On the Diamondback cam you can see Vortex a little bit. Think they will leave it when they rip Vortex down? Sorry for going off topic lol And if KI replaces Vortex with a coaster, they'll probably shift the Diamondback webcam over to that area for construction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Voyage Lover Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It looks like they are assembling the next section of the hill to be added behind there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we positive they are tearing it down this season yet? And actually will be exciting if they move Diamondback cam. I love it but imagine WindSeeker the back half of orion and new construction of a coaster. Cons: I wont be able to tell how long Diamondbacks line is... and we lost Banshee cams so i cant make my late park decisions based on webcam lines, does anyone else do this? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for going off topic lol Personally, I'd like to see them move that camera to the left a little so we can watch the demolition. Demoing coasters fascinates me just as much as constructing coasters. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like they are expensive. Obviously with the ease of moving them they have the infrastructure in place for this. If they don’t move one to the far end of Racer, we will never see that end of Orion being built. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonahWilliamson Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I wish they moved theirs as much as Cedar Point. Its literally just a slight move and leave it for a week. We havent seen a snoopy cam, waterpark cam would be cool. I really want a drop zone or Invertigo... (parking lot view to see how crowded) 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I would love to see them add a couple more cameras. They could move the Mystic one to show elsewhere in the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the KI cams are so much better then the CP cams. Too bad we can't get the best of both. CP cams are so blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The park will never allow the general public to see how many cars are in the parking lot. Allowing potential customers to see the parking lot is full before leaving the house and dissuading them from coming? That's terrible business sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you said movable cams would never happen, which makes zero sense. PTZ cams would be perfect as you never have to physically move them, just go in and adjust them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Cleo's about to lift that section of track from the trailer. I doubt we get anything installed today. Probably staging to start tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I believe the two pieces of track over there are too straight to be drop track. If I had to guess, they are staging lift track pieces to make it easier for the big crane to erect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog33 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 So, it appears that they are now placing the timber for the articulated crawler crane. I would look to see that starting to be assembled by Friday.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think they need Clifford or such to do the lift. Plus they need to put up next set of supports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I think they are moving that piece around to then just watch all of us respond to what we think they’re doing. If they only knew what the smallest movement down on the site does to this forum haha.

You may not need that Diamondback cam next year if Orion has the same effect on Diamondback that Fury did on Intimidator. I hope that is not the case. I love Diamondback and I think its better than Intimidator. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
