It's not taking too long, they have a schedule, and those cranes are crazy expensive, thousands per day. There is no reason to have it sitting there not working. The cranes needed will show up when they need to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I heard the figure of $10,000 per day back when Diamondback was being built. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it go back behind the lift hill and turn left about an hour ago so probably could be what @Rockfrog33 suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 You can see they are putting the wood down on the gravel. That is where Clifford is going to sit! I think we are going to see him soon! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Im sure there is a lot involved but I always think it will go up faster than it does. Like strap the track up lift it up bolt it on unstrap move on to the next part. I’m sure it’s a lot more involved though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yeah seems like the hill takes a whole day for one part lol The bottom of that drop thought they placed 3 sections of track in 1 day! wow!!!! haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the rigging involved to ensure the angle of the track is close to what it needs to be for installation. They use the chain hoists to make small adjustments once they fly the piece in, but it need to be close to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that he is in the front parking lot helping with Clifford. Sorry for the blurry picture. Best I could do from the drop off lane with my phone. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodVengeance Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 This is the second construction thread I've kept track of, the first being Mystic Timbers. So with Clifford being at the park, does that mean we'll start seeing construction of the lift hill and other tall structures soon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your popcorn ready cause they will work quick as possible when it shows up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeviousMrMatt Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 it is hard to see from the webcam because of all the buildings in the way, but it looks like they have a significant amount of track together and laying on the ground getting ready for Clifford to raise up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodistict Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 How long does it take for Clifford to usually get in the air? KI will sure look different with a giant crane in the air, soon to be a giga. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
