fyrfyter 1114 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I know the outriggers on our aerial truck on my department spread out 20’, and our Bronto is 114’ tall. I hate to see what their spread is. I only know of one local department with a Bronto. Yes, 20 is a lot, but when you have unlimited concrete space, I suppose 20 isn’t much. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ohiocoasterfan 1634 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Based on those photos it looks like they are staging the next lift hill supports. It will be interesting to see how they install this as it will be multiple support pieces bolted together. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

You'd think since it's a new coaster it would have at least a small line but nope, people are so ungrateful for what KI does for us smh. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it says the KI engineers said they think the coaster could hit 92 or maybe 93 mph. That would be awesome if that is the case. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Going to the trouble of painting those buildings is something that most people won't even notice but the attention to detail shows that the current management really finds ways to plus the area and the park overall. 11 Link to post Share on other sites
JonahWilliamson 1609 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I need to update the color diagram for Orion to add the bottom of the drop!

I use a Canon 1DX Mark 2 at work! Its real nice but it pays itself off so it makes sense to buy for work... dont take roller coaster pics on it... ahhhh too late 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites
flightoffear1996 4152 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I like that they painted them but I think they should have been removed and rebuilt elsewhere. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
