The Wayne’s World cameraman is operating it now.

EXTREME CLOSEUP!!! EXTREME CLOSEUP!!!

I guess we will be able to watch each bolt being attached.

Took a drive just to get out today.

Perhaps it's only me but I do find the roller coaster truss both unique and aesthetically pleasing.

Me kind of too. Some cool lighting would be freaking nice.

Maybe they can find a still-solvent company to buy naming rights for the lights, e.g., “the Ephesus lighting at the Ernie Davis Legends Field at the Carrier Dome.”

CL probably could make a sick slideshow or gif with all these shots saved!

Carrier Dome gets the rainwater flush Gravity

I understand that but if you had a hard storm it would be a giant waterfall. There must be a way to drain it without drowning the people down below.Should there be any.

What in the holy hell was that mega zoom in for the camera?

Ask Pete Sala.

 

[Toga]

Alright. I can't let this lack of cool exterior lighting thing go. How shortsighted. You are going to have the unusual roller coaster on top. Why not make it iconic? Hook up something cool but tasteful, maybe even with some potential for variation when circumstances call (e.g. Empire State Building). The entire country would be aware of where they were because there was some really neat lighting that went with the rollercoaster. Do you know how many millions a university would spend to get that sort of name recognition? So shortsighted.

Camera has been zoomed back out !!

 

[Qbobby]

That sure looks like a spiral in the road. And Skylar is in a position facing north that looks to be the norm for girder lift/installation from the ground.

Like I've been saying all along, April 19th is the day!!

Also, delayed :fistbump to whomever finally zoomed the camera back out.

 

[Qbobby]

Secondary thought. I think the girder might come first. Without the last diagonal spiral, they may have slightly ability to "wiggle" and gain 1/16" or so if the layout is off by a hair.

 

[CuseOnly]

I am amazed at how precise they are and need to be with a project of this size. The large crane operator skill is simply amazing to watch.

Ping me when the last one goes in

Can’t tell from my phone, are the crew on site this morning or should I expect the Golden Spike tomorrow.

I’ve seen at least one man with a bright white head that I assume is a worker with a construction hat on. Either that or it’s an extremely Caucasian man with a bald head.

I checked in around 7:30 am and saw no signs of activity. Might be because it is really windy this morning in CNY (around 20 mph). I think Monday is going to be the day.

But they aren't blinking.

Huh? There will be a roof and drainage portals just like there was with the old roof. If you got wet with the old roof it must have been from beer spills.
