Webcam Outage Discussion
I may be incorrect about this, but doesn't KI have wifi in the park, so if the webcams are still down tomorrow if there is no wifi that would make sense if they are doing a whole system upgrade/maintenance. Just a thought.

Orion and Fast pass
I wonder if assuming Orion is going to be FL+, will they move one of the current FL+ rides down to just FL.

Hopefully someone gets the opportunity to post a pic of the progress today. Based on the last few days of construction seems like things have really picked up pace!

That drop is so steep.

Definitely seems possible since there were a bunch of drop pieces sitting behind Artemis before it was lifted. Also I bet Cleo and T-Bone have been busy moving more pieces of the lift hill over by the big cranes.

I will say with not having the webcams up, when somebody posts a picture of the construction it is pretty exciting.

I may just be dumb, but I never realized Diamondback and Orion's lifts are basically at the same angle from a bird's eye view.

I believe that the crane in the parking lot is this model or something very similar. https://www.sterettcrane.com/pdf/Truck Cranes/Sterett-LTM-1500-164ft.pdf It does seem that a larger boom can be added to this crane to increase its height so that is what may be done to get it up to ~300 feet.

I would imagine since the brake run is pretty much done that they will probably get the supports ready to put in place for the next section of the lift. They also might place some more of the drop since they moved those pieces over on Friday.

And now Artemis is back down The construction was just baiting us.

Also just to note, the white semi and one of the forklifts have been moving four track pieces which look to be pieces of the drop over behind Artemis.

The last piece of the catwalk for the brake run has finally been put up.

Totally agree. If you watch Fury's construction one of the big red cranes was only half its max height for about a week while they put up the first portion of the lift hill. Then once they were done with that they added on the taller section of the boom.

Yes! And the track will probably go very soon after. Then all that is left is the hill/drop... One thing to mention is if you look at Artemis it looks like it already has its lower boom section done since the cables are in place, Also, the end piece of the first boom seems to be red unlike the rest of the boom which is white...

Last week we had multitasking and right now we have super multitasking going on! T-Bone unloading more track pieces, Cleo I assume getting into position for the final brake run track piece/support and Zeus helping assemble Artemis.

My guess is that this will be the final piece of the brake run as it was sitting in the same area as all the other brake run track pieces. Also, it seems like they may be assembling the final brake run support under the lift hill.
-

There seems to be no more pieces of track under the lift to be installed for the brake run so probably no more pieces of track today after this one. Also, there only really seems to be one maaaaybe two more pieces of the brake run track left to install as well as one support. That large support on the ground will also probably need to be moved before they can install the last brake run support.

I think they may be placing one of, if not the final piece of Zeus right now. That thing is gonna be tall...

Yeah! I was only an hour off on my guess

I'm just gonna predict that we will see the first piece of the brake run go up after the crews get back from lunch so around 1pm est. Edit: At the rate they are bringing in parts for Zeus today we will hopefully get to see it vertical very soon!

I think it put it on the truck bed, it's just hard to see.
