Front Gate Destruction/Construction
Oh come now cedar pointer. Dont tell me that you didnt enjoy the almost never fully working T LED screen. That thing never looked tacky.
Is that the third keyhole piece on the webcam? I thought they weren't supposed to arrive till this Friday, I wonder when it's going up
When they said Friday and Monday, I think they were talking about last Friday and Today.

both pieces for the next keyhole are at the point: http://i.imgur.com/I3nQCWf.jpg

What I'm interested in is the piece of track that they had up and in position only to take it back down. Though the keyhole section did arrive shortly after that. Perhaps they didn't have the "crane time" they thought they had to get that segment up.
Or something didn't align right.........(probably not though:P)

Maybe the weather deteriorated that they had to abort the lift. Looks like they were starting to rig one of the keyhole supports and then disconnected.
It looks like they also took down a support and loaded it on a truck.

That's what it looked like to me. They had the track section up there. Then shortly before the keyhole arrived, they took it down, along with the support. Then after the keyholes and their trucks were gone, the support was disassembled and loaded on another truck.

Was the track or support taken away? I think it's easier to replace a support. I believe the rails used for the track are bent over seas so that would require more time if it needed replaced.

In this image you can see the track and the support. arrow is the track, box is the support:

Here you can see that the track was removed:

In this one, the yellow box is where the support was, and the red box is where it is now:

It looked like, in one of the videos from the Clermont plant, that they do that there as well. If there is indeed a problem, I can't imagine it's the track if the supports were disassembled.

According to On Point yesterday, the other keyhole should go up today, so keep your eyes on the webcams!

Wondering if there may have been an issue with the foundation? Concrete truck pulled up right in that area this morning.
The tower is going up, and I didn't get a Pointbuzz Text Alert Message, now I missed it! :) :)
GATEKEEPER-I came, I rode, I was mildly disappointed; until a second ride (rear left) put GateKeeper back on the...it's a nice ride list.
So can someone explain what happened with the support and the move of it? Was it the wrong place and they had to dig and pour a new foundation?
