Just had a chance to watch the DVD time lapse video made by the park during the construction of BORG. The entire video was maybe 15 minutes or a little less. The video was taken from the Skytower. I was impressed with the starting point of the video. Starts with showing the complete excavation of the island, digging holes for the footers and then the actual rising of the supports. You could even see the snowfalls that hit the Charlotte area over the winter. It ends with showing a train making the circuit. I'm going to look into the possibility of making (legal) copies or uploading to Jonathan to use on this site. I'll keep yas posted!
PS: Please, I beg of you all, DO NOT start calling the park asking for this video. As far as I know, it is NOT available to anyone but certain employees and those involved with the construction process. The last thing they need is everyone calling up begging for copies of this. I will do what I can to get this available to those that are interested. Thanks!
