Expand 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
