or its a bug.

It appears that a bird or maybe a bug has decided to interfere with our construction stalking.

Someone shake it off.....LOL....

It looks like some shadow creature is eating Delirium.

Looks like a campy horror movie with the giant bug on top of the Eiffel Tower.

But looking at the completed 2nd lift support, that tower is huge. There is still a 3rd tower to go in that will be even higher. This is going to have a much greater impact on the skyline than I originally imagined.

Attack of the Praying Mantis.....AHHHHHHH!

edit: Judging by the angle of ascent, this ride is going to dive right to the ground!..... Woo Hoo!!! can't wait to ride this one! I also think this invert will slam to an upright position at the end....just by virtue of the speed through the valley.

Now that this middle lift hill support is up, I am starting to realize the size of the vertical loop. It is going to be huge.

Webcams dont work on .mil networks...someone post pics please!!

In order to build the loop around the lift , do you think they'll build the bottom half of the vertical loop first? Then attach the lift hill track, and followed up by topping off the loop?

Seems like they are taking that rather large lift hill track by the transfer, and hooking it up to Clifford.

I would say finish the lift and then build the loop around the lift.

Just out of curiosity as I'm trying to eyeball how this will look, how tall is the Sling Shot structure?

It's very tall

Not the answer you were looking for?

They have topped off the next support and it is really high! It also looks like a pigeon poo'd on the camera.

Makes me wonder if Banshee will look like Raptor after the first year. You know how the first loop looks? On the top it's full of bird poo.

Kings Island doesn't have as many birds as Cedar Point does, so I doubt it will be as bad as Raptor.

I'm not sure on the height of the structure but I believe the ball itself can travel as high as 230'

I'm surprised no one said it was Banshee.

Yes. Bees.

That man I married has a printout of the Banshee layout at work, so he can see what's going up on the webcam.

He's responsible for tracking the ././Deadly Ra---don!././ that comes into your home.

Think of that next time you spend hours alone and sulking in your Ohio basements.

I believe it goes to ~260 feet, depending on weight of the ball.

First time trying to post a pic, let's see if it works.

Why does it look like the next track piece they install is going to go through the A frame of that support?

I was thinking the same exact thing...

EDIT:

Seems like an optical illusion. I drew a line from the base of the "first" lift hill track piece, lined it up, and kept going with it and this is the result:

Looks like B&M actually knows what they are doing.

Thanks HTCO, that was bugging the heck out of me all day!

I'm going to the park when it's open for the toyota people, so I'll to get some photos if I can.

I saw the area for the first time tonight. The ride is going to look amazing.

The poop on Raptor has become part of the paint scheme, but it's bizarre that it only happens to that ride. Perhaps its the shade of green...

Luckily, birds HATE to be anywhere near maroon.

I don't care if I quoted a post directly above. It's short enough to not be a nuisance.

The structure of slingshot is 260' but the ball travels higher than that so somewhere between 280 and 290

Sorry, are you trying to answer someone?
