I went earlier today....but, sorry, I forgot my camera :(... so no pictures... but I saw that they are starting to dig up the asphalt in the parking lot near the South Gate where the turnaround is going to be. There are huge piles of the stuff over there... and there seems to be more trailers in the construction area now than there was in the last photo update I saw.
So, take it for what you will, but I think supports and track are going to be showing up earlier than most people think..... :shock:

No point in arguing back dude, your not gonna win I learned that a while back.

Are they going to put the station for the new coaster in Nick Central? That'll be out of place but then again KD did it with Dominator.

^ yeah, and I guess that area is a little controversial as to whether you are in Nick Central or still in the North Gate port of entry....I wouldn't say you are though because there isn't extensive Nick theming until you get further down the road....I'm going again later today and I won't forget my camera this time, so maybe a picture update this evening... :)

I am taking a break from my afternoon studies to go get some photos of the parking lot as well. They should be up by 4 or 5 o'clock.

This post is an exercise in innuendo. Got it?

Might I suggest a litte "wakka chikka" for mood?

Let's get it on!

The money shot.

Going down.

Getting on top.

From behind.

There's glory behind these holes.

They've almost got this licked.

So dirty...

Image
Melts in your mouth......

Totally bare.

Get on your boots.

Image
Pole.

Good place to get some cream.

Lots of bumping and grinding.

Hot and wet.

Image
Thought I'd whip this one out.

Image
Packing a lot of wood.

Image
Sometimes this happens.

I'll leave it to someone else to post parking lot pictures. Even though this one is quite interesting, I was too "intimidated" by the FUZZ.

Nice shots Wormy, I've got some parking lot photos to add.

Below you will find a link to photos I took of the parking lot this afternoon.

To clear a few things up, they are NOT tearing up the parking lot yet. They did do a small repair job just outside of the fenced area near the South Gate, which explains the small pile of asphalt that sits just inside the fence. Also, there is some asphalt being torn up, but that is just from the dump trucks/heavy equipment going in and out of the job site.

You will notice in the photos a nice gentleman let me take his photo while he was surveying the parking lot and marking/re-marking footer locations in bright orange paint. The dump trucks continued to move dirt off site, and in quite a hurried fashion. While I was there only twenty minutes or so, several dump truck loads of dirt were hauled off.

They did have the entire back section of the parking lot closed off with orange cones, which are also in the photos, although I am assuming they do this only during the week when there are less guests. Other than that, not much else to report from the parking lot at this point.

Here is a link to the photos: http://s716.photobucket.com/albums/ww170/charlotteguy02/Construction/

[MOD EDIT: I put your pictures in your post so you could be given proper credit, FSUNolez06's post was deleted, I want to thank him for trying to be helpful though :D ]
