fyrfyter Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I don’t see it. It looks like they are currently setting pieces for the station in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterguy15 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm guessing B&M (and their brake caliper sub if they have one) probably have an ideal velocity for the train speed when entering a brake run which they have determined after designing many coasters. The ridiculous height of Orion's (and Leviathan's) brake run is probably a function of that ideal train speed and the high cost of making a longer course for the train to lose more energy before hitting the brakes. Fury's brakes are significantly lower presumably due to the overall ride length. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's unlikely. Edit: There are more brake run supports by the lift hill! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 In one of the behind the scenes videos the project manager said they would be finished with the lift hill by the “end of October or first week of November”. I’m hoping they start cranking it out when Zeus goes up. It should be topped off by the end of the month if weather permits. They are ahead of schedule.

I’m sure they hired an outside firm to produce the commercials. I wouldn’t hold my breath though, Yukon Striker & Copperhead haven’t received these animated commercials sadly. I personally love them. edit - Found them - https://carbonvfx.com/ 2nd edit - They wrote an article about Mystic Timbers editing process - https://carbonvfx.com/work/vfx/cedar-fair-mystic-timbers/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
