This is why I love pointbuzz. The quality of updates. You guys spoil us.

I know we aren't supposed to quote like this, but I felt this was "quotable". Well said.

Just checked a google earth street view shot of Clermont Fabricators and noticed there is a ton of coaster track in the parking lot. Curious as to how many other projects this company has done in the past.

I know that Clermont is the only fabricator for B&M for North America, but they have also done some for Asia as well. I haven't heard or any other fabricator, so they might be doing all B&M coasters worldwide

They didn't do Iron Wolf, the first one, and I'm not entirely sure that they do the rides for Europe. I could be wrong.

I would be surprised if they do the ones for Europe.

Seems like an unneccessary additional shipping cost if they do.

IIRC, there were pictures of China's Wingrider at the Batavia plant.

Does anyone know when delivery of the keyhole is coming?

You didn't even make it 24 hours..When it gets here, I assume we'll find out.

Your right Cody....lol. Alright, I'll start over from 5:20 pm until tomorrow at this time. :)

When the video & more pictures of the keyhole towers from the plant be available to view? Ian interested to see that video & more pictures from the plant. Jeff can you tell me if those towers are all steel or do they contain other materials besides steel. I am very interested to know more about those towers.

I have read on cedarpoint.com from John Hilbrant those keyhole towers should arrive at the park by the last week of January.

They are doing a story on the Clermont Steel plant tonight on Fox News 28 tonight, just thought I'd add to the topic...

There was also an article in the Medina Gazzette Newspaper yesterday. It had a picture of Matt Oumitt standing near by a keyhole with a rep from Clermont.

Those keyholes are going to be sweet.

Thank you Aaron for posting that. It feels great to know that this roller coaster is being made here in Ohio instead of overseas. :)

How many other coasters at the park are Ohio-made?

Just B&M, Raptor and Mantis. It sounds like Ouimet wants to keep working with B&M in the future which is great to hear.

Oh you mean like in a spot like the one SOB sat on? ;)

I never understood why King's Island took so may years to get a B&M when the factory is so close to them.
