Track arrives |

The base of the station is in place.
|
|

A wider look at the site.
|
|

Across towards Rita's brake run.
|
|

Footers in place at the start of the layout.
|
|

A trench for the track before the lift hill.
|
|

We're expecting construction to proceed very quickly from this point.
|
|

Where the lift hill will be.
|
|

Now then, look what we found in one of the car parks...
|
|

Several trucks have arrived - what could they contain?
|
|

RCS (Ride Construction Service) are familiar with the SW6 site - they were the company responsible for constructing Rita in the adjacent area.
|
|

More interestingly... track has arrived!
|
|

A close look at one of the sections. That confirms beyond doubt that it is an Intamin coaster.
|
|

What looks to be transfer track.
|
|

More SW6 track, with a black paint scheme to match the "dark forest" theme.
|
|

For the station or maintenance area possibly?
|
|

The other steelwork from the side.
|
|

We'll now have two Intamins side-by-side, similar to the Forbidden Valley which has two B&Ms.
|
|

Cranes have also arrived, ready to lift the track sections into place.
|
|

Note the buffer - this will be for the maintenance area.
|
|

The holes here look like they're for 'kicker' wheels to be placed.
|
|

A large area has been set aside for the steelwork - more is expected over the next month.
|
|

Looking back across.
|
|

Close-up detail on the track join.
|
|

Might this section be for the turnaround preceding the lift hill?
|
|

Electronic components have also been delivered.
|
|

A family coaster is one that appeals to all - somewhere between "thrill" and "kiddie" (The Beastie). An example of this type would be Spinball Whizzer.
|
|

Labelling on the side of one of the crates.
|
|

A storage tank, presumably for silica sand.
|
|

Shock absorbers.
|
|

Drive pulley.
