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!

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

Banshee Construction Progress
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.

Banshee Construction Progress
I'm hoping we still get the updated B&W with color for what track has been installed.

Banshee Construction Progress
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?

Coaster in the KI Halloween Ad
So what coaster is that on the KI Halloween commercial?

Banshee Construction Progress
looks like lots more blue supports arriving today. Would guess we shall see more assembly of track again soon.
-
Banshee Construction Progress
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?
-
Banshee Construction Progress
Well lots more blue supports arriving today. Would expect vertical contruction of those soon as not much space left to drop them :-)
-
Banshee Construction Progress
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.

Would 'Amusement Dark' have to do with anything CP might be announcing? Heard their are rumors of a new dark ride.

Bavarian Beetle
Just curious (shaggy lives near by), are the old shoes from KI still on the Kentucky Kingdom property? We rode those on Easter many years ago when KK was still in operation. Actually rode most rides there. Not a big fan of T2 and hoping the sisters get a good makeover.

And the first to report what they find is......

And since we see no other work/clearing beyond the area behind AE (the valley), do we assume that is as far out as this ride will go?

Starting to Decode 2014
so all you ride builders, what are those new large footers near the fence for?

Were these possibly just light poles for highway lights or such? Sounds more like that than supports for a ride.

Where is our aerial picture person? Some one needs to do a flyover so we can map out the footers. - Starting to Decode 2014
