Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2
I was on park today. Some pics for you
The painting on the maintenance shed is coming along well, the following few pics were taken through out today
The transfer track and the station track were being worked on quite a bit today.
Proof that the spinny wheels spin, here's one of the motors.
The tickler's foot is being added and the red thing in the bottom right of the image is the ride envelope measure.
were still at least a few days off testing, the footers haven't started to be concreted in yet. We also have some black metal things that I am not sure about and also a yellow frame that I assume will hold the cameras at the base of the vertical lift hill as on the game.
Workers at the top of the vertical lift hill looked like they were doing wiring for most of the day.
It looks like they have started adding the normal lift chain. that looks like chain to me at the top of the dog whereas we have none at the bottom
There has been quite a bit of talk about a bit of track still not meeting. This is the joint that they are on about. NOTE this is not one of the rails but the back spine and, more importantly, if you look at the bolts they are fully tight. I think that this is deliberate to allow for movement in the track, rather than a mess up.
Whereas, this joint, I think will be more problematical. This is the joint that I photographed last week when they couldn't get it to join. It is now joined but there is quite a visible step and that is track not spine.
Total NERD shot
The station building is receiving cladding
And further along we have this. I am not quite sure what is happening here.
The games unit has had more paint
My usual overview from the oblivion queue, sorry for the huge rain drop on the lens at this point, we were having one of those April showers that plagued today.
Finally in the car park we have 1 footer left
and 4 concrete stairs (which I assume will be the entrance to the queues)
And I will leave you with one more shot of the ride in the sunlight with a storm cloud behind.
