Devious 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 This is known, it has 2 supports on the lift and a truss support before the actual lift track (where it angles up for it People are confused by the temp support, but the track looks bent on the webcam a bit, which is where i think his "Gap" is coming from, there's going to be a MUCH bigger gap between the station and that first tower when the lift is done it's going to be a thing of beauty looking over the side and seeing over 300 feet of empty air under you at the top of that lift Link to post Share on other sites

Skycoastin Steve 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 THIS GRANTS SUCH PERSPECTIVE AS TO HOW BIG TIMMY IS 2 questions: 1. Why are you yelling? 2. Did you REALLY just refer to this coaster as "Timmy"?!?!?! Link to post Share on other sites

Did you REALLY just refer to this coaster as "Timmy"?!?!?! I'm not going to entertain your comment. I wrote in caps to express my excitement. Your analyzing things too much. ^^ I hope its topped off today that would be exciting. Link to post Share on other sites
kingsdominionlvr 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 A new Huge White Crane is up. I wonder if this one is for topping off the lift, as it appears to be bigger than the other two cranes. EDIT: Looks like they are preparing to put up another piece of track, get your popcorn ready.

Jness3 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Oh man, this is getting exciting! Just to clear things up for me though, does anybody know if I305 will incorporate the average Intamin looping coaster harness like the kind used on Storm Runner, Kingda Ka, Maverick,... or will it use the shoulder harnesses with the flexible straps? If anyone knows anything, your help would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

Even John Pagal (KD PR Manager) said he was not completely sure what the harnesses would be like, but most think they will be similar to the coaster in this youtube video.

That's what I thought they would use too, but I just wanted to check if anyone knew anything else. I'd be glad if they used those, at least there wouldn't be as much head banging! (if there is any.)

kingsdominionlvr 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Webcam is getting too blurry to see anything. Hopefully, they will turn the spotlights on soon! Link to post Share on other sites
Mochtroid 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Webcam is getting too blurry to see anything. Hopefully, they will turn the spotlights on soon! No movement on the Finish Line crane, they must be assembling the last two lift parts on the ground. I doubt any work tonight, they'll probably spend tomorrow getting it right and removing the temp support. Link to post Share on other sites
kingsdominionlvr 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 ^Yeah, I'd say at this point you are right. But, who knows, I am still going to watch the webcam from time to time tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, wouldn't be too good to take a video/picture for the blog of the "keystone" being assembled tonight. Oh, and maybe Novak can get a video of the topping-off. Link to post Share on other sites
kingsdominionlvr 0 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 ^ I honestly think they care more about getting it done on time than the blog or Novak. I guess we will see the lift completed today, it should look even more impressive once its lift and drop are completed. Link to post Share on other sites
