There's also new contruction going on in Area 51 and a friend and I grabbed some pics. They have a lot more of the wall taken down now.

Have fun, enjoy etc..

Very interesting. This is going to be a very interesting off-season. ;) Maybe since they are building this one way bigger than Millie they can just send Millennium Force to Knott's. :) (j/k of course).

Sweet, this thing is going to be HUGE. Nice pics.

-----------------
Coaster Counter: 85+...I need to sit down and figure it out :)

Thanks, I'll be going back a few more times so I'll keep everyone posted. I talked to a really nice guy who was out there taking pictures, too. We were discussing the size of the track. anyone else notice that it seems bigger? not in terms of gauge or anything, but instead of being just a box, it's a rectangle. not sure.

Thats what i thought too. That the track looked much bigger than normal!

-----------------
If practice makes perfect but noone is perfect, then why practice.

It's the same as Millennium Force's...go check over at GTTP's gallery during its construction. I think everyone that sees the track thinks it looks larger than normal...even me. :)

Okay, can't get over the colours. Hotdog stand: the ride!

It looks like that track has two sets of running rails. I don't remember other box track having that.

That would be so sweet if it was a 4D Intamin.

Nice pics! If I plan this just right I think I might be able to make this soon-to-be Intamin masterpiece my 100th coaster.

-----------------
What would we all do if roller coasters became non-existent???

The track looks like any other Intamin box track, the four rails are normal. You can tell which set of rails are for the wheels because of the stripes on rails. Not sure if the stripes are paint or just the absense of paint.

Nice pics.

i wonder though...how do people get the idea that the supports are tan, when they are really yellow...

You have outdone yourself as always, Josh. Your my hero! ;)

BTW, I tried e-mailing you on Tuesday, but Im not sure if you got it.

Maybe the wider track means that train will be wider and get more people. That would be cool if they could get like 8 people in one row!

There was one thing that I noticed. I was comparing the picture of the footer to the construction photos of Millenium Force, and Millenium Force's footers are much bigger, when this is said to be MUCH taller than the the Force. What's up with that?

-----------------
Magnum is red,
Millenium Force is blue,
I love Wicked Twister,
and Raptor too.

CPnut that doesn't mean that is the footer for the top hat. that could be for the lauch, break run, or some other part of the ride.

How did you get so close to the track and where they are clearing the land?

-----------------

thats a good point. I didn't think of that. :)

-----------------
You want to know what Millenium Force is on a scale from 1-10? Oh, that's easy. A bajillion out of ten.

I was wondering the same thing. But if you look at some of the pix, there are also some tan ones in there too.

Those pics were okay. I wouldn't waste my time taking them again though, they could be better taken by someone else.

Hahaha, get jokes? :) Just kiddin' Josh, your pics actually make me like the colors for the first time! Wonder how big this sucker is going to be...

Joe, who thinks 700ft sounds about right.

-----------------
It tastes like burning.

There hasn't been a lot of white track showing up lately. What is there like 2 or 3 pieces?
