expansion, Seuss, LC replacement, TL replacement, Marvel, JW, 3rd Dry Park, etc etc etc. Granted, most of those are pie in the sky- but some (USF Lagoon) are under construction and we don't have any concrete info on.

I'm spoiled with you re: This and SNW.

Yea, if some of these things were a little more farther along, I'd probably have more info on them.

As for T2 replacement and lagoon show, I don't usually get my grubby hands on details from Entertainment run projects, which I assume those are.

Considering most won't come to fruition- and if they do, it won't be anytime soon- I won't be holding my breath. ;)

Intamin has always used round plates and a ring of bolts to tie their supports to their track. The new wave breaker seems to have rectangular plates, but uses an H beam for supports. If this is an Intamin, this would be something different for them.

I thought we already classified this as Intamin, due to the group setting the track up is responsible for all of the other US installations of Intamin's coasters? Did something change?

I've heard Intamin before that. As I said before Intamin likes to value engineer and outsource manufacturing, so supports change all the time.

I’m noticing a trend of passive aggressive shots here....

After looking at the aerials from the storage yard, I'm seeing what looks like some of the more typical Intamin pieces with the round ring mating collar. I'm not sure why they switch to a plate style for the supports that are already standing, but that's engineering for you.
