gigacoaster2k Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I will edit my post to say something else. I'm sorry if I came off as rude. I certainly do not mean to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well, those outside interferences could be snow and winter weather. We already have a "Winter Storm Alert" for a potential winter storm that is expected to come through Monday night, and leave Wednesday morning. Of course, that doesn`t necessarily mean anything either. The last time the National Weather Service issued a winter weather bulletin for Cincinnati warning about a couple of inches of snow, we got nothing! But freezing rain and snow could put the skids on placing the final pieces of track on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 ^but couldn't that also mean that if pushed back by snow kic would be there for the lifting of the final peice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Force Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I still remember being lucky enough to be at the park the day the first track appeared by the splashdown. I remember being so excited! But it will be even more exciting to see it completed in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Backlot? I think I went up in the Eiffel Tower and rode the train more times this year than I ever have before. Of course, don`t forget that I was up on the top of the Eiffel Tower for TWO hours to get the four seconds of footage of the actual jump from the tower!

Colonel_SoB_fan Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I normally hate the Eiffel Tower due to my fear of it being old and collapsing, but this year almost every visit I went up there and very carefully looked at the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The Kings Island Eiffel Tower is a youngster, compared to the original, which is not only more than three times older, but also three times higher, and much more rickety, by all accounts.

Of course, don`t forget that I was up on the top of the Eiffel Tower for TWO hours to get the four seconds of footage of the actual jump from the tower! The 4 seconds of video you shot really gave the video so much depth, I truly enjoyed seeing the jump from that height and angle. I know nothing about Diamondback work crews schedule but I bet they are aware of the impending weather and will probably be ready to go first thing in the morning.

Go Browns Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I know nothing about Diamondback work crews schedule but I bet they are aware of the impending weather and will probably be ready to go first thing in the morning. If they are anything like the people I know who work out side then they probably watch the weather channel religiously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 That, my friend, will cost you more than a few nickels...or Euros.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 ^Yes but very much worth it. Last visit, (May of last year) I spent about $250 on 4 people, that is/was less that 200 euro. very good deal considering what you get, food, view, and some very friendly people. (Waiter was American attending school, but he did not tell us until the check was due.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You could almost spend that much on food and drinks at many US theme parks, for an experience in no way comparable to that you had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Today it is supposed to be crystal clear but VERY cold. Tonight into tomorrow we should recieve another few inches of snow, with the snow tappering off around midday. Overnight Tomorrow into Wednesday, though, we may recieve a coating to one quarter of an inch of ice. One Quarter is enough to bring down trees and power lines, the weather may get pretty nasty soon. Although, you do realize this is weather and what I said means basically nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74Gibson Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 They are lifting track into place as I type! Both pieces are going in but each held by its own Casper (crane, extention boom with a big metal hook or whatever they're called) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
