Maverick44 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I second that! Good morning and also am hoping we see some activity at the worksite! 4
JonahWilliamson Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Chilly morning up here in Buffalo, warm coffee and orion cam. Lets get itt 4
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 What in the world is going on here? Tree trimming? 2

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 So we have three cranes on-site now, not including Zeus: Cleo, T-Bone and another white crane similar to Cleo that's by the lift hill. They are raising the first section of Zeus's boom! It also looks like they've put in supports for the station. You can see the backbone section in quite a bit of detail with the sun at this angle. You can see where the piece attached to the backbone with track separates from it. 4
Rockfrog33 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 If you look closely, the small white crane has started the vertical construction for the station building..... Edit.. lovinMeSomeBanshee beat me to it.. 3
Maverick44 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Station building has been started! Whohooo! 3
silver2005 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Looks like they're working on the brake run pieces, too. 4
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 They are lifting a piece of track. Probably just moving it aside, but it appears to be brake run track, so who knows. 2
silver2005 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 ^The probably need to have space around it to attach the catwalk before lifting it into place. Its a brake piece for sure though. There's that big gap between the rails and the backbone which allows for the brakes to sit in. Don't see a support in place quite yet though. 2
Beast Night Rider Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Cleo is moving track in place behind the station...looks like it could be track right before the turn around into the station... 1
jimlaheyscar Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Is this station really going up before West Coast Racer's station? lol 1 4

So I think the white crane holding the crane is no Cleo. That one seems to connected to a truck. Cleo is over by Zeus still. 2
JonahWilliamson Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Is there a technical issue with West Coast Racers or an actual reason for the delay?

JonahWilliamson Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Six flags only read to chapter 10 so 3 8 1

Clifford is all red not just the boom. This is not Clifford due to the actual cab of the crane being white. This is Zeus! 4
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 And Clifford was a different type of crane. Far shorter and with less of a load capacity. 4
Kenban Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 39 minutes ago, JonahWilliamson said: Is there a technical issue with West Coast Racers or an actual reason for the delay? The rumor was that there were major issues with the rides supports. I have heard everything from having to completely remake the supports to it being redesigned at the last minute before fabrication. Not exactly sure but everything I have heard suggests support problems, which with the first pieces not showing up until February there was likely an issue with fabrication. I remember joking a few months ago that Six Flags would announce the 2020 attractions before it opened, which did turn out to be true. At this point I believe it will be 2020 before it opens, and if the claim by Kings Island that they will have the track done in January, and will try to cycle Orion by February holds, there is a decent chance construction will be done before it opens. 4

That's pretty scary if you ask me lol I thinks its premier rides I wonder who had to fork out the cost of remaking supports? SF or PR? The 2020 coasters will probably be open for WCR. haha
JonahWilliamson Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Imagine the 2020 Golden tickets best new ride ends up being West Coast Racers lololol 3

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Looks like they are doing something with a support. 3
Maverick44 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 ^^ Yeah looks as if they are placing a break run support in place. Maybe they will start the break run now until Zeus is ready. 3
