Captain Nemo Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 ^Sweet. i figured that side would be the exit I believe that you enter from the left side and exit to the right. According to the blueprints that is what is planned.
G-Force Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 New blog update! ACE will be coming to KI on Febuary 7th, I wonder if this will also be the third coming?? Oh and the blue tarp is fro the cement.
G-Force Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 That other KI fansite went along with ACE just last month! I think it has a probable chance of being the same day as the third coming.
CoastersRZ Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 And for those of you following along to the many pages of this thread, I answered one of the questions which Don answered in the blog today (about the wide flange beams that are mounted to the bottom of the support acting as a shear key). Beast1979, what you thought was line gates is actually just temporary fencing that was installed where the station platform meets the edge of the track for fall protection for the workers. Additionally, the corrugated steel that is comprises the bottom "form" work for the concrete is shiny and corrugated, which can appear like lines. I`d look for the exit to be on the right side, with the load side of the station being on the left. The queue rails, and automatic gates are installed AFTER the concrete floor has been installed, and are generally among the last things to be installed, in part because I believe that the park installs some of the queue rails themselves, and does not utilize the general contractor building the stations for such services.
Coney Islander Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I have one question in mind. How can Holiday World build roller coasters so cheaply?
CoastersRZ Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Well, the Voyage cost $6.5 million, not exactly a cheap ride, but not extremely expensive like the $22 million Diamondback.
skaterboy22101 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 i just want to let you guys know...... I LOVE DIAMONDBACK
Monroe Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 ^^^You get what you pay for. I'm not saying that their coasters are not fun, but rather not as complex.

Kawana Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 The ironworkers, crane operators and the other workers come from all over. This is Thanksgiving holiday week. And deer season in many states. Just sumthin' to remember. Terpy, who notes that some states have no school all this week, as few...boys or girls...would be there anyway if there were.... Didn't even think about that. Thanks Terp. Where's my head at?
The Interpreter Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 How Would I Be Able To Attend To Winter Soar This Winter.Im Not A Member Of ACE,But Ill Pay To Attend i reallly dont think you can Stay tuned....it depends...sometimes other groups attend, not just ACE...sometimes not. And if not SOAR, there may well be other events. Terpy, who tries to say enough without saying too much
Beast1979 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I remember last Year Winter SOAR was held in Mason and KICentral members could get in along with ACErs.
74Gibson Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I just want to say that I appreciate all the potos, TR's and event reports cuz I live 4 hrs from KI, I'm in grad school and have a 4 month old. So as much as I'd like to attend events and visit parks more, it's not happening for a couple years and I really thank you all for keeping me in the loop through this site. Returning to the topic of entering and exiting the station. Wasn't it said early on the you cross under the tracks and enter the train from the left (as we look at the above photos) then exit on the right?
skaterboy22101 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 WOW!!!!!!! it is the day be fore thanksgiving and i see concrette being pored, alot of activity by the final helix, and clifford and casper are do ing stuff.

74Gibson Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I didn't skip ahead and made the comment because this was already discussed, proven and finalized but I didn't have time to find it. Sorry.

Sorry. its fine i reaally wasnt trying to go off on you. but alot of people do it and it gets so fricking annoying.
Beast1979 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 They are lifting the tallest track piece on the second hill right now.
74Gibson Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 That second hill looks so sweet topped off! Have we come to a consensus on the name? I can't wait to see this hill finished and see the track going through the ravine. To those good people who do the arial photography, I'd love to see some more shots of the back part, the ravine, hammerhead turn and MCBR. Since we can hardly see it through the webcam, I'm just dying with curiosity about the progress.
FOFreak Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 ^^^You get what you pay for. I'm not saying that their coasters are not fun, but rather not as complex. Take that back! If you want to play that game; Beast is not that complex nor The Racer! Wooden Coasters are not as complex as Steel Coasters. For they cannot do inversions and so forth.
FOFreak Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I cannot see the top of the second hill through the big lift hill. Can someone please point it out to me? How long has that been done?
FOFreak Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Holy cow!!! That is amazing! Thank you, Firehawkboy!
G-Force Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Ah!!!! The Earth is splitting open!! lol, I wonder why the camera is doing that!
skaterboy22101 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Ah!!!! The Earth is splitting open!! lol, I wonder why the camera is doing that! haahahahahahaha. i saw that to. actally i thought it was like a rocket or something
74Gibson Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 ^ That's a pic of the birth of DB's soul of fury...and let's not forget the speed and venom!
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 ^ It chose an interesting place to birth its soul of fury... but then again, the draining of Swan Lake was one of the first signs of the coming of Diamondback. [EDIT] I was about to call Area 51
