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

sixohdieselrage Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Happy Thursday morning everyone! One more day till we can see the site in person, and not to have to watch a webcam. 9

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Anyone know where T-Bone went? I don't see him on the cam. 1

Maverick44 Posted October 3, 2019 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

flightoffear1996 Posted October 3, 2019 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
Maverick44 Posted October 3, 2019 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

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.
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 What's on that semi pulling in? Supports? I can't tell. 1
sixohdieselrage Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Hopefully something important. I'm ready to see it rise higher! Edited October 3, 2019 by sixohdieselrage To stay on topic. 1
Klabergian Empire Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Blue Racer stopped at the lift hill. 1

CedarIslander Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Geez, there's enough wood down there to build Son of Beast. 6

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
WoodVengeance Posted October 3, 2019 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

Get your popcorn ready cause they will work quick as possible when it shows up. 4
DeviousMrMatt Posted October 3, 2019 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

But they've gotta put supports up first! 1
Kodistict Posted October 3, 2019 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
