I think it’s currently in the middle. Not flush with the other track, but not completely on the other side closest to us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingshaven Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 You would think they would start moving some of the deliveries further up that way they don't have to move the pieces so far 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is plenty of room to assemble clifford where it needs to be and have some of the pieces along the treeline/road. And after haunt is over that they will start putting pieces on the other end of the work site 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Could be that is where they want all the track for right now and CSF is making room for Mako coaster track so they are asking KI to take in as much track as they can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 They should line the walkway to Field of Screams with track. Itd be a good barricade to keep people in the line. Although, some idiot would vandalize the track. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarIslander Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I've been trying to calculate how tall the start of the break run is... from what I could figure out, the breakrun itself may be taller than The Racers' lift hill. Between 90 and 100 feet? Am I way off? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So approximately 85, 86 feet tall? Edit: I was close - Kings Island cites the last hill coming into the brake run as 83 feet. Height of Hills: 287 feet, 174 feet, 202 feet, 56 feet, 147 feet, 125 feet, 90 feet, 83 feet 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I really wish the brake run wasn’t so high. It just looks odd. My only complaint about this new ride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint about this new ride. As I understand it, that is the trade off for not having a mid-course brake run. I think most of us would prefer the higher brake hill than a MCBR 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It appears that yellow crane is either done for the day or is going to move soon. ** Yellow crane is on the move! heading to station but stopped between the supports and track. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I think it looks cool as well. I have never really been on a break run that high. Fury's is the tallest for me. Its tall but not 85 feet tall lol Also it seems as if work is done for the day for yellow crane. I still see welding taking place in the shed area. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this picture on Wikipedia while looking for Leviathans break run height, I couldn't find the height of the break run, but I would love to see similar lighting on Orion except with lift LEDs.

Maverick44 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I wonder if they have to push it manually and how that's done? The electric / motors can't be installed yet right? I wonder if they have one of the cherry pickers or lifts push or pull it or if they can just push it since it can slide? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen them move it on the cams, but I assume they move it by crane or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing is white crane hasn't moved all day really. The transfer track is moving not by crane but maybe by a dozer pulling it or by some men pushing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
