They've added something to it for sure. That makes more sense than what I thought (that they had wrapped it in something) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Night Rider Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Did anyone else see smoke coming from the transfer station? Maybe it was dust from a car driving by or something but looked like smoke.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When setting the lift in place for Fury they had 7 cranes holding different parts before the ride could rest on itself. That was only for the lift though. Less cranes needed for the layout I assume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonahWilliamson Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Cedar Fair owns them and just moves them around as needed. They measure the riders clearances and check for anything wrong with the track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
