Erection of Skyhawk

They are hooking the sign in place right now. They also put the storage containers up for the compressed air.

Is that what those blue tubes are on the sides? Are those going to stay there? They're not in the drawing.

The tubes will stay. The sign looks cool too.

You can see them in these pictures of Xtreme Swing at Valleyfair.

My god. Those tanks look horrible on Skyhawk. Why didn't they put those inside the legs?

Is that going to be an electric sign or a spot lit sign i wonder,does anybody know

For what ever it's worth and you want to talk the talk - they are called "air receivers" or just "receivers" thats what the technicans will call them. The "receivers" on Power Tower go up the center of each tower, full length.

[november 18th "Inside The Tower"] Not very much room. It would have to be put it on an angle......but it would just be in the way and impossible with the all the other hardware that's in there.
As "horrible" as it looks, they're staying there.

I like valleyfair's picture of the compressors and driers.

I think the tanks would look much better on their side in a nearby fenced off area. Then again, they do need the tanks as close to the ride as possible.

I love that logo, and to answer an earlier question, I believe it will be spot lit like most of the ride signs in the park.

S&S could have designed it with the tanks inside. Like the one at Knott's isn't it inside? Although, I'd rather have an outside "reciever" then a bulk in a leg like Knott's.

This time next year we might be talking about the new coaster going in.........

Or in a couple of months when they start on it like they did for Dragster.;)

Walt mentioned that CP asked him not to post pictures from the WWL site, maybe they already are starting construction?

Yeah, They are already installing footers ;)

Wow. I missed a lot from this week... when did they install the sign?

I think 2 days ago.
