<p>Leviathan&#8217;s 306 foot lift hill has been crowned this week, and it looks beautiful.  The new style large spine hill looks eerily under-supported and should add to the thrill of the ride.  The next element also looks like it will have a lot of forces and we can&#8217;t wait to see the rest of the ride go up.  Check out all the photos from <a href="http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=38407&amp;start=3400#p1112996" target="_blank">PCW_Nut at the ThemeParkReview </a>forum.</p>

<p>Keystone Thrills has a new <a href="http://keystonethrills.wordpress.com/2011/11/05/hersheypark-skyrush-construction-update-50-first-vertical-construction-11-4-11/">Skyrush construction update</a> up that shows off the first support to go vertical.  It is the lift motor support, so it only sort of counts, but the crane is on site and full vertical construction should start shortly.  Given the footer completion status I would expect the track to go up relatively quickly as we&#8217;ve seen with <a title="Wild Eagle Construction Update" href="http://www.coasternews.net/2011/10/30/wild-eagle-construction-update/">Wild Eagle</a> this year.</p>
