Wow! 2 guys are ascending the first lift hill for some kind of inspection/track work. That must be cold on a day like today.

Will the ACE walkback include Diamondback as an option?

Yeah and I just noticed that Clifford is on the prowl again. They have it behind Crypt and I would guess getting ready to work drop #2.

Happened to be watching at the same time. Did they carry it under the track or around on the path I wonder?

very quiet day on the site

My guess is that piece in between is an adjuster piece. Just in case the track did not meet up they can fenagle it with that attachment piece.

I believe I have seen more than one smaller crane.

no, saw it moving around earlier this morning. Also seem to note that there are 2 smaller white cranes out there. One in the back and one where they have been working.

My daughter was at KI Sunday afternoon when the storm hit. They were on BLSC when they heard the crash of a tree going down. After that the park was closed for the day. Anyone have any news/pics of this or know of any other damage the park may have sustained?

Anyone have a picture of the station for Behemoth? Curious how steep the incline out of the station for that riide is.

Agree, this baby will go up fast. Those steel workers know the magic and it does not appear to be a very difficult build. Just wanting to see good vertical work being done.

From watching the cam, I would say they are still doing work on footer/footings and such. They are also working the final brake run/station area. Where is all the track? Still at the plant or still being made? When will we see tons of track on site? When will the steel guys come in and bang this baby out?

As far as track color see rcdb.com: http://www.rcdb.com/ig72.htm Purple then blue

As an earlier poster stated, how about a picture. Since your manager does not care it should be ok, right. Have you opened a box and physically looked at the shirts and seen both sides. Maybe it is a kiddie type shirt as someone else mentioned. We need a little more proof.....

Can you post a new itinerary? And make sure it includes the 2009 walkback and the Scavenger Hunt.

Did anyone read on Screamscape about a possible renaming of the Fairly Odd Coaster to GrandSon of Beast?

any pictures?

Well that area on the platform of The Beast (little box area) used to be the DJ area back in the 80's. So with the retro thing in play, why not bring it back for the night time runs?

Wow. I would have to say the First Drop article is almost right on still. Even the talk about the terrain and the valleys used for the first drops. Would put lots of money on that reliable source.

Went to Coastermania this year and the belt issue was a non-issue. I have had troubles in past but not this year. They would even help out on MF and TTD which they would not do in past. And the issue of the orange seciton that must be showing seemed to be gone as well. It was click, slight pull, bar down and go.

Anyone know if KI would consider starting a new area of the park? Open up some land in the old safari area or is that area off limits? It would be nice to see them expand a little bit. As I have said in past, I would love to see a Lost KI area like the Lost Kennywood area. Put in some regened flats from the past and such.......

When do you think they will arrive and do setup and testing and such? I imagine that they will be setting up days in advance, especially if they are putting up grandstands and such.

The big question is where will this jump be done. Is it going to be done (my assumption) in the parking lot like his dad did. And if so, imagine how much of the parking lot will be used up just for this event. The parking situation is hopfully being addressed for this. I would like to see this. Does anyone know what time it might be done? Has KI or the Kenevil camp released any info?

Yeah, I was getting riffed for complaining here too. I did email KI and amazingly got a response back that same day from Don. I really wish they would let gold/handicap parking just shoot to the right and go the 50 feet to the spots not 500 feet and create more havok. Here is his response.

BTW, I have contacted KI guest relations about this and offered suggestions with my complaints..... :-)
