This view of the big drop is not so vertigo inducing as the last. Here you can see the train approaching the top of the hill behind, and you can get a good view of the blue support structure for the big drop. The shiny rails are 12V center track rails - they are 16 studs long and as stiff as 2 2x16 plates stuck together. The two sides of the structure are attached pony-ear to each other by 2x10 plates, stiffened midway by 2x4 plates. All that pony ear construction is very rigid - this support structure is probably the stiffest single unit of the whole monorail (with the exception of the sold blue brick tower which supports the up ramp half way).
