Smh You should have moved it to an off-topic thread so everyone knows about the plagiarism. I'm moving the screenshots I took of this thread to a folder to save them for later. 1
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 It's raining in Mason. First rain in darn near a month? Ugh. It's welcome, but I hate that it'll slow down work this morning. 2
Klabergian Empire Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Looking at the cam, its raining at the park. 1
JubJester Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Would the rain actually effect putting in a piece of track Edit: Question answered. 1

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 So technically the lift hill construction has begun, if you consider that the piece just installed is L1 (Lift-1). I'd say the rest of it will be installed over the next few weeks.. 4
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I had a dream last night that Clifford had finally made it to Kings Island and the lift started going up. Sucks it was only a dream lol. 1
Maverick44 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 They are pulling in a big part of track right now. taking it to lift area. Looks to be the start of the lift that goes up. 2
JubJester Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Here's a photo. You can see the next piece getting ready. 5
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 So this piece being installed is mainly a large piece of backbone, with a very short section of track (the part that begins the incline up the lift hill) - this is exciting. 3
CedarIslander Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I've got 4 monitors at work. And one is dedicated to the construction cam, despite the annoyance from my boss! So exciting! 5 1
Klabergian Empire Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 They are starting the lift hill! 3

Here it goes! They have the backbone angled down to the footer! Yesssss 4
Kingshaven Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 We have track going into place at this moment 2
JonahWilliamson Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 LIFT HILL LETS GOOOOO. Ill update the color track diagram accordingly tonight! Cant wait to see how many pieces go up. Without Clifford on sight I only imagine one strait section going up. 5
fyrfyter Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 LIFT HILL LETS GOOOOO. Ill update the color track diagram accordingly tonight! Cant wait to see how many pieces go up. Without Clifford on sight I only imagine one strait section going up. I’d say as many as they can till they hit max height/capacity on the crane. It will all depend upon how fast the lift hill gains altitude.
Maverick44 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 This is awesome. I we get a piece or 2 more today as well! 3
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I know this has been official and stuff for a while, but it's just now hitting me that WE ARE GETTING A GIGA. And they are starting the lift and I'm ecstatic right now. 9

Watched the erection of copperhead the other day and they had at least 4 cranes in that congested area 3
Maverick44 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 So it looks like that piece doesn't meet the station track. Is there a piece that will go between? Looks like a small gap. 3

According to the blueprint, that piece currently being installed should attach to the piece that was installed earlier this morning. 2
thatguyfromohio Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 That piece is just a support, a track section will connect the station tracking to the bone support Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

You are right. @thatguyfromohio no there is track on that piece. You could see it when it was on the truck.

This is (very roughly) what the piece looks like that is being installed. 5
CedarIslander Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I'm surprised they started on the base of the lift hill before doing the brake run. But I'll take it! 3

But I'll take it! It kinds makes sense considering most of the pieces there are pretty much where the brake run would be. 1
