FOFreak Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Any signifigant constuction today? It doesn't look any different than last night.
firehawkboy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Nope. I've been checking it out all morning, and the only thing I see being worked on is the station.
firehawkboy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yeah really. I'm interested in seeing what it will look like. I'm guessing something like Maverick's station.
Beast1979 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Tons and Tons of Stuff going on near the Station:
Jasper Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I am anxious to see the trains even though i doubt they will be on there for quite some time.
Beast1979 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I am anxious to see the trains even though i doubt they will be on there for quite some time. *idea lightbulb* Wouldn't that be cool if on KICentral 3rd Coming we could be the first to sit in the trains?
Beast1979 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Looks Like the crane has to move back to install anymore supports.
G-Force Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Did anybody else see a crane going up on the left side of storage area on the web cam?
RailRider Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I am anxious to see the trains even though i doubt they will be on there for quite some time. The trains are on site, didnt you see the thread under the Kings Island section? Video and all

RailRider Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 You must have a sense of humor and admit it you clicked the link when it went up???
Beast1979 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 You must have a sense of humor and admit it you clicked the link when it went up??? Yea I got Rick Rolled. You guys it was funny for a while but it got real old real fast.
RailRider Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks for the new train video See now that is funny also.
standbyme Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Who knows what they're picking up? Answer:The crane operator.
The Interpreter Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 ^^ Probably the big huge lift supports! But can a big huge lift support know anything? If it can be sentient, then I suppose it knows if it is being picked up or not. And will sense as each trainload of giddy parkgoers rolls across the track the support...uh....supports? Terpy, who just HAD to
Aaron Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Pretty close to verticle, 74 degrees. I think they over dramatize it a little bit in the renderings. Nothing is dramatized in the renderings. Keith McVeen (who produced the renderings for KI) creates them directly from the CAD models the manufacturers supply the parks with. There is no 'guessing' or human estimation in the renderings, they are all replicated to the manufacturer's spec.
G-Force Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 ^Huh, 74 degrees must just be steeper than I thought it was!
coolhandluke Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 74 would (obviously) be between the 70 & 80 lines. I tried to draw it in and post that up but that didn't work out so well. So you'll just have to use your imagination. Hope that helps a bit.
Beast1979 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 There is a wierd blue arm doing stuff in the Station area and Clifford is picking up yet another Yellow Lift Support!
Rollercoast19 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I believe that blue arm is part of a concrete pump. You can see the concrete truck nearby.
tigellinus Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 74 would (obviously) be between the 70 & 80 lines. I tried to draw it in and post that up but that didn't work out so well. So you'll just have to use your imagination. Hope that helps a bit. Like seeing an angel's face!!! Btw, and obviously the jury is still out until construction is finished, but the one thing to consider in the whole angle degree situation is length. Couldn't it be true (with respect to the renderings) that D-back's 74 degree drop could be actually at 74 degrees for a longer length than B-moth's is?? Obviously the entire 220' drop is not all at 74 degrees, but if D-back was at 74 degrees for 125 feet and Behemoth is only at 75 degrees for 85 feet, then that would be significant!! Especially given that D-back has tight quarters to fit into while Behemoth had an entire lake (errrr...rentention pond) shore to sprawl out over!
Delirium33 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I'm literally watching them place a section of one of the LARGEST supports right now, as I type. They are aligning the pieces. This is really interesting to watch.
Go Browns Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Man that thing is huge! It looks to be about 5 pieces.

RailRider Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Looking good. Also Beast1979 that was a concrete pumper placing concrete for the final floor section of the station. I thought some lines would help on the protractor image, hope that helps. I used 45degrees as the lift hill ascent. Steep lift, but even sharper drop
