Kings Island in Virgina? What! Also the drop is very close to the ground, maybe clocking in at 322 feet?

Yeah the drop will be extremely close to the ground. From what I can tell in this picture from that article, Mike is standing next to the already installed bottom of the drop.

Pretty soon they are gonna have to go back up on the skytower to adjust the webcams! The new track is about to go into our blind spot!

[FamousAmos]

I will assume that the final drop height is 320 feet.

I missed this but did they end up not attaching big birds boom?

[DavidW]

looks like they might still be working on it

Four supports and 4 pieces of track installed. Link to gallery

Of course, this is the best one!

I didn't notice this, but on the side of the souvenir cup it says "valid through December 31, 2015"... interesting.
(You can see the writing better from the Carowinds website)

Are they working into the night? The construction site is all lit up with portable lights.

[FamousAmos]

I've been watching since nightfall (I'm working on something for my entrance model and have nothing better to watch).
There has been absolutely no movement since 6 pm when they all left for the night. The lights are there for security reasons I presume.

[Jonathan]

Yeah, that is probably the case.

[Jarsh]

I noticed that as well, but I don't think they are security lights. I think they are just the street lights for the access road that's back there. Of course, as bright as they are, they are probably using them as security lights, lol.
