So. Just curious, how manny different cranes were used to assemble DB and Fury?

From what a friend that works in ride opperations told me is that the trim brake was used only if the ride sensors indicate that the ride was going to fast before that point (easy to do as it was a magnetic brake) and that it was rearly used. Apparently it was removed and replaced one that had failed on DB, although I'm not 100% sure on that part.

What version of CAD are you using. Or is that inventor?

Two years as a structural steel designer, and have worked on permits for several steel buildings around the country. I can read them, but it would be easier to have the original size print (most likely an 24×48) that way I can use a scale ruler on it baced on the notes scale.

The supports are kicked out to the left side of the track in the yellow box, the others have the kick out to the right. Just my guess because there is a straight line going through a set of supports if the slanted part of the support on those two columns are opposite of the rest.

Hey, look at the words at the bottom of the bottom of the poster and the name of the books. And can someone at the park get some zoomed in pictures of where they are digging? Thanks

This would depend on how it the collaborating party. If B&M is the primary company and RMC is working under them the it is not out of the realm of possibility the only B&M being on the paperwork. But if this is just how I would look at it.... I do have some construction and design background, but I did very little the paper trail side of things

Hate to burst your bubble but please look through Gatrkeeper's construction pictures and Valraven. That appears to be a new thing on most of the newer B&M foster models. The key will be the base of the column exiting the first drop, the Gigas are the only ones that feature that type of footing at both pre lift and post drop locations.

The Xbase area isnt big enough to be its own area and in most cases is considered part of Coney Mall for this kind of things till it expands more.

It will seem to go quick! thats why they have the tv in the que now, right?

And now watch as the ridership of MT skyrockets with coaster enthusiasts looking for clues in the shed. Lol, and back to the 4+ hour wait.

Spelling it out wasn't what i had in mind, i was thinking about other things like small special effects, adding small items, and other things like that.

What if thats how KI start dropping hints about there next big coaster, By hidding hints in the shed for MT? Now there is an interesting thought

Thank you for this usefull information. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Does any one know if you can use the all season cup from Kings Island up at Cedar Point? My wife and I are planning a trip up there and was just wondering if anyone knew anything about using the Kings Islands cups up there or if we need to buy ones up there. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Can someone repost those so we dont have to try to go back through and find it next time, please Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

One thing that you have to look at is that the bents are constructed with larger than standard members. Replacing the headers with RMC's headers will require more modification to their system and the supports already in place. Yes it is possible, but to retrofit RMC on an old Arrow mine train will have challenges like nothing they have ever done before. I can see it being done but it would not be like the others they have done, it would have to remain a kid friendly ride. And for that reason I don't see it being converted. And I am well aware of lightning rod with it being a family ride. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'm still connected to DB Web cam and it's working fine Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

^wonder if they did decide to move it or if the weather got to one of the connection points Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Has anyone else been having problems viewing the Web cam? It's been down since noon for me. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I believe that it is still there. Just the angle of the camera and the angle of the roof are similar so it might give the appearance that it isn't there. The best way to tell is look at the shadow in the early morning. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Hey, if you guys look at the DB Web cam they have footings heading towards the shed finished. Looking at it most of the shed will be inside of the RR tracks and the station just outside of them. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Because they are so tall and flexible that it is safer to lift it in two pieces than one large piece and risk the piece flexing to its braking point. That and there is a weight limit for the crane that's a factor too. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I think they are going to build a stack of bents first. If you can see the top of the bent the angle is nearly flat, and it would be difficult to support a single tall bent with out it swaying or the support of other bents already in place. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Has anyone noticed that the number of footings for the lift are nearly triple what the leaked plans show? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
