They've added something to it for sure. That makes more sense than what I thought (that they had wrapped it in something) 2
Maverick44 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Yeah they are putting together the transfer track. 5
Beast Night Rider Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Did anyone else see smoke coming from the transfer station? Maybe it was dust from a car driving by or something but looked like smoke.. 3
Rockfrog33 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 So. Just curious, how manny different cranes were used to assemble DB and Fury? 3

When setting the lift in place for Fury they had 7 cranes holding different parts before the ride could rest on itself. That was only for the lift though. Less cranes needed for the layout I assume. 1
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Here's a nice video on the making of Fury 325! 4
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I wonder if someone will do a documentary on Orion 5
Kodistict Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Looks like they are about to put the track in place 2 1
Born_in_'72 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 They're lifting the piece of transfer track into place!!! 4
Kodistict Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Looks like they are moving even more track. 2 1

Klabergian Empire Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 My question is: since the station piece and transfer piece is up, what part of the ride will they begin putting together next? 5

collin.klopfstein Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Could someone post a picture of the big red crane? ive never seen it and when i search it up nothing shows up 2
collin.klopfstein Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 haha also what the heck is this thing on the track? 1 2

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 It looks like they're about to assemble the turnaround track now. 4

jimlaheyscar Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Do they keep that machine on-site? I'm guessing it's shared and moves around? 3

Klabergian Empire Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I wonder if Kings Island already has one of those for Diamondback? 2
JonahWilliamson Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Cedar Fair owns them and just moves them around as needed. They measure the riders clearances and check for anything wrong with the track. 2
