Well they don't move The Beast when fireworks go off, so I doubt that is the issue. 

 

I would assume it will close due to the location unfortunately. 

Yeah it probably will close for fireworks like Beast does. Especially since it is located right next to the launching pad. 

Some very high quality photos here of the new construction today:

It’s showing up fine on my phone.

You’re not. There’s a standoff distance listed in the Fire Code as well as the NFPA 1123 guide for fireworks. It depends upon the size of the shell used as to how far the minimum distance is that the “crowd” can be. Anything closer or in close proximity must be shut down during the fireworks display and 20 minute “cool down” after the display is over.

They could always move the launching location elsewhere...

It's showing on my phone, but not my computer. I have a Samsung, maybe that has something to do with it?

Hmmm... I don't know. Can someone try PMing me the photos, see if I can get them that way?

Not at all! That was a logical counterargument.

But yeah, I was mainly thinking about proximity to the fireworks. Fireworks debris could be an issue. Or, similar to what @fyrfyter said, perhaps there are codes or laws regarding proximity to fireworks that they have to follow.

Apperently this is at Cedar Point ...... wow

I'm guessing the crews don't usually do much on the weekends because I didn't really see them do much on the weekends.

But Millennium Force isn't 312 feet. lol

Sorry for the double post, but there is a truck bringing in another support piece.

But Millennium Force isn't 312 feet. lol

Maybe there’s a flag on the lift hill... maybe KIO needs a 30 foot flag on the lift hill...hmm

Crane looks to be getting ready to move another brake run piece.

Edit: Never mind it moved away from that piece, but it was at that piece getting it ready.

I don't believe they're ready to install any more track yet.  There are no more supports installed at the moment.

It was at the piece getting it ready, but it moved away from it. 

I think they are actually bringing up other metal for the station building. Its hard to spot the crane doing it because they are smaller pieces and gray lol

I think they just moved over the transfer track piece and now it's connected with the other track!

The white crane is working on the station / storage shed. From watching the cam ever day I have yet to see white crane touch track?  Its hard to spot but each time white goes over near track they end up with a small piece of metal for the shed/station. If we see yellow come back over we might see more supports or track go up! At least from what I've seen thus far on the cam.

Yep, I believe only the yellow crane has actually been used to move track.

I didn't get to see it - when it slid over, did it do it by itself (mechanically, like with normal operation) or with help by a crane?  

Yeah transfer track seems to be now over with the rest of the track while they work on other parts of the shed / transfer.

I'm pretty sure they used the white crane moved the trasnfer track into place if I'm not mistaken.

That you are correct. I guess i forgot about that. As for the rest of the installed track so far its been yellow crane. The past few days the white one has been working on station / shed area with small metal movement.
