Looks like piece 3 has shown up to the WS site. I wonder if they are going to put it on today or tomorrow?

^Seeing that they just put the second one on, they'll probably wait until tomorrow....

They probably ran out of time to take them down, if it takes them almost 2 months to set up for the haunt, I would imagine it takes about as much time to take it down.

Given the fact that the "facade" for US is a giant tarp and the vast majority of Coney Maul's "theming" is a bunch of flags, they have had plenty of time to at least take down CM's exterior scenery between November 1st and now. Unless they're waiting til Preseason Cleanup to do so.

Does anyone see the door open on the bottom of the tower? I wonder what it is for?

if my uncle was to answer this, it would be along the lines

to make you ask questions.

, sorry; couldnt help it.

I am trying to figure out if there are 9 or 10 sections of steel that make up the ride. Plus the cap on top of course, but we won't count that.

I'm gonna guess and say the door is for access to inside the tower.

Looks like they might be getting ready to lift the third piece.

Edit- They are currently lifting the third piece.

I like the fact that someone is sticking their head out the top of the already placed pieces!

The next piece is hooked up to the crane and sitting next to the tower. I'd said it's likely to be lifted soon.

There getting that sucker up!

I can see the 3rd piece of the tower from my apartment once it is lifted. Cool stuff.

Awesome, we want some pics!

i second that notion.

One more piece of WS added and we will be out of camera view. That thing is really going up quick now!

kinda reminds me of picture ive seen with zodiac in them. just a little out of place though.

This thing is going to be insane:

Walking down Coney Mall will never be the same!

It's like a second International Street!

Most definitely going to be breathtaking! I saw that pic on my phone at first and did not do it justice compared to on the computer.

its so pretty...im getting so excited about this ride...

WS along with the refurbishment Coney Mall has seen is going to bring new life to this area. Honestly this may fill the void that was lacking with no Ferris Wheel.

That last picture just looks great, look how nice the pavers look along with that new giant tower at the end of the path.

I spy a spot for vending machines. I think?

If I had to guess, I`d say that is more likely the rides electrical building and not a spot for vending machines...

I didn't notice the part that seems to have a door at first, but on second thought, I think you're right.

My guess it is an extension of the restrooms to prevent lines from having a direct view into the stalls. No peek a boo stuff ya know.

Very cool pictures posted on Kings Island's Facebook, they are not my pictures:

Does anyone know how many tower pieces are left?

Wow that looks high already, and its not even a hundred feet tall. This gives me bad memories of Drop Tower.

It's right around 112 feet tall right now.

My bad, but still thats only just a third over the final height

Very true, I'd like to see a view like the second picture once all 8 pieces are in place.

Edit- Kingsrattler, there are 5 pieces left.
