If I would have said that, I'd have been insulted and told to let people have their fantasies.
Like others have said, that's just a baby crane. Thats the one to unload track off trucks and build the real cranes.
25 ft is a lot higher when you are standing on top looking to jump. I did a similar jump at Blue Hole in Jamaica and it gets your heart pounding. Not too many people would jump from higher than that I don't think.
That being said, I am surprised they are adding this. It's only a matter of time till someone who thinks they are a bad a.. tries some stupid flip and lands on his neck. I love that they added it and would like one at KI, I just don't know if it'll work in a theme park environment.
2014 got to 459.
Of course that one had the joy of people looking at footers that were clearly for a B&M Inverted insisting they were for an Intamin Giga. That had to be worth an extra 60 pages of denial.
I'd bet against track being installed friday. Even if they get it to the site Friday, they still have to get cranes on site and assembled. Maybe next week they will start, but it may be longer than that.
In the video with Chad, it said it looked like someone tried to put it through a shredder.
They didn't start vertical construction until the end of September though. This should start a month earlier than that, so an early November topping off is possible. Possibly even before the end of haunt.
