The article says it will be up by the first week of November. There’s probably a weeks worth of work just to put the crane together.8 minutes ago, Hawaiian Coasters 325 said:I believe what they meant was that they hope to have the lift topped off by the first week of November. It takes a while to get to that point because they connect both the lift and drop together.
Ahhh, touche. Thanks, guys!

I'm still gonna call him Clifford, because my boss's name is Ronald... and I don't like the idea of my boss building Orion. Nope.

it is hard to see from the webcam because of all the buildings in the way, but it looks like they have a significant amount of track together and laying on the ground getting ready for Clifford to raise up
They do indeed. But they've gotta put supports up first!

I would love to see them add a couple more cameras. They could move the Mystic one to show elsewhere in the park.
yeah, the Mystic cam is worthless, IMO. It does nothing to peak an interest.

^^ I would like to see this happen live! Speaking of live. On the Diamondback cam you can see Vortex a little bit. Think they will leave it when they rip Vortex down? Sorry for going off topic lol
Personally, I'd like to see them move that camera to the left a little so we can watch the demolition. Demoing coasters fascinates me just as much as constructing coasters. lol

Whatever Cleo is doing, it's obscured by that building. Not fair!

Some have the top of the hill above, even with and below the horizon with this camera angle. What's your guess? GO!
Based off my calculations, it should peak over the horizon slightly. @Hawaiian Coasters 325's drawing seems about spot on.

Question on assembly, When they bolt two pieces of track together, do they weld the smaller tubes together that the wheels roll on and then grind them down? Are they male and female and slip together? Never thought about that before but I am assuming that with them painted all ready, they are not welding them? If not welded, how do they keep water from getting inside? Would love to know the more specific details of how things go together
I've wondered this myself. I've even tried googling it, but couldn't find an answer. Hope someone here can fill us in!

One of the benefits of waking up early is I got to see someone with a flashlight walking up Racers lift hill! Sounds lame, but I was fascinated. lol

I just want KI's version of Maverick or Steel Vengeance! Even though it's unlikely CF will work with Intamin again.
I keep hearing this. What happened between CF and Intamin?

Has anyone seen any activity on the site this morning? It looks like they might be taking a full weekend off for the first time in weeks.
I saw a couple white pick-up trucks driving through the site a few minutes ago, but they were headed down towards the other end.

The catwalk comes in sections, if they put up another section there would be nothing to support it.
Makes sense. Thank you!

From the Flight of Fear/CHAOS queue area:
This thing is massive!!!
Awesome pic! But I have a stupid question... why didn't they extend the cat walk to the end of that last track piece?

Same day. Also the same time they announced Firehawk was leaving.
Am I the only one that reads this as "We are not dismantling Vortex!" This, to me, seems more like a Mantis situation. Maybe some track improvements, new trains, new name. etc.
Disregard this post. I'm clearly an idiot.

I mentioned yesterday that I love seeing fog around Orion, but this is not okay. lol
