Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Wait, I thought it was supposed to be taller than Zeus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can add to it when needed. Maybe they will start and it will get taller as we go. Maybe Artemis will be used to hold the taller supports up while Zeus and other cranes raise the track. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixohdieselrage Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Like Zeus, Artemis has a secondary boom that may be longer than the primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as some posted earlier, this model crane might not have a luffing jib option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBN Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 So I'm guessing they'll have to install the "headchopper piece of.track" first under the drop before starting the actual drop itself? I just noticed that on the layout myself anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be very surprised if they dont put at least the lowest piece in before the drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog33 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If you look closely, they picked up Artemis's boom to let Zeus cross over closer to the track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocoasterfan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If you look closely, they picked up Artemis's boom to let Zeus cross over closer to the track... Yes. I just checked the cams for the first time and I was wondering how Zeus got on the other side of Artemis.They have all the other pieces already delivered on the other side of Artemis boom by the first large lift support. I watched them deliver and store this yesterday. I don’t think Zeus could reach the far areas without moving to its current spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is because what if they install the lower portion and something happens and when they are lifting the hill somethings falls and damages the track below (headchopper portion). Idk you guys may be right. I think they can easily guide the track into place with the hill already up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
