September 21, 201114 yr comment_123634 Heh thanks, glad to help The only work I actually saw in progress today was on the bridge. There were a few diggers meandering around as always, too.
September 21, 201114 yr comment_123638 Can imagine so, plus Air doesn't have oil dripping off everywhere... That's the main issue for Colossus...You can always tell with UK construction topics when boredom sets in... Complaining about the colour... I can't wait for the inevitable trim picture to turn up and make everyone angry...You're going to give me nightmares...But anyway, I'm so impatiently waiting for some track to go up! Really can't wait... Wish I was the patient type! Anyway, I suppose Thorpe might of thought of having dark track is maybe on Fright Nights it's harder to see the track, so it'll almost look like it's not there so it gives the illusion that you're really riding an alien? I could be over analysing though... But in daylight, whatever colour you choose is going to be visible and grey and black is a perfectly sensible colour for this project. There's only going to be two black coloured coasters at Thorpe, could be worse! As it stands anyway...
September 21, 201114 yr comment_123643 Completely agree, Although it was supposed to be grey, I'm sure it was in plans somewhere, or on here maybe.
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123744 The moment of truth for all you guys, Track has started to be erected, it may only be the station track piece, but its a big jump!
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123745 The moment of truth for all you guys, Track has started to be erected, it may only be the station track piece, but its a big jump!Well, technically, track has been erected for a while now.. But maintenance track doesn't really count, does it? ;)But that's still good to hear I guess.
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123747 Yeah it has been like it for some time? I don't think the track will start erecting till mid next week, all the footers filled now?
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123748 I think you misunderstood 'RollerCoaster'... I was stating Station Track was erected today.... meaning not next week not last week today...
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123751 They would have been posted if there were. Hopefully this means we will see some lift hill next week.
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123752 More mistaken, Diesel, I thought the station track was erected a couple of days back. (I was wrong) Also by mid week I meant actual vertical track ^. sorry for confusion :DThanks for the update diesel
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123754 To confirm, you saw track being put up with your very eyes Diesel, or did you hear about it? Sorry I sound so nossy, just to make sure it's not a lie.
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123755 I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe me your more than welcome to go to the park and see the track piece for yourself.
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123756 Ok. I do believe you now, I just get annoyed when people say they have heard and not seen, or just make it up. Anyway, thanks for the news.
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123757 Diesel is quite a reputable member, legit news! Besides why would he make it up?
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123758 I'm going tomorrow so hopefully I can get some pictures or see if any more gets put up
September 23, 201114 yr comment_123760 I'm going again next thursday. Hopefully something might have happened by then.
September 24, 201114 yr comment_123788 Today I'm pretty sure nothing was going on, there was nothing mobile, and no workers there that I saw, but you can tell that the landscaping is coming along, there was a few idol diggers around the site.you get a really good view from riding Flying Fish, if you sit on the right hand side :)I tried to get a view on camera but this is as much as I could get:
September 24, 201114 yr comment_123810 But the most important question, how much track was up today?Without sounding idiotic but if nothing happening on site today, and only a single segment was erected yesterday surely that means.... still only one piece of track?
