RailBlazer Going Up Fast at California's Great America

It's a snowy Saturday in the Northeast, which is a perfect kinda day to check out webcams of roller coaster construction on the sunny West coast.  Checking in on RailBlazer at California's Great America, I loaded the webcam and saw the view above - the ride has gotten very tall very fast!  In fact, those supports on the far right will be the tallest on the ride, supporting the very top of the lift hill.

The theme park also recently shared a much closer view of the supports that have been installed, seen here.  The lift hill will travel up on the right side of the photo, complete a 180 degree turn, then plunge down on the left.  You can see a support for the first drop that will have it banked steeply toward the ground, it will hit a full 90 degrees on the plunge.

Just as the construction week came to a close, California's Great America hit another milestone when the first piece of single rail track was installed.  Located on a turnaround under the lift near the end of the ride, you can see the bright orange color the park is using to accent the beige supports.  Stay tuned to the park's webcam and social feeds for more updates as RailBalzer goes up!
