maXair Structure on site

if you guys look at the lower part of the arm (on the updated construction photos on the CP site) you can see the "X" logo on it...it looks pretty cool

The X logo is NICE! Hopefully the wheel will go up and some testing will begin...May 7th... (unless you're cool)

The drive motor for the rotation is presumably on the arm, so it's not any more complicated than running cables/hoses down the center. I don't know how the contact is made to power the seats. If they want to monitor the position of the seats at all time (and I think they do on the giant topspin), then there's some kind of electrical bus on the hub always making contact to the wheel.

Thanks, Pete. Did they remove the big people side then?

Yes, the big people side is the one that is gone.

A little off topic, but CP has added maXair to their park map. :)

There adding the thigns the seats connect on to.

They put the old games to the plaza across from Raptor too.

i thought today was a holiday...

its a "bank"iday. The only ones who have today off work for banks or the government.

Look they are bringing the seats on to the site now.

Don't forget schools JuggaLotus! ;)

you have got to be kidding....and we wonder why our education system has so many problems.

Yup, I'm off today and Friday we have off for teacher inservices. They get two a year off to learn how to teach us. You should hear some of the nice comments my teachers make about it. WHAT THE F***, I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN TO TEACH A BUNCH OF D*** B****** WHEN THEY REALLY SHOULD BE IN MILITARY SCHOOL

Teacher inservices make sense, but some of the holidays that are given off just make no sense. The one that really gets me is MLK. Wouldn't it make much more sense to keep the kids in school and teach them about Dr. King? Instead they get to sleep in and do nothing and learn nothing about him.

Check the web cams cause the seats are going on now!

Looks like maXair will be finished today.

Will the control booth be on that cement pad that's between the two rightmost legs?

You mean except for the floor, wiring, compressors, pumps and control system?

I think he ment the structure will be completed.

The seats look cool

My university is closed today for snow. : ) Thank you, Great Lakes. Haha.
