Nope, I have been nervous all week from not seeing any crane activity.

Yeah, can't make out what that is. Maybe it is the device that they are going to use to attach the steel pieces of WS onto the crane for setting in place? I could be totally wrong here, just speculating.

I am guessing the ride experience was fine, but I wonder if the track was wearing out parts on the trains to quickly?

Awesome you got such a good video of the transfer! Thanks for sharing. IndyGuy would would love to be at KI waiting on the train to be transferred to the track so he could ride it!

Here ya go! http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/fun/webcams/index.cfm

It looks link anchors for hand railing and queue lines are being attached to the concrete now. I saw some hand railing earlier but not on the cam now! EDIT: There is railing on the cam right now. Who knows for how long though?

I have seen several news articles now that have the following quote as a description for WS in their article. Is "twirl them around" the best description they could come up with for WS? This sounds more like a carnival ride. As a writer of the story I would think "Spinning riders at 30 mph, at a 45 degrees angle" would be more exciting and appropriate to get people excited about your story.

I can not get over how fast they can pour concrete!

Either way it is going to be crowded at the end of CM this season!

Discussion for WS crane started yesterday in the WS thread. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23358&view=findpost&p=419283

I am guessing this will be the last concrete pour needed for WS?

Then that means you are not changing your habit!

With the addition of WS, I was wondering if you plan on changing your ride habits on Racer. I chose No - I choose whichever has the shortest line

I have heard some people like Pinto Beans as well! Back on Topic: I still do no think it has anything to do with SOB or about anything new in 2012.

Yes. Only rode it twice, Best Ride EVER It was good when it had the 100 ft tall loop on it I didn't get to ride it with the loop in it I absolutely love the first drop, it really is the best first drop of any wooden coaster that I have ever ridden. The original trains I think rode better than the G trains, although I think I liked the G trains retraints better than the original. I did not like how they restricted your feet.

A big Amen to that buddy!

Check out the webcam! It looks like a crane is now peeking out from behind the rest rooms! http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/fun/webcams/index.cfm

I tend to agree. It may be off by a few minutes, but heck even most live radio and tv stations have a intentionally built in 30 second delay to bleep out accidental slips of curse words.

Oh sorry, I never saw that. I stand corrected if that is the case!

I wonder if the instruction manual is in about 4 different languages like some are you get at the store? At lest this is a short wait compared to what it could be!

If I was a betting man I would put my money on WS parts being in that container. Motors, mechanical and electrical equipment, etc. Just think of the bag of pieces you get when you buy a product that says "some assembly required." In the case of WS, it is full assembly required.

I assumed it was a control room, either way I hope it does not block the view from the midway to much.

Why of course! See this thread. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23033&view=getnewpost

The teaser video, The homepage of there site, The pics. Its Hyped up. I just hope its not lame, but if it is we still have WindSeeker. I think they were planning on making an announcement about this either way. So the website banner and wallpaper change I would not call a big hype, but necessary to inform people of the announcement. Not one person has posted a link to a local media source that has ran the story about this announcement. I see nothing in their press release section of the website, so I don't know that any local radio or TV station has even ran a story on this yet. The way I see it, the only big hype that has been generated thus far has been on KIC! EDIT: I assume there will be press coverage on Friday for the announcement!

I could be wrong, but none of the clues or Don's video remotely make me think SOB.
