LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 This was Clifford on Banshee's construction cam. 3
FreedomPenguin Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Is the white Clifford the same thing but white? or are the colors symbolization's of the class. 4

I would guess the crane being assembled now is a lot taller than the crane that was used to build Banshee. According to the specs someone here posted, the crane being assembled now can reach over 360 feet. Clifford wasn't that tall. 4
Maverick44 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I take we DO NOT have Clifford with us for Orion. We have RONALD! haha 3 1

collin.klopfstein Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Oh ok so apparently Kings Island is ahead of schedule! 3
CedarIslander Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I'm still gonna call him Clifford, because my boss's name is Ronald... and I don't like the idea of my boss building Orion. Nope. 1 3
fyrfyter Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Oh ok so apparently Kings Island is ahead of schedule! That shouldn’t really be a surprise, with our extra month of “summer” 5

The article says it will be up by the first week of November. There’s probably a weeks worth of work just to put the crane together. 4
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I believe what they meant was that they hope to have the lift topped off by the first week of November. It takes a while to get to that point because they connect both the lift and drop together. 6

Maverick44 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Yeah B&M lift hill track is massive. Even the course track is large. 2
