IndyGuy4KI Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Looks like piece 3 has shown up to the WS site. I wonder if they are going to put it on today or tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 ^Seeing that they just put the second one on, they'll probably wait until tomorrow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotag Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 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.

IndyGuy4KI Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'm gonna guess and say the door is for access to inside the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Looks like they might be getting ready to lift the third piece. Edit- They are currently lifting the third piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I like the fact that someone is sticking their head out the top of the already placed pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Freak Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I can see the 3rd piece of the tower from my apartment once it is lifted. Cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 One more piece of WS added and we will be out of camera view. That thing is really going up quick now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trint2004 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 its so pretty...im getting so excited about this ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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.

CedarPointer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I spy a spot for vending machines. I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If I had to guess, I`d say that is more likely the rides electrical building and not a spot for vending machines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I didn't notice the part that seems to have a door at first, but on second thought, I think you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo1 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wow that looks high already, and its not even a hundred feet tall. This gives me bad memories of Drop Tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It's right around 112 feet tall right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 My bad, but still thats only just a third over the final height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
