I was reviewing the time lapse construction video of BORG and thought I'd share this interesting screen shot I took from the DVD.

This is not only BORG just after the huge snowfall we had in Feb. But if you look closely, you can see the train just before the loop.

This, I was told, was when and where BORG had it's first roll-back. I heard this had happened but wasn't quite sure when & where on the course. It stayed in this position for a couple days until they got the crane to pull it through.

Anyway, thought some of you might enjoy this unusual view.

Definitely an interesting picture, the whole coaster looks different in white, a change from its "dark" kind of feel now.

I've converted the DVD into a 28MB movie file using several formats, .mp4, .mov., & .avi. I'm awaiting word from Carowinds on whether or not I can send this to Jonathan for all to enjoy.


update: I recieved an email from Carowinds allowing Jonathan to upload the time lapse video to his site. Now, I'm just waiting for Jonathan :)
