Well the grounds by the drop appear to have several supports built and red track stacked. Plus the drop off grounds have a good amount of both as well. Looks like we can expect some major installing soon.

So i see a semi doing a delivery to the drop zone off in the distant.
Why would they not drop parts closer down where there is a nice open field?
I can not tell but maybe it is a slope more than it looks or such.
But they drop there, then as needed have to go get it and haul to site.
Unlike the first half where they laid track/supports amongst the work area.
-
yep, but dont see any new track/supports. Guess they are working the with supports they have
-
i was not asking that they post a day by day schedule just approximate dates. But for Gatekeeper they did post a day by day schedule. Now not sure if they were on schedule but it gave us an idea of how they were thinking for the process. So relax, it will get done.

Yes, my view of the area from the cam shows very little track/supports on site. What is is the valley appears to be lower track and I think they are builiding those supports but not putting up. They are just waiting on more track/supports and thus no visible progress.
I am curious if there is a construction plan available like was for Gatekeeper with dates. That would show if they are on schedule or not.
My guess is that they are doing ok.
-
Any recent plant drivebys? that might help us out to see if they are waiting on a drop off

Yeah, trying to figure if clif2 is building stuff in the valley.
Kinda odd as they usually build in ride order.
ok, so did a image save and zoomed in.
see parts of a support and such and maybe they are doing a build and then lift and place on the drop.

So I now see Clifford2, the clone on site
-
I think baby Clifford is grown up now. Appears to be bending over to work today.

My first ride on The Beast the year it opened was with him in the front seat.
He told me to stick with him during the running of the bulls. Was a fantastic ride!

It appears they have installed all track/supports on site and are needing another big delivery.
Anyone been by the plant lately?

So they are doing work on the track already installed but why are the bucket trucks so far away from the track?
Looks odd that they had to extend the arm so far out when they could have moved the vehicle so much closer.

Well I agree B&M is smooth but my son and his girlfriend and my daughter rode Diamondback about a month ago and all complained about how rough it was. Very odd for B&M. Anyone else experienced it lately on that ride?

I have been on The Racer twice with deer inside the track area. Heading to the turn around and praying they would stay where they are or get out. Both times, they had evacuatred thank goodness...

Yeah, that is what I meant. It is good to be able to keep up with construction progress via the colored image where it is complete.
-
I'm hoping we still get the updated B&W with color for what track has been installed.

web cams down, conspiracy?? ha ha
ok, back up again. So looks like clifford is going to start helping out again as he is facing the the dive loop and the vertical loop.
Question: so why store some of the track pieces sooo far away? Even if they are for later parts, they will have to haul from there to other work area. Why not just drop off in the valley area?
-
So what coaster is that on the KI Halloween commercial?
-
looks like lots more blue supports arriving today. Would guess we shall see more assembly of track again soon.
-
So they have just about installed all the visible track on site. Wonder when the next big shippment will arrive? Cant wait to see the first loop around the lift go up.

Yes the old shoes are (were) at Kentucky Kingdom when were there years ago. I saw them and realized we had to relive old memories. I am not sure if they are still there however. They were in the back area of the park.
-
where will the lift hill motor building be located?
-
Well lots more blue supports arriving today. Would expect vertical contruction of those soon as not much space left to drop them :-)

It is impressive they are working three areas now. Station, lift hill and final approach.
I figured it would do like Gatekeeper and go from station thru the course flow and then finish at the brake run.

Banshee Construction Progress
in Kings Island
Posted
So it has been very quiet on the Banshee construction for a while.
Figure that they have off till end of year? Seems odd but possible.
