We're going to need a taller crane!

Actually, one is on the way.

Because that lifthill is mighty tall.

Here's a look from Highway 162, to the north of the site.



See, there's the "Welcome to Santa Claus" sign on the right, then the Yellig Park sign.

Off in the distance, in the middle, is The Legend.

Look slightly to the right of The Legend and you'll see The Voyage, well above the tree tops.

I took this shot from our Employee Parking lot.

It's actually rather startling to look over and see the structure up so high.

Will tells me it won't be long before the crews "top off" the big hill.

We'll have to plan a little something special that day, as it's a milestone in the construction of any coaster. (Brandon wants cake. He never fails to ask for cake when we have something to celebrate. He has a miracle metabolism and can get away with consuming multiple large pieces, the bum.)

This next photo is from over toward Holidog's FunTown.



That's the Employee Parking Lot again in the foreground.

And finally, the foundations are still being poured elsewhere on the coaster.

Take a look at the first photo in this HoliBlog post from back in July.

This is what it looks like now:



We'll keep you posted about the "topping off" ceremony, as you may want to join us via our webcam.

...and you'll want to be sure to have plenty of celebratory cake on hand.
