IndyGuy4KI 14178 Posted October 21, 2019 I think @King Ding Dong was being sarcastic. We can use our imagination for a few hours and guess what got done without seeing the cam. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFloppyDisc 364 Posted October 21, 2019 I would imagine since the brake run is pretty much done that they will probably get the supports ready to put in place for the next section of the lift. They also might place some more of the drop since they moved those pieces over on Friday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBN 150 Posted October 21, 2019 It didn't look like the big white crane was complete over the weekend, so I'm guessing they wont be installing much lift tack or supports until that's done, guessing that will probably be today hopefully 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah probably more like Nintendo’s standard note with each system update: Quote Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience On another note has anyone here tried Google Earth in VR? It really is fascinating being able to fly around a park and look at stuff in 3D from whatever perspective you want. It really would be incredible if in the future the park could set up a camera system with a live VR feed of a coaster construction. Possibly could even be technically accomplished now on some level with a few stand-off drones hovering a safe distance away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovinMeSomeBanshee 3705 Posted October 21, 2019 They still have another big crane to assemble before they complete the lift hill. There will be two big cranes holding/lifting track and one crane holding the basket of workers. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishleehooker 279 Posted October 21, 2019 LOvinMe is right. Wonder what they will get done while the cranes are being built? I suspect basically any area that will need crane use. I guess I am wondering most when they also start on other areas of the coaster. Either way we are getting much closer to the good stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There will only be the two large cranes currently assembled. The large white one in the parking lot will be used to bring up the coaster workers to bolt the pieces together. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LovinMeSomeBanshee 3705 Posted October 21, 2019 Is the white truck crane in the parking lot even tall enough to reach that high? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiocoasterfan 1613 Posted October 21, 2019 Don't forget to credit your source even if its yourself!This is from page 81 on this thread. The crane in the parking lot is much larger than Cleo and friends. I drove by when Cleo was in the parking lot and it is noticeably larger. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that the crane in the parking lot is this model or something very similar. https://www.sterettcrane.com/pdf/Truck Cranes/Sterett-LTM-1500-164ft.pdf It does seem that a larger boom can be added to this crane to increase its height so that is what may be done to get it up to ~300 feet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes when there is the slightest chance of risk they will close the webcams down if anything could go wrong it will mentality. In this case putting the crane together, or maybe bringing something into the sight they dont want us to see.. or simply they might actually be updating 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishleehooker 279 Posted October 21, 2019 Off topic...I agree about Cedar Point, but don't think it will be completely wrecked. I'm sure I'll make it up 2 or 3 times. I guess that third or more trip depends on how long the waits were on the other trips. So have we confirmed the crane in the lot is tall enough? I didn't think it was, but wasn't quite sure how many times that can extend or whatnot. If it is..then they are indeed very close. I suspect they do some cam stuff of the construction, so even if live stuff is down, we should be able to see some stuff down the line of it. I'd love to see it in real time but understand the danger involved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
