Valravn Goes Vertical--Construction Starts

From what I can tell , the next vertical component to set is the blue supports for the first straight section of lift hill, and I do not even see those on sight yet.

The path from the marina entrance to the main mid way is being move closer to the antique cars, right? Because they just dug footers and they're right in the middle of where the marina path and midway meet. This means the trees people were wondering about are probably going to come down at some point...

Yeah those trees will either come down, or be part of the new path structure. They are joining the two paths into one single path in that area.

Edit: Also, those two supports out in the path will have concrete all around them for foot traffic.

What happened to the throne? What do you think they will do with it? My guess is that they will put it near the ride entrance next year.

Or scrap it because it was meant to promote the ride after it was announced, before it's built.

I think it's a nice decoration and makes for some good photo ops. I'd hate to see them scrap it.

It's in my office. In the corner.

You probably update the blog from the throne every week.

...and we're not talking about the porcelain throne either ;)

Oh sure, when I wanted to talk about the crown on the raven's head, nobody cared. LOL

I'm assuming they're waiting for the big crane for the lift hill. From what I recall those are hard to obtain...

Not necessarily hard, just REALLY expensive. Like......ridiculously expensive for just one day. It'll be at the park when their schedule calls for it.

Anyone else having the issue with the live cams where it just shows a black screen? The stills work fine.

I'm not getting a black screen, however I've noticed them being out of focus lately.

Currently bringing more track to the site. I'm assuming it's for the bottom of the 230 foot drop. Could be wrong though.

Just wait for it to load. It takes about 30 seconds to one minute.

I believe it is also for the bottom of the hill... there's a piece just chilling in the middle of the site

I am pretty certain that the out of focus is simply due to the winds lately.

I glad someone else has to wait for it to load. I thought it was my computer.

The last I looked, they had installed the piece that starts to curve up the lift hill. Anything since then?

Not yet.
