KIlover123 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 this is going to be a monster!!!!! I cant wait i dont think anybody can!!
FOFreak Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Is it just me or did the area of the concrete (used to be) square where the station will be get bigger?
cisco227 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Also, is that unpainted track at Clermont Steel for Diamondback? http://www.KICentral.com/photos/albums/use...v7and8_0027.jpg Some of those pieces may be for DB, but it seems to me that some of those pieces are for an inversion of somesort, which would have to be for different coaster. Don't forget about Manta! The inversion could be for the pretzel loop, if that's what track pieces those are for. Good point! I hadn't thought about that.
Go Browns Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Probably not the pretzel loop, looks like that will be erected in the next few days. So maybe another part of manta or another unkown ride...who knows
Beast1979 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Right on time, they are getting ready to lift the drop track.
firehawkboy Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 ^I'm guessing they are doing some adjustments to him. They did that right when they were putting the supports up as well.
cisco227 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Oh ok. I must not have seen when they were doing that before. Thanks. EDIT: Clifford's back up now anyways. lol
RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Big section of drop track is currently being installed. Looks like they are working from the bottom up. Hard to tell from the cam angle, but it looks very steep.
CoastersRZ Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 The next piece of drop track is currently being lifted by "Clifford."
Tchu Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Looks like we could see completion of the first drop before the day is out (it'll at least be most of the way there). Should make for an awesome next update from Mr. Helbig and the KICentral staff. Plus, one good side-profile picture after completion of the drop should finally be able to put to rest any questions/concerns some may have about just how tall/steep the first drop will be when all is said and done.
CoastersRZ Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Do people not believe the published stats for this ride? Its not like they are going to be altered from already published information.
RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Yes there are some that disbelieve the published stats for the ride just like there are some that still think Vortex is sinking. Ignorance cannot be questioned nor can logic be applied...
StalkerChick Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Is the webcam not working for anyone else or is it just me? i get the pretty page break icon inthe upper left corner
Tchu Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I heard that Vortex was sinking into itself, but I may be crazy as a Bat. Meanwhile, I suspect that Diamondback will be just as advertised, and that's something I'm very much looking forward to in 09.
Beast1979 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Yes there are some that disbelieve the published stats for the ride just like there are some that still think Vortex is sinking. Ignorance cannot be questioned nor can logic be applied... Well, yea! Next thing you know you'll be saying that Global Warming is real!
Beast1979 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 The drop is almost in! But the question remains, when they finish it today what will they do for the rest of the week?
bsktgrvy Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 The drop is almost in! But the question remains, when they finish it today what will they do for the rest of the week? Stand and stare at the first drop the just created in awe?
Gordon Bombay Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Will they get rid of the little road after its built or will that stay there?the road The road will stay.
RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Well once they finish the drop I would imagine Casper will pack up and leave while Clifford rolls towards the 2nd hill and finish it. Not to mention that work on the station will continue, supports will continue to be erected around the mcbr and hammerhead and they will probably poor the remaining footers for the helix in front of The Beast.
flightoffear1996 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I want to see that drop for a different angle.
RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 And you will once Don takes some more pictures. Anticipation is a wonderful thing.
BoddaH1994 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 The latest from Don Helbig: See more in the KICentral Photo Gallery!
RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 The drop is looking absolutely amazing. Takes nerves of steel to do what those guys do.
FOFreak Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 It looks to me like there is a new webcam view! Its that or the cam just messed up again.
cedarAfairs Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Ohhhhhhhhh Man. Talk about anticipation! That's my favorite pic yet. This view somewhat helps put this drop into some perspective. April 17th can't come sooner!
BoddaH1994 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 This is my fav so far... I mean... look at that hill!
