Vortex Is Leaving After This Fall Season
CedarIslander replied to THE_BEASTmaster's topic in Kings Island
I would LOVE to see something like this done with Vortex! He will certainly be missed! Despite its roughness, it remains one my favorite coasters in the park. RIP, ol' boy. -
Looks like a lot of activity happening on the ground... buy I can't make out what they're doing.
-
I get the feeling that they're done for the day... waiting to raise the track tomorrow morning, maybe?
-
Yeah, I've already had several co-workers tell me that watching a construction cam is like watching paint dry. It takes a very special breed, and by special I mean awesome, to do what we do!
-
What would really be neat, is if the construction crew had cameras mounted on their helmets, so we could get a up close and personal look at the making of a coaster!

I remember in 1999, seeing an artists drawing of Millennium Force, and how it made Mantis look like a kiddie coaster in comparison. I was in awe! And my brother looked at me and said "welcome to the future of roller coaster design!" 20 years later, he wasn't wrong. Source: https://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com

T-Bone and Theo are up and at it early this morning!
-
I watched that as well! I was thinking to myself, "that's one way to do it!"
-
That is what I was referring to, thank you!

No. Behind the transfer shed. I can't figure out how to screenshot on this computer... I'm dumb.
-
Am I seeing things, or is there another support in place for the brake run, right behind the transfer shed??
-
It shouldn't. It'll be connected to the track before it, and to a footer.
-
I'm surprised they started on the base of the lift hill before doing the brake run. But I'll take it!
-
I've got 4 monitors at work. And one is dedicated to the construction cam, despite the annoyance from my boss! So exciting!
-
The wife and I are going away for a long weekend, and I won't have access to the cam til Monday. Hoping to see a few more supports and track in place come Monday morning!
-
NOOOOO! I was really hoping that little lonely tree would make it.
-
Bright and early, just how I like it!
-
Awesome! Thanks for those figures!
-
I've been trying to calculate how tall the start of the break run is... from what I could figure out, the breakrun itself may be taller than The Racers' lift hill. Between 90 and 100 feet? Am I way off?
-
But Millennium Force isn't 312 feet. lol
-
Hmmm... I don't know. Can someone try PMing me the photos, see if I can get them that way?
