SOrry for the multiple post but there is even more! 

EDIT: wow track is huge

The drop drops right near a creek. I wish they could find a way to expand the creek a little bit. It'll look pretty cool to have a stream running with a rollercoaster right by it.

Hello everyone. First time poster long time lurker. Looks like something is being brought in from trucks from the back... maybe Clifford?

This is the first view I’ve seen that shows how big of an elevation drop at the bottom  Of the first hill. From the pics above, it doesn’t look this steep. Nice to see this angle for once!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I just wanted to post for the first time after seeing those trucks come in. Very exciting stuff! I've been lurking since Orion speculations and even have a monitor at work dedicated for the construction cam (as most users on here are doing). Working at Kings Island for 6 years in the rides department I love seeing stuff like this and getting a more in-dept look at the construction from you all. 

 

So thanks to everyone for always providing the quickest updates on what's going on...even though sometimes might not be accurate lol.

T-Bone looks like he's about to move another track piece.

The track is in the air, maybe a piece of the brake run?

That's what I was thinking.  Maybe they're about to start that, too.  Spine on that piece wasn't thick enough to be lift hill.

We have some sweet multi-tasking right now! Crane assembly + brake run staging

Am I not looking at " the crane part"?

Do you mean the boom? That may be the case. I thought the entire crane was red for Clifford. I might be wrong.

yes thats what i meant, the boom is red , the base is white i guess?

With Clifford, the whole thing was red.  Base, boom, all of it.  This isn't the same crane.
