Isn't this a nice retirement home?  One of the things that Dallas Jones said that he and his wife have sunk their retirement money into this coaster because they really want to build up Beech Bend for their kids.  So if you happen to run into him please thank him for not just sacrificing his house on the beach for his kids but also so that we can have this fantastic coaster to ride.



Here is Jeff explaining how they build the bents on the ground before hoisting them individually into place.  According to their plan they have started out at the two far ends of the coaster and are working towards the middle which happens to be where the station is.  They have about eighty percent of the coasters structure done and expect to have all of the structure up by the end of November.



There's going to be some fun twists and turns on the Kentucky Rumbler.
