KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Well they don't move The Beast when fireworks go off, so I doubt that is the issue. I would assume it will close due to the location unfortunately. 4
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Yeah it probably will close for fireworks like Beast does. Especially since it is located right next to the launching pad. 3

fyrfyter Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Wow I’m dumb You’re not. There’s a standoff distance listed in the Fire Code as well as the NFPA 1123 guide for fireworks. It depends upon the size of the shell used as to how far the minimum distance is that the “crowd” can be. Anything closer or in close proximity must be shut down during the fireworks display and 20 minute “cool down” after the display is over. They could always move the launching location elsewhere... 5

But yeah, I was mainly thinking about proximity to the fireworks. Fireworks debris could be an issue. Or, similar to what @fyrfyter said, perhaps there are codes or laws regarding proximity to fireworks that they have to follow. 2 1
collin.klopfstein Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Apperently this is at Cedar Point ...... wow 1 7
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 I'm guessing the crews don't usually do much on the weekends because I didn't really see them do much on the weekends. 1 minute ago, collin.klopfstein said: Apperently this is at Cedar Point ...... wow Millennium Force is 310 feet tall lol. 4

Klabergian Empire Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Sorry for the double post, but there is a truck bringing in another support piece. 3
fyrfyter Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 But Millennium Force isn't 312 feet. lol Maybe there’s a flag on the lift hill... maybe KIO needs a 30 foot flag on the lift hill...hmm 1 3
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Crane looks to be getting ready to move another brake run piece. Edit: Never mind it moved away from that piece, but it was at that piece getting it ready. 2

Maverick44 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I think they are actually bringing up other metal for the station building. Its hard to spot the crane doing it because they are smaller pieces and gray lol 2
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I think they just moved over the transfer track piece and now it's connected with the other track! 3
Maverick44 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The white crane is working on the station / storage shed. From watching the cam ever day I have yet to see white crane touch track? Its hard to spot but each time white goes over near track they end up with a small piece of metal for the shed/station. If we see yellow come back over we might see more supports or track go up! At least from what I've seen thus far on the cam. 3

Yep, I believe only the yellow crane has actually been used to move track. 3

I didn't get to see it - when it slid over, did it do it by itself (mechanically, like with normal operation) or with help by a crane? 1
Maverick44 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Yeah transfer track seems to be now over with the rest of the track while they work on other parts of the shed / transfer. 2

I'm pretty sure they used the white crane moved the trasnfer track into place if I'm not mistaken. 2

That you are correct. I guess i forgot about that. As for the rest of the installed track so far its been yellow crane. The past few days the white one has been working on station / shed area with small metal movement. 2
