Not sure why you are so concerned about this. He hasn’t done anything illegal. He seems to have a legit photography business and this was likely to get clicks to it. I wouldn’t personally do it because I don’t have a drone or drone license but he’s free to do what he wants legally. Just don’t post it on KIC.

I wonder how they would go about banning you? It’s not like you would have to give an ID if they caught you doing it from off site as it’s not illegal. Would they have a wanted poster in every ticket booth? I wondered this to when the young ladies were thrown out for flashing at the World Series game and subsequently banned from all stadiums. Seems like a very empty threat.

Yes and it looks the same as it did from ET a week and a half ago. It’s sad that the best views of this coaster construction are from Great Wolf Lodge by enthusiasts that care enough about this coaster to keep us updated. Huge let down

That’s a pic we’ve had for over a week. I wish they would at least post something we should be able to see on the webcams but can’t. I may be in the minority but I sure miss when Don Helbig was in charge of PR. I feel things have gone downhill since Chad took over.

I’m not sure how Wildgravitytravels got this pic but it looks like we have drop backbone and second lift hill support and track in place.

As annoying as the great webcam blackout of 2019 has been, I must say work has been much more productive so far this week.

Of course the moment we have all been waiting for begins the day the webcams go down. How long does it take to do a “software update”? It’s been almost 24 hours since they went down.

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.

That is not correct. 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.

Some good closeups from WildGravityTravels update yesterday. The one photo has what appear to be the roof trusses and the yellow thing I predict to be the basket for the workers to bolt the pieces together.

Looks like Artemis is almost complete. They have reached the road. I would think he’ll be up and moving this afternoon.

How far of a drop would the top of the drop drop if the top of the drop did drop?

Yes. I just checked the cams for the first time and I was wondering how Zeus got on the other side of Artemis. They have all the other pieces already delivered on the other side of Artemis boom by the first large lift support. I watched them deliver and store this yesterday. I don’t think Zeus could reach the far areas without moving to its current spot.

@sixohdieselrage What post are you referring to? I just checked all their social sites and couldn’t find anything for today.

That crane is coming along quickly. If all pieces are on site we might see it completed today.

Looks like they are connecting the first boom piece to Artemis. Should come together quickly after this.

I think they will assemble the 4th one on the other side of the ravine at a later date. They should be able to assemble the lift hill with Artemis Zeus and the white one currently in the parking lot.

Another brake run support is up. I don’t think they can go much further with the brake run until the is built after this piece. I definitely see a bunch of new crane parts being moved in. There’s 4 or 5 pieces stacked by the next lift hill piece.

Zeus looks like it’s over top of the backbone now.

How about this. Instead of coming to the forum and looking for updates on the construction of this coaster, maybe look at the webcam and see what it looks like? I think this would solve your “problems”. I personally am amazed at how that tiny little vehicle can lift all that weight in the air.

We’ve been waiting for Zeus to get built because that means the lift hill and layout will start getting put up quickly. With Zeus up we will have the lift hill complete by early November. It’s about to get exciting with daily progress

darnit Zeus you’re blocking the road!!! [emoji35](angrily shakes fist)

It looks like they have begun to string the lift cable between the pulleys and along the length of the crane boom.

Looks like we got some work going on this morning. Hopefully more brake run supports and track go up today!

I’m sure there’s a plan. Just odd to have that crane sit there knowing how expensive they are per day. Also looks like there is another support on the ground for the brake run after they install this track piece.
