Big, big, big lift hill supports going up on the lift now. Getting closer and closer to topping off, very cool.

That weird angled support that's the tallest support has gone up.
I am out of ideas for what to write in this signature box.

That's the second highest support, not the highest.

Few pics from tonight: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbn ... ?album=360

Sorry about the quality on the first two. The light was like nonexistent, but I was determined to get a lift hill pic. I tweaked them as best I could but they're not great.

It's still taking a while to get used to seeing a gigantic steel coaster at KI. They're creating a monster!

It honestly does NOT look like the track is going to be steep enough to get up to that support...I looked at it from many different angles last night...it just doesn't look like it!

Looks can be decieving..

I sure hope they did not mess up any calculations, but I'm sure it's just an allusion.

It'll make it.

I love optical illusions.

And the pace of the construction so far--wow, kudos to those guys in hard hats!
