Hmmm... that sure does look suspiciously like an inversion.

Sure does doesn't it! But it .0000035345 of a degree off so it is still non inverted! :)
I hav to agree...That last turn looks like your upside down. Man, I cant wait!!!
That may be the coolest thing i have ever seen...
Jeff do you know how fast riders will be going at that point...

please send money
It does look like an inversion. Does anyone know what the angle is on a B&M incline loop?

Best estimation I've heard is in the 35 mph range. That sounds slow in a car, but it sounds about right for a coaster.

That looks pretty upside down to me :-)

Anybody have the image saved? I missed it!
I posted a GIF animation at this address...

It runs from 9:30 until around 11 but I missed a few frames when my boss was babysitting me :)

It shows people on the track, fog rolling over the lift,etc...
Please don't flame me too bad, the quality is not real good, but their exposure was bad, the files were huge and I had to make them manageable for slow connections.

It looks like something goes up th first hill and then down the life hill ( i think im really strange but thats what it looks like)

First of all MFBoy, he wasn't talking to you. He was just saying that the Animation was good. Anyway, it does look like there is some activity on the lift in the background. It looks as though they are sending a train up the hill then backing it down again.
That was wonderful... I feel so up to speed now. I never get to see any actual construction on it because I am never home till 4. School sucks, jsut to remind all of you! :)

"Your obssesed w/ that place aren't you?" (as stated by my best-friends about CP)
Looks pretty darn close to inverted to me also. Maybe they are surprising us.

Am I the only one who gets motion sickness on that site?

They've been testing the cable for weeks... that's not news.

That dude has it all wrong... they're not "done." There is still some grouting to be done, the thin layer of concrete between the support columns and the foundations. They also have to modify a few short support columns that were either not manfactured to spec or the footers were off a little.

They won't be sending any trains until these things are done.

Would you happen to know where these modified support columns are needed? I'd be interested to see how they would go about fixing them...
