Beast1979 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Why in the world would it be lift track, they already have one preped and ready to go! Jackson, who just got a song in his head, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFreak Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Because they haven't put one up today. FOFreak, who also has a song stuck in his head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well why would you overload with track pieces, when you can put one up and then get another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Because they are skilled ironworkers and know how to put together rides like Diamondback. They might be doing prep work on all the track pieces to complete the lift (ie putting in the stairs and the chain link netting), so that when they put the big lift support up, they don`t have to worry about bracing it for long times when they prep the track, like they`ve done with the current lift support that is tied off to other areas. They know how to put the ride together, and in what order they need to do it in to hopefully, complete the ride on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 So I checked the Blog and it said the latest update and it was still "Construction Continues on Diamondback", but it said it was updated October 20 instead of when that update was written on the 17th! Check it out Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFreak Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Apparently it is a typo, because it has nothing new compared to what it had on the 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So in terms of height how high is the lift right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So in terms of height how high is the lift right now? Id' make a guess and say 125ft.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofki Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So in terms of height how high is the lift right now? Id' make a guess and say 125ft.? I would say closer to 180'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Averaging out your two answers it is 152.5 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofki Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 It was hard to tell, but it looked like it was somewhere around whatever Vortex's height is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBeast07 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 the tallest support still has to be completed, the tallest one right now is number 3 according to the renderings. support number 5 will be the one over the midway where the plant is on top.

SonofBeast07 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 no, if you look at number 3 in this rendering and other renderings it has a bend near the top, the tallest support is the only only one with a bend at the top (bend or overlap). number 5 will be where the planters are in front of the building, then behind the building is number 4 that is still in construction, then number 3 which is already up.

SonofBeast07 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 see, there are two supports with overlaps at the top, right now there is only one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFreak Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 No, #4 on the right has a bend also. Look at Beast1979's most recent PTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I know I am missing supports in the ravine but I cant figure which one in which in the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 That little bend in the support is supposed to be there. That little "bent" portion is plum (true vertical) as opposed to the rest of the left half of that support which is angled. The support becomes purely vertical to align with the center line of the lift track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
