CoastersRZ 5174 Report post Posted December 24, 2018 Here is an article from the Cincinnati Business Courier discussing the contractor building the Antique Car Buildings: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2018/12/19/cincinnati-contractor-helps-bring-antique-cars.html The article mentions TRA Design as the architect, Cole Engineering Solutions as the structural engineer and SHP as the mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineer on the project. Here is a link to the TRA Design website. And some of their recent entertainment related projects. It must be really cool to work at that firm and to be able to work on some of those projects. http://tra-design.net/team/ 5 Imperial79, Shawn Meyer, TombRaiderFTW and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gforce1994 1713 Report post Posted December 28, 2018 It looks like someone already made a mock up of the ride.

Interesting how they’re using joists to connect the roof girders. I’m curious if that is being done on initial assembly, or when all the frames are in place for final assembly. 1 Shawn Meyer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imperial79 1789 Report post Posted December 28, 2018 ^Yeah it is. I wonder if our cars are going to have cover tops on them like the old ones did, or they will be like what Valleyfair has? The advertisement where you can ‘pretend’ to be riding in one, shows our cars will have a top on them. 1 Shawn Meyer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JubJester 4430 Report post Posted January 9 14 hours ago, gforce1994 said: So #whatsintheshed? I noticed that, too. I wondered if it was being built for storage, but noticed they had entrances on both sides. It will be interesting to see what's in it. I'm wondering if there may be teasers insides when the ride opens. Maybe a reference to Mystic Timbers and now maybe even Copperhead Strike. Would be neat if they referenced every ride that has a tunnel or indoor section. Edit: It's the covered bridge. 1 Shawn Meyer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
