I checked the webcam, did ANYTHING happen today?

idk. probally out in the wods. :huh:

Whats a wod?

I can assume that nothing happend in the Swan Lake area because the crane hasn't moved an inch.

i mean woods <_<

^Yea I know just messin with ya.

ok. good or else i wont share my skyline with you tonight at my party. everybody is invited. starts at 9 at my trailer. my trailer is the bigger complex next to railriders. see you there. :P

Glad to see updates today didnt really get around to looking at the webcam yesterday but today it looks awesome.

Yea they put up that "A" support, which is just about as high as they can build with that crane. It's not new though, they installed it on Monday.

Are you talking about the little support they have right in front of the already built track?

yea that one was intalled a few days ago too.

I wonder when vertical construction will start in the woods?

^^Yep! BUT...I have seen plenty of people walking around all of the different/various sites, including seeing some trucks driving around the sites as well...I hope this is prep/planning stuff work for things to start really taking off even more soon!!

I have seen a couple of trucks go by in the back area of the woods, with many things on them. You think they might contain Track/Supports?

^^Not likely...track weighs thousands of pounds!! Now, contruction materials/supplies on the other hand?!?....

^Haha i can only imagine my 1999 S-10 hauling around a massive piece of B&M track. Talk about being weighed down in the back.

Yea that'd be hilarious.

So was anyone at KI tonight? If so if you could post some pics that'd be nice.

Is Kings Island open tonight or do you mean employees?

I mean, wait, It's Friday? darnet, I thought it was Saturday. :lol:

Yeah, I already made that mistake, too, because I didn't have school today (4 day weekend!!).

I don't have school monday, I just could've sworn It was Saturday!

Unfortunately it isn't because that just means one more day until Labor Day, which is when I am going to KI. Let's hope for shorter than 45 min on Adventure Express.

UPDATE!

Note: You Really Need to be Here to see how tall that is, it has to be at least 50-60 Feet High

Like I told You, Huge. When they Said Steep Incline Ahead they weren't joking.

Note: Almost all Lift Hill Supports are on Site. I would bet that's their goal for this week.

Wow! Awesome progress. The angle of the lift looks like it'll be really steep. This is great.

Great pictures, the semi holding some supports looks like a little toy truck.

Heh, it does look like a toy truck.

Yea you really have to be there to see how huge it really is, and because it was so big I doubt they would haul it all the way over from the Son of Beast just to let it sit there, I bet we're gonna see some serious construction soon.
