Im starting to get the feeling that something went wrong, when it said on their facebook, "we'll have pictures tomorrow" i assumed it meant "We're putting them up tomorrow!" But, who knows...

A possible problem is the electricity not being wired correctly. The tower needs to have a light flashing on top for airplanes before they can get it any higher than the skytower, so maybe they are having wiring problems, or maybe they are just waiting on the bulb for the light. :lol:

Its hard to see from outside haha. But only 2 more months til we get an inside POV so I am just looking forward to it.


Couldn't agree more there,this will be a great addition at both parks that's for sure.

TR really needs work,when I rode it last year(left track) it was horrid on the outbound run with so much jackhammering that my calf muscles actually hurt from the ride....one postive about it's design is the simple station entrance though,why ohh why can't(or won't) KD reconfigure Rebel yell's queue to be that simple?

I kept watching it. It looked like it was hooked up from the crane. I wasn't 100% sure though. Not sure what the delay is.

There is a different, taller crane there, now, joining the other crane. I assume with two large cranes on site, they'll have the tower topped off today.

We finally have some 'air time.'

It was standing on the ground for a few days before they got it up in the air today...

Here is a screenshot, I guess it was laying down on the day... the next it was standing up, like the last one is doing right now... I thought i had a screenshot of it but I cant locate it...
