How would they be able to tell? Is there airplane police lol all the flying makes me so curious. If you dont mind me asking how much does it cost to take off and fly over KI? Where do you take off from? Can you take passengers? Possibly Passengers with a RED camera to film ? Air traffic control can tell with radar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, we can tell most of the time. That doesn't mean we police a guy that's flying VFR. The pilot of the aircraft does not have to talk to us so long as he/she isn't in Class Bravo/Charlie/Delta airspace. I honestly don't care what Joe Pilot does flying his Skyhawk (Cessna not Cedar Point's screamin' swing). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck norris Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I live nearby. We saw a truck delivering more track this morning. Looked like the start of the lift hill piece.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to imagine that they'll start going vertical in the near future. The footers are there, and there is steel showing up. I'm still stoked for a new ride experience. Can not wait for next season I'm going to guess the Station and transfer track will be the first part to go vertical. It is the part that requires the most work even after it has been built. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you take off from? Can you take passengers? Possibly Passengers with a RED camera to film ? I literally just saw this... Yes. As a general rule, 1,000 feet for congested areas, 500 feet uncongested. Congested meaning crowded. Its actually pretty visible. Any radar in the area can tell. All KI would need to do is contact the FAA. The airplane police is the FAA. Not as much as you think. But still enough. I dont want to give our take-off location away. RED camera? What if it is BLUE? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if they had several cams because of large layout but any will be a great start.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I am going to say right around 110, you figure the normal flatbed trailer is 48 feet long, and the track pieces are roughly the same size, the track length is 5321÷48= 110 and some change. Now some track pieces could be slightly longer, or shorter, but 110 should be pretty close. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlentless Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Assuming they will start laying track for the Station and Transfer . . how many days has it been for the those footers to cure? I believe someone said there is a 28-day time to cure??? Don't remember but curious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, just hard to keep my eyes on the screen waiting, if we had some proximity sensors set up we would know when to look.

sixohdieselrage Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 @Maverick44 Just turn off your screen, close your eyes, and imagine that amazing B&M towering over Area 72 and Racer. Then, be happy we get something reliable. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
