Or they may be adding more supports we just can't see due to all the supports from the helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Night Rider Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Another piece of track is going up right now on the helix!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Not a lot of clearance between the boom and the installed track now. They are cutting it close! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I think that leaves us with 1 more support and thats all! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gplez90 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Looks like another track piece is being installed into the helix! Side note, Kings Island had opened up donations for the First Rider Auction.

presto123 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Coaster looking great! So did KI decide to go with intensity, ride experience, and rider capacity over all out record breaking stats and track length? This could end up being a better ride than many of the stats coasters? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It doesn't look like there's going to be much track work happening today. I see a V-shaped support laying on the ground, in addition to the one that will go just before the start of the brake run. So two more supports to install. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 They won't put any track in place with this weather. Doesn't look like any crew is on site. Early weekend for them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born_in_'72 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 There are two supports still not up. There is the single support going in to the break run, but there is also the support that is assembled, but still laying on the ground, under the first drop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I think the support that you circled does go in the head chopper portion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
