Beast1979 Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Here you can see the huge crane, the supports behind the crypt, and a the shadow of a possible new support?
Beast1979 Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Well we now know why they bludozed that area:
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 So no one wants to give me updates, so I have to sit here and watch the webcam myself? Besides, a lot happened today! There is a huge crane sitting in the Rivertown midway, doing who knows what, there is a crane lifting supports in the woods, and they moved the transfer track piece over again!
standbyme Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Just thought this showed some interesting activity.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 ^Great Find. I bet if they showed us The Beast entrance plaza we would see some significant work there.
Phantom Theater Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Just thought this showed some interesting activity. What is that big red thing? On the back of the flat bed.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I would assume that that is for transporting track or Supports.
tycoonrebel7188 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I would venture to say that is part of the gigantic crane that is going to be used to install the tall supports of the lift.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 That is one of them, there is another sitting in the former swan lake area. You can tell they are designed for heavy lifting so I would assume they are getting ready for some serious vertical construction.
Fear the Offseason Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 ^I also saw that. I just can't seem to think of what it might be. I wish they could change the web cam so we could see it! EDIT: actually i think it is part of the huge crane they are going to use. They have brought in about 3 different pieces.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I missed it, it had a wide view with the crane fully erect towering over the midway.
masonguy21 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I think this is the picture you want. Looks like lots of stuff has been happening out of our veiw lately.
Phantom Theater Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Well,the big red thing was just lifted off the trailer.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 It looks like they are installing supports
Phantom Theater Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 ...and what are we looking for there? I think theirs a crane,and theirs yellow supports set up.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 ^The little Yellow support next to the Train Tracks. Wait, Yellow? I think someone isn't telling us something. By the way, it looks like the crane is done in the ravine. it has more important stuff to do in the hammerhead turn area.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 yea I've noticed that a lot of the supports and track are being transported back there. Don't quote me on this, but i bet thats their temporary storage area. Like Behind Firehawk and Son of Beast was the staging area, the hammerhead turn area is where they are putting it right before they install it. Like what you can see at Swan Lake right Now.
Phantom Theater Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 If you look in the top right corner you can see the yellow support.Also,thats one big crane their putting together.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Nice Hunting, Paul. Yep, it looks like they are installing supports around the Crypt. Don't be shocked if that area is blocked off 3 weeks from now!
masonguy21 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 What are they going to do with this huge crane while people are there this weekend?
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 ^That's the thing, Kings Island is closed this weekend and next for private events. So I bet they are grabbing the opertunity to do heavy path work. Also, you can see they are blocking that area off.
masonguy21 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah thats what I'm saying. What are they doing with the heavy machinery while private events are going on? They wouldn't just expect people to make detours around it would they, or do you think those hosting the events only rented out part of the park, that not including the rivertown area.
Beast1979 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I don't know but from the size and location and COST of that crane I can tell you it ain't going anywhere till it's job is finished.
Guest TombraiderTy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 ^Yeah, that's the area where the highest track will be. It's definitely going to stay there for a while.
