This shows how much Diamondback could use a repaint. The colors are so bold. The Eiffel Tower and Drop Tower look really nice in this picture as well.

Before it was demolished, Firehawk desperately needed a paint job, so did flight deck before they repainted it.

[FUN&ONLY!]

The Racer needs a repair too, in my opinion, back to the original colors, but I am assuming that will come in 2022 for the ride’s/park’s 50th anniversary. Don Helbig mentioned repainting The Racer is on their to-do list.

Oh yeah thats right. And I totally agree Racer needs its original colors back.

Wow. Even then the timing was off... lol

[Maverick44]

Yeah that would be great.

I'd like to see Vortex get a fresh coat of paint. The orange is very faded. If they coaster is going to stay for a while.

I agree, Vortex has faded from navy and orange to dark bluish green, and yellow.

[Maverick44]

I wish there was a green coaster in the park. Haha

Looks like work is all done today. Not a very exciting day.

I wonder when we'll see the next track piece go up! Obviously when a new support is put up! I wonder when that will take place. Maybe tomorrow they'll put up a new support? 

[Maverick44]

When they get rolling I assume they can do many supports each day.  I think we may need the break run continue to go up maybe tomorrow.

[Kodistict]

I know that this was asked a while ago, but that thing by the yellow crane, i'm pretty sure is catwalk, I noticed that some catwalk was missing from its original spot.

Maybe we will start to see lift hill construction! Finally getting to the good stuff!

[ohiocoasterfan]

Here is a good Fury 325 construction time lapse. Looks like they completed the brake run before the lift hill. I would expect to see the same here.

Big Red? That’s Clifford.

Are there really only 2 large red cranes? I was in Unalaska when a 110 foot crane fell over back in like 09-10. Made a massive mess. Was the harbor crane for all the shipping container vessels. Thats the largest crane ive seen in person.

Nice find eagle eyes

[LovinMeSomeBanshee]

^ Probably laying concrete over the yellow vapor barrier they installed last week.

[Klabergian Empire]

It appears they are moving more supports this morning.

That's right I couldn't remember so Big Red sounded the best.

[LovinMeSomeBanshee]

It definitely looks like the "floor" of the station that was previously the yellow vapor barrier has been covered with a fresh layer of concrete.

Please remember that if you are going to add a photo that is not yours, you need to source it with a clickable URL.

It is part of the TOS because we want to respect the original author of all photos. Thanks!

[Maverick44]

Well I took the crane picture myself soooooo does that make it mine and not need to source myself?  this is getting wild in here.  People can't even post their own pictures without being said to mark the source? I will make sure when I post a picture  that I took I will start the post off with " I TOOK THIS PICTURE". I would understand if I was a repeat offender but nay that's not me! lol I understand.

People acting like pictures are their homes and wives. 

 

I doubt anyone here is making money off their pictures.

Exactly.  The other people using photos without permission rule only stipulates you can't use someone else's photos to make a profit.  NOBODY here is making a profit off of using someone else's photos unless they are taking those photos to another site.

[Maverick44]

I was mistaken. I did post a picture of Clifford when Valraven was being constructed. I just got the image off google. I have since went back and sourced the photo. I do not think @IndyGuy4KI was talking about my crane pic! Sorry about above post. I forgot I even posted the Valravn pic!

[Hawaiian Coasters 325]

But copyright is a big thing to respect even if you aren't trying to make money off of it. As a HS student and going to a rigorous school, we are learning the importance of citing sources if using someone else's ideas. So it's important to provide a link to the original source so you can show that you understand it is not your photo so that you don't infringe their copyright.

If we're talking memes, yeah sure, I guess it's no big deal. But...

One of the reasons this is a rule is because we have members here who have had their photos copied and shared with zero credit and sometimes with the addition of a watermark, implying that it's original content. It's a huge deal for content creators, even for hobbyists who make no money from it. I run a movie-related website where I occasionally post movie reviews/articles and this is one of the reasons why I started listing a film's credited still photographers when I post productions photos on the social media accounts. Because very few ever seem to do that on similar accounts and the photographers deserve to be credited for their work. 

It only takes a moment to credit a source and drop a link. In one member's case, they go through the effort of taking photos from charted flights, so yeah, respectfully, it's kind of a big deal. 

[Maverick44]

We can get back onto topic. This was my bad. As you can see in my last post it was a misunderstanding that has been rectified.
