Looks Like we are going vertical

I want to point out everything that is wrong and confusing with post but it'd just feel like I'm fueling a troll.

Adam I know a guy that knows a guy who knows that we're getting 500ft tall coaster in 2013. It will use MF's green train, and the station will be theme after the Lemon Chill stand. the Lemon Chill guy will be the Team Leader its first year. Do I even need to put a winkie face?

You probably should. I thought you were serious for a second.

Cedar Point cant continue construction until th other pieces arrive at the park. Many people do not relize that was the first piece to arrive the other ons are still shipping


RIP DEMON DROP I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

People do not understanding oversize shipping cost they all have all the piece. on site in the parking lot to ship this ride on a semi truck. in the USA you have to have oversize permits. for each part and the permits only last so many hours. and for only one state so you have to get a permit for each state line you cross. and that the basic law of shipping a over sized containers or ride parts. they have to be weighted and can only take certain routes that can take that type of weight

I have been appointed by the board as an interpretor for young Shaun:

He is trying to say that in the United States of America, special permits are required to ship oversized loads from their port of call to their final destination, in this case, Norfolk, VA to Sandusky, OH. He emphasizes that this task is not easy, and that a large amount of planning has to go into this project. He also would like to note that previously he had stated that Adena Construction was not the crew that constructed the Kings Island WindSeeker, as he has inside sources.

While taking off my interpretor hat, I'd like to point out the following:

The logistics of transporting large pieces of amusement rides are nothing new to this forum or coaster enthusiasts, and there is no need to attempt to explain them, especially when you really have no idea what you're talking about and no one can understand you. Also, to say that the same crew that completed vertical construction in Mason is not the same crew that will be completing the vertical construction is an assumption, no matter how many construction workers you supposedly know. No one knows for sure, not even myself. The Dippin' Dots guy has a better reputation anyway. :)

I'll hop off my horse, but I suggest that if you want to get your point across, next time you would like to post, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the "Shift" key, the comma key, as well as gramatical structure. This has been emphasized before, and if you'd like to make a point, you're more than welcome to, however it is very difficult to comprehend what you're trying to say.

Now that that's covered, I'd like to say that I'm very excited to see the pictures from this Saturday. The tour of the site, as well as the rest of the park should be spectacular, and just in time. If they're following the same schedule, those of you attending may even be lucky enough to see a lift in progress. Here's for hoping! :)

The above post is the reason we need a "Like" button here. Well said!

Look's like the new beach gate is comming along good.


what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The post four places up, is the reason we need a dislike button here!

I'm really liking the look of the new beach entrance. It really stands out in terms of look from the others. That's something else that would be nice to see done at the park: upgraded entrances.

Interesting to see the insides of the sections.

Yeah. I'm guessing that those two sections surrounded by railing are where bundles (or whatever) of cables are routed? A tour of this ride's innards, while practically not feasible, would make for one heck of a "behind the rides" feature.

Well, I was just looking at KI's webcams. If you look at the second. (The ground level shot.) You can see the "UFO" piece that will go on top. I noticed it just looks like a skeleton at the moment. Don't know if they have to put wiring in it or something. But, it truly is as ugly in real life as it was in all the animations. :D

I guess that picture DJ linked to answers the question about where the motor will be located, at the bottom where it is currently sitting. Because of how the second piece is constructed inside, they can't lift it through that piece, so they would have to take it out again, and that isn't going to happen. I would guess that there is some sort of access door on the bottom piece like on Skyhawk's towers to get inside. Kind of odd that it would not have been spotted in any of the pictures or webcam views, at least that I remember.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

You can occasionally see the access for the tower on the left side of the base (relative to WS cam #2). It looks as though the access is at around the 10:00 or 11:00 position (again, relative to WS cam #2).


Brandon

Also, one of KI's webcam's is aimed right at the access door.

Can't even begin to guess how much is the Cedar Point charging for those oversize trailers to park in the lot!

Do those Platinum Season Passes even cover that sort of thing?
