It was open earlier that day, so I guess I just got very bad luck because all of the other telescopes where open lol.

I'm at the park right now. Not much happening but Orion is looking great though! 

Finally got to go up.

Great pictures @Enchanted Voyage Lover!

I know the outriggers on our aerial truck on my department spread out 20’, and our Bronto is 114’ tall. I hate to see what their spread is.

I only know of one local department with a Bronto. Yes, 20 is a lot, but when you have unlimited concrete space, I suppose 20 isn’t much.

Based on those photos it looks like they are staging the next lift hill supports. It will be interesting to see how they install this as it will be multiple support pieces bolted together.

Looks like no line for Orion today. Must be cause the rain.

You'd think since it's a new coaster it would have at least a small line but nope, people are so ungrateful for what KI does for us smh. 

WHen in the world did they give a tour!!!????

I had no idea they gave a tour. Nobody ever said anything about it. Also looks like some interesting questions were answered. I wonder if anyone took a video of the tour that was on it.

Yeah it says the KI engineers said they think the coaster could hit 92 or maybe 93 mph. That would be awesome if that is the case.

Right after the lift was started. 

Looks like they are about to put the second set of supports together

I love the look of low hanging fog! And I think we might see some supports being rasied today!!

I know this is off topic, but did the maintenance sheds behind Racer get painted?

Those maintenance buildings look much much better now that they have been painted.

I think this falls under Orion Construction.

It is amazing what a coat of paint can do for a building.

Wonder what a coat of paint could do to a rollercoaster (Cough cough Racer)

Wonder if they’re all heading out to see the big dog go up today?

Hey hello Monday! Lets hope we see some work done to the lift this week!

I second that! After Orion is completed, they should sell them or maybe even give them away!

Is this some kind of massive washout from the rain?  Edit:  Nevermind, that's a darn tree.  wth.

Cleo is on the move.

I think she is going to get that support off that semi.

I give the park a ton of credit.  Going to the trouble of painting those buildings is something that most people won't even notice but the attention to detail shows that the current management really finds ways to plus the area and the park overall.

I need to update the color diagram for Orion to add the bottom of the drop!

@Enchanted Voyage Lover Go figure. Lol

 

Would anybody feel like donating a Cannon EOS 90D to me? lol

 Six knows his cameras too!

I use a Canon 1DX Mark 2 at work! Its real nice but it pays itself off so it makes sense to buy for work... dont take roller coaster pics on it... ahhhh too late

I like that they painted them but I think they should have been removed and rebuilt elsewhere.
