It's interesting how all the track joins occur at columns and they are just butting segments up to each other.

I never even noticed that, that is very interesting. Does seem like they will be bolted together at the bottom though. RMC Raptors track pieces are connected by a large bottom plate, a smaller top plate and two bolts, one on either side of the track towards the bottom.

Construction is going well on Big Dipper and one of the larger elements has started to go up.

Just absolutely mad for it to be built so close to existing apartments. Amazed they got planning permission for a new thrill coaster, even if the park itself has existed long before the apartments were built.

That's actually a commercial building.

That element doesn’t look real.

Edited my original post with a new, better image.

I really want them to add that last piece of track before construction halts, purely out of satisfaction.

 

[cocoa]

[Niles]

The top of this section is done.

The train will look great going through this element from here when its up and running.

NGL whenever I see the Imellmann I think of that Interpark model that pulls 6g

I especially like the fencing that somehow makes "Loop" seem like a nasty word.

[Gazza]

Sorry but the standard trains make it look like a kids coaster
