Or Zeus 2: Electric Boogaloo

KI would need 3 more B&Ms in order to have the numbers advantage over Six Flags Great Adventure which has 5 B&Ms currently (Batman, Nitro, Green Lantern, Bizzaro, and Superman). Not saying numbers are what determines the "Best B&M Park" though because three of Great Adventures B&Ms are clones. Also, there are 6 (5 if you don't count family coasters) parks other than KI that have 3 B&Ms(Alton Towers, BG Tampa, BG Williamsburg, Canada's Wonderland, Happy Valley Beijing, and SW Orlando), and there are 5 parks that have 4 B&Ms(Carowinds, CP, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Six Flags Over Georgia). Most of this info just came from Wikipedia which I hope is a credible source here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolliger_%26_Mabillard

From looking at the weatherbug this morning I don’t see Zeus... I wonder if he is getting moved or being broken down to be shipped away.

So I'm super curious with Orion's layout having that dip in the ground will they be able to move the cranes to the other side of that fully assembled or will they have to disassemble them to move them first? Also, I would imagine that they would only need two cranes going forward since that is all they used for Fury's construction. It will be interesting to see which one of the three cranes goes first.

If there is a time lapse of the lift going up eventually then I will totally forgive KI for taking down the cams. If there isn't then I will be sad, but it's not gonna keep me from riding this monster next year!

It was also designed by Alan Schilke and we all know what he has done with RMC Also I totally agree. Makes me wish that more of the arrow loopers were designed that way... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It seems that the cranes are getting into position to lift the last straight piece of the lift based on the weatherbug cam. If they start lifting it in the next hour then it maybe could be topped off today. If not, then I would be surprised (weather permitting) if it wasn't topped off by tomorrow.

It looks like it should stop raining in an hour or so. I would imagine they get some work done later today even if it's just staging more pieces for the top off.

Here is a local news article about the incident. Not a ton of details were given. https://wydaily.com/local-news/2019/10/24/worker-falls-while-working-at-busch-gardens-flown-to-sentara-in-norfolk/

Also with what happened during Pantheon's construction the other week where a worker got seriously injured.

Therefore Kings Island > Canada's Wonderland. That's just simple math

The angle of that pic makes it look like the drop just goes straight into the earth which is pretty sweet

I wonder how they are going to top it off since that is the last support. Will they attach the last pieces on the ground and then put it up all at once? Or will they put a few pieces up at a time?

Last time I rode it during Haunt I was in the front row and it was surprisingly smooth. I still really enjoy the ride and have to agree with @Fitzcoasts14 that the launch and last corkscrew are my favorite parts of the ride.

Definitely a pretty stagnant day on the weatherbug cam due to the rain and high winds, but hopefully with the more sunny weather tomorrow we will see that last large support finished and another piece of the drop placed!

I don't know if someone can get a good pic of the weatherbug camera, but it looks maybe another piece of the drop was placed? I can't tell super well because it looks like it's at the same angle as one of cranes.

I can't get a good pic because weatherbug is on my phone, but the next section of lift looks like it is going up!

I'm in full support of calling it White Castle

Sorry for the double post, but I just realized we have to name the third tall crane!

Seems like from the weather bug picture that Artemis disconnected from the big support so it definitely seems possible that the track piece could go up today.

I am using chrome, but the website doesn't seem to work at my workplace and the app only loads the first picture on my phone. It's all good though, people seem to be posting the good pics from it.

Man I really wish the weatherbug cam worked for me... those pics are sweet!

Just one more support for the drop after that one is up...

YOWZA! That's a big support. Looks like they might have that done by tomorrow.

Maybe I just worded my post incorrectly, but I was meaning to say that if they don't have wifi tomorrow then that would make sense with people saying they are doing system upgrades/maintenance.
