Catwalks and such

The station is not going to be 60' off the ground. It's been speculated that the end of the launch track is going to be that high. It makes sense. The achieve a higher speed, you need a longer launch track. To get a constant incline, to allow the trains to roll back to the station, you need the end of the track to be higher.

Florida may have Disneyworld and Key West,
but Ohio has Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay.
It's great to live in Ohio!

There is another catwalk just as big as the one already up laying on the ground by the tower as we speak. Where might that be going?

Welcome back Magnum riders how was your ride?

Perhaps they will have catwalks periodically up the tower since it would be a brutal ladder climb up and down without anyplace to stop. They could be able to inspect the tower more readily with multiple catwalks for the high parts of the ride. Instead of a "lift box" like on MF, they could just have several platforms.

there are two more "K" support pieces that fit in the center of the "catwalk"... im guessing they will be at the top of each level in the tower until it peaks out at the top

Do you think the red box trusses on the flat beds are crane "extenders"? From far away they look as though they would fit on the crane in the park.

Look at this picture of the red boxes. http://www.virtualmidway.com/popup/mysterypopup6001.asp?image=attraction101.jpg&title=Mystery%20Attraction

Now look at this picture of the red crane by the tower. http://www.virtualmidway.com/popup/mysterypopup6001.asp?image=attraction153.jpg&title=Mystery%20Attraction

It looks like those boxes will be added onto that crane if they haven't been already.
