You noticed that window in the Red Trailer then that tells me that is a Construction Trailer that also serves as a place to store tools. I doudt you will find anything for the coaster in there except some tools and that stuff. It looks like many I have saw at other sites when construction is taking place.

Thanks to you and everyone else who has been taking pics.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the window. I agree it is probably a construction trailer with tools in it.

It's been fun to take the pictures. Much more to come! Thank you all for being so nice on this forum.

Sounds like you are correct coasterdave. I talked to a good friend of mine who is a construction worker and he said construction trailers like the red one you see on site are used to store construction tools so they don't get stolen or rusted out due to weather conditions.

That pic made me LOL, but i wouldn't mind if it looked like that, just a bit more 'polished'.

I'm also uber excited about the KD coaster too. I live in Durham, and both parks are about 3 hours away.

Thanks for the pic and the ones to come. I've been waiting for new looks at the track for a while. And hopefully that isn't photoshopped. :D

Here's my update, no, no track yet.

Image
The concrete boxes have been moved and there is new work going on.

Image
This shot brought to you by Carolina Skytower.

Image
Something new...

Image
The boxes are over on the right now.

Image
Hello Digger Dan.

Image
Rebar is going in.

Image
I never noticed these markers in the middle of those trees over near the picnic tables.

Image
To give you a better idea.

Image
Dig baby dig.

Image
Now for snooping in the parking lot.

Image
My drill is bigger than your drill.

Image
Guys are prepping the rebar.

Image
More rebar.

Image
And the mysterious red box just turns out to be a supply box, no track inside :(.

Image
Nothing else is happening down here.

Image
A piece of rebar heads into the park.

Image
More pink flowers I never noticed.

And that's about it for now...

Excuse me, I'm new to the whole watching a coaster 'construction' thing. What is "rebar" and what is the purpose? Something for supports?
