Could be just an illusion though. I think that is just a shadow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The other shadows dont flow the same. Also, there IS a footing/footer just in front of the other one. It's hard to tell unless you see it from the sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 That was definitely a shadow. They rotated the crane and there is nothing there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Night Rider Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Not sure this was already mentioned but in the video from channel 9 yesterday, you can clearly see the long piece of track assembled behind the maintenance shed that we were talking about last week. This is 100% lift hill track with the catwalk already installed. You can see it will be the next piece of the lift hill based on how the catwalk will fit with the existing lift hill track/catwalk that’s already up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is shorter, so the shadows look different. The shadow matches the angles of all the other shadows. (I know, I have too much time on my hands :/) They are now attaching the piece of drop track that separates from the backbone to the rest of the backbone. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gonna be awesome looking. I remember going for Steel Vengeance's media day and you couldn't see the top of the hill. Was an amazing experience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 So I'm guessing Zeus isn't the priority right now. No progress (that we can see) has been made today in assembling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Here's another nice article on Orion. Imo this kinda explains the reason they didn't go taller with this. https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/kings-island-new-giga-coaster-uses-rolling-terrain-its-advantage/gsPH2j2l1E1thR5MNVA5yO/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
