thedevariouseffect Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I don't like tacks, why does Banshee have to have tacks...Last thing I need is one of those on my seat like the Ed Alonzo show 4
thedevariouseffect Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Aww...you used the editor, now noone will know 3
myklhicks Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 my phone auto-corrected the word "track" to "tack." now they will.haha.
Adventuro Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 It looks like they may be planning to put the next support up, 2
fryoj Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 They are rolling along today. Another piece of track in the air and I'd expect to see another support and piece of track up by the end of the day.
upstop Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Wow! They have the track up about halfway to the top of the dive loop!!! Yay!
medford Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 can't tell for sure on IE, but looks like they're installing the next support now, it would be the 2nd tallest support w/n the dive loop element. Lots and lots of progress today. Edit, switched over to firefox where I could zoom in, and I think I was wrong, doesn't look like the next support is being put in place right now, though perhaps sometime today or tomorrow? Either way, still makings lots of progress today. 1
IndyGuy4KI Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 I know it is an illusion, but Banshee looks so much bigger than FD! 1
Adventuro Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 You can also see the little green concrete truck pouring the station foundation. 1
Executioner822 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 the chain lift loop is going to be pretty tall. the arch of the loop comes to the center of the second lift support above the catwalk but under the track, look at the birdseye animation vid and pause it when the loop comes into a good view and then from the top of the loop trace your finger to the right and it comes to the second support lift. tried to make it sound simple...
upstop Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Woo hoo! Headed into the loop with supports! 1

BruceWayneWins Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I know it is an illusion, but Banshee looks so much bigger than FD! What is FD?
fanofFirehawk Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 ^Flight Deck. A Abbreviation breakdown! DB = Diamondback SD = SurfDog ( do people use this one?) FAAC = Flying Ace Ariel Chase DT = Drop Tower CF = Congo Falls TA = (old) Thunder Alley FH = Firehawk FoF = Flight of Fear AE = Adventure Express SS = Sling Shot VF = Viking Fury WS = WindSeeker ET = Eiffel Tower WS(E) = Wood Stock Express Some of them aren't really used, and some of them I don't have but that might help. 4
silver2005 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I know it is an illusion, but Banshee looks so much bigger than FD! What do you mean illusion? It is bigger than Flight Deck in pretty much every way. 4
Shawn Meyer Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 ^ Maybe he was comparing the artist rendering to the construction progress.
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I know...enough webcam pictures, but this one was a must-post.... Banshee...Sticking her way up through the fog!.... 18
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Here it is in color, which makes the lights around the ride kinda look like fire: 12
thedevariouseffect Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 darn it's foggy down there, only a bit up her this morning
upstop Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 uh oh.....someone left the Haunt fog juice running... great picture!!! 3
davidw Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 i think we might see a couple of inversions today... 1
fryoj Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 A couple might be tough, but the dive loop is definitely a good possibility. Looks like they have one support up already and are building a second on the ground right now.
Kat Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 With it raining today (at least down here in Cincinnati), they may not get too much done.
medford Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 It was raining yesterday, they still got a lot of work done. Its not raining that hard today, they may be slowed down, but they'll still most, if not all of their scheduled work in today unless the rain/wind really pick up from where it is right now.
fryoj Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah it's raining there now, and they have a piece of track in the air on the small crane. I'm kinda wondering if they are going to put in the track for the bottom part of the dive loop and rollout to the start of the lift loop before they top off the dive loop. Makes sense actually, that way the upper track isn't in the way when they are setting the lower track.
