Beast Night Rider Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I don’t think it’s in yet but looks like they have it ready to go up first thing in the morning. I’ve been watching for longer than I’d like to admit bc I thought they were really going to put it up. You guys were right for laughing! Lol. Tomorrow should be a fun day to watch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that! Back in 2016, I got yelled at by my 8th grade Social Studies teacher for looking for updates on Lightning Rod when I was supposed to be working on a project with a group. Oops! I was just interested in Lightning Rod. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodistict Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I hope we see a lot of action this week, because it was pretty quiet on the site for awhile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It took me multiple tries and it's definitely not accurate, but decided to make what Orion could look like at night. It wasn't fully night when I took this screenshot since I wanted to be able to see the site, but this was the best I could do! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VisibleConcern Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 What will be the best way to view Orion during Winterfest? I don't think WindSeeker or Racer will be open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingshaven Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I speculating that Clifford along with an additional crane will be here later this week or early next. Will take a little time to assemble Clifford. Todays progress will kinda determine the timeframe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 They're loading a piece of track up on a trailer on the left side of the cam. It's going up today! I'm going to guess that we'll get at least 2 pieces of lift hill track installed today. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 1999, seeing an artists drawing of Millennium Force, and how it made Mantis look like a kiddie coaster in comparison. I was in awe! And my brother looked at me and said "welcome to the future of roller coaster design!" 20 years later, he wasn't wrong.
