Diamondbacker27 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Where are you from? I live in Scottsburg. A.K.A Southern Indiana. Seymour....work in Columbus. Lol, it's a small world on the interwebz. I live on the other side of Columbus in Brown County. Way small world indeed You call that a small world. I saw one of my friends from school here in cincy, In Walt Disney World. GamesAndRide, No "Its a small world" pun intended. You think that's small? I once ran into a person I went to school with on a "Mike's Bike Tour" in Munich Germany. Haha. I saw a kid from my school at Seaworld Orlando during last Fall.
Kat Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 so, that small upside down U shaped support lookin thingy in the back by CJ, is that actually a support put in place or is it just pieces? Cuz it looks to me like an acutal support but it's not been noted on an update yet so not sure I've circled which one I think it is based on comparison between a webcam image I saved yesterday and the track layout.... Disappointed that this week has brought almost no change and I have no clue what they're even doing now...
LoraX Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 With the progress they had made to this point I hoped for more to be done, too. I wonder if the rain created problems for them until it dries out more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
upstop Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I think they are waiting for a delivery of supports. The last couple of days there hasn't been a lot of activity to view. 1
Kat Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I'll be in Eastgate again on Sunday for church. I'll swing by CSF again and see if I see anything. 5
HTCO Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I think they are putting in as much as they can(or at least is available to them). I'm sure there is much more that is being done while they wait for a shipment.
MarkB. Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 How about this name for the third crane---Claire--- She is there for the rise of Banshee and when she is no more---Banshee remains. Later, Mark 1
thedevariouseffect Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 We established the third crane is Jenkins 6
bringonthecoasters Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks for the welcome guys! I love watching the progress. Since they seem to be at a bit of a stall, how long do you think they will get before the weather becomes an issue....because this is Ohio and it's been far too calm of winters for the past few years. Or might they just keep going until Clifford Jr or Jenkins gets buried? Even if they finish the track, its not like they can run in in the winter. 2
ChainDog Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 If you look at Gatekeeper last winter- they worked through the snow and freezing temperatures up on the lake. So my guess is not much will stop 'em. I bet we will see a slow but steady pace through the winter. They wanted to get this much done so far to get the public even more interested. Remember too, once the track is done there are a LOT of electrical and mechanical parts that will need to be installed and tested along with the station and theming. It will be very fun watching this all come together in the upcoming months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
calakapepe Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 This being the auditions weekend couldn't have anything to do with the slow down, could it? I mean, they could still work, I guess, but there ARE random people going somewhat near the area. 1
Kat Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Went by CSF. All we saw were four trailers, each covered with a tarp. Nothing exciting. No trespassing involved 6

mikejenkins1 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Yes, my view of the area from the cam shows very little track/supports on site. What is is the valley appears to be lower track and I think they are builiding those supports but not putting up. They are just waiting on more track/supports and thus no visible progress. I am curious if there is a construction plan available like was for Gatekeeper with dates. That would show if they are on schedule or not. My guess is that they are doing ok.

For an actual address and directions, Google Clermont Steel Fabricators my fiancé grew up out there and knew how to get there, so that's how I learned how to get there
calakapepe Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I think the construction company deserves our trust that they'll get the job done whether they get behind or ahead of schedule from time-to-time.I hope we don't have a public schedule for projected, date-by-date construction progress.
myklhicks Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I feel like anyone that is complaining and/or wondering why they're going so slow right now need to remember that Banshee just went vertical 11 weeks ago. They've come so far so fast. 1
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Just saw a yellow crane turn into the park and ride parking lot, wasn't paying attention to the parking lot or anything though.
TheBEASTunchained Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Photo of the loop surrounding Banshee's lift hill.... (Photo taken by MasonBuzz) The whole Banshee photo album taken by MasonBuzz, two days ago, can be found here..... http://masonbuzz.com/photos/album/72157637461402024/Banshee-construction.html 16
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Wow. My thoughts when I saw Banshee on closing day. 4

(Photo taken by MasonBuzz) The whole Banshee photo album taken by MasonBuzz, two days ago, can be found here..... http://masonbuzz.com/photos/album/72157637461402024/Banshee-construction.html I still would like to know the reason the base of the loop is so far apart. It does not make sense. My first thought was clearance, but that is not the issue. Otherwise all the ther inverted coasters would be wide like that. Even on B&M's most recent inverted coaster, OzIris, the base of the loop is not wide. It is not because of the lift. Other B&M coasters loop around the lift and the are not that far apart. Perhaps Don can answer why the base of the loop is so wide. 2
rcwizard13 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 ^^^ And that is now my desktop background. 1
mikejenkins1 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 i was not asking that they post a day by day schedule just approximate dates. But for Gatekeeper they did post a day by day schedule. Now not sure if they were on schedule but it gave us an idea of how they were thinking for the process. So relax, it will get done.
MantisMan Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I still would like to know the reason the base of the loop is so far apart. It does not make sense. Just to be different? Sometimes making sense is not always the best. 5
txdrummer Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Just a guess here but I would say the increased width was designed in for a reason. Perhaps for a smoother and faster transition into the next element. 1
Kat Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 are we that bored now that we gotta "complain" or mention every oddity we don't like about this coaster?? WHO CARES if the width is seemingly wider than it is on other B&Ms..... it's gonna be awesome.... Besides, we don't know for sure it's wider until we have measured the width of the lift hill loops on all the other B&Ms 6
