Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Looks like Local 12 wanted to be @sixohdieselrage https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157452589336992&id=100764596991 6
sixohdieselrage Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I'm legit about to post pictures that park management doesn't want let out in spite of this. Kentucky Kingdom definitely has better media relations. They at least invite the right people. 6

The thing of note is that it’s clear that they have a piece of support ready for another section of the lift hill. Hopefully that will go up by this weekend! 5 1
Maverick44 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 ^^ That video quality is terrible. Unless my work computer isn't playing it right. @sixohdieselrage is much better then that armature crap. haha 4

It's got some great information from Jeff Gramke himself! https://www.wvxu.org/post/your-first-behind-scenes-look-kings-islands-orion-giga-coaster#stream/0 Three cranes are mentioned in the article, does this mean two more cranes are coming? 3

There also appears to be the next piece of the drop side being moved over to where it's going to live, which is odd, it seems late in the day to still be throwing around track pieces. 3 1
sixohdieselrage Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Seriously Kings Island.... You want to show off your new shiney toy. But you chose the worst people to invite. At least have a couple enthusiasts to go along. I mean, what does it say to have people(the media) broadcasting stuff that isnt accurate/credible? For example, who cant tell the difference between a maintenance shed (shush, you nitpickers. Lol) and a station? I could go on and on, but this isnt the right thread. 4 3
Maverick44 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I would love to be invited and have it shared by Coaster Conquest. That way you can also share to enthusiasts as well as the GP. @sixohdieselrage I feel ya man! Edited October 7, 2019 by Maverick44 4
Kodistict Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 It looks like two drop spine pieces are being assembled, could we possibly be seeing those pieces being installed tomorrow or the next day? 3

I am thinking they are putting together all the sections they can so they only need to use Zeus a couple of days. I could see T-Bone and Cleo putting section together while Zeus puts them in place so they can work quickly. So Zeus isn't there more then a few days. 2

Are you referring to the white crane in the parking lot? 1

Yeah Zeus will be the big guy crane now on the wood crane pad. We don't have Clifford here for Orion. Unless he comes later. 1

CedarIslander Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 That drone video from WKRC was awesome! 1
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 They’re working late today. The crane’s still going. 4

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Here is John Matarese's news story: 10
teenageninja Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Really surprised they let John walk around with his hardhat on backwards, they aren't certified by OSHA to be worn backwards. 4
Shaggy Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 There’s something about that Matarese guy that rubs me the wrong way. Well, several things actually. I don’t trust him. 8 1 2
