Looks like we found where the big truck crane in the parking lot went 

 

That drop is gonna be great barely skirting across the ground like that

Look at that backbone!

The view from Lazer Kraze on Columbia Road has the lift under Diamondback's second hill

The precision of their placement still blows my mind. The lift and bottom of drop have been in place but now they add a section of drop attached to the spine but it will all line up perfectly... amazing that they don’t need to place them in sequence from beginning to end of ride like they used to. 

*please no rattle at the bottom of the drop*

Kudos to everyone who's collecting all of the photos and bringing them into one location over here!

Fox19 is at the park this morning for Vortexand Haunt. Don't have the channel here but they may give some Orion info as well.

That is the bonus B&M element.  No charge.

You would think that. Only one way to find out.

That's what i don't understand, if you take off from property that is not owned by KI, and do not fly over the park, drone footage should be allowed.

The ToS clearly state drone pictures even taken legally are not allowed. This was a direct ask from the park and the admins have decided to enforce it. The park has even asked for pictures taken legally from an airplane to be deleted and user punished up to an including a ban. For some reason the park has decided secrecy is more important then people seeing what is going on and this site is choosing to go along with it.  If you have pictures or video you can always post it some place else, but wouldn't it be a shame if that drove people away from this site?

Pretty close to the ground so my money is on a rattle. 

Whoah! It looks so beautiful! 

Well...three cranes are up via WeatherBug

We're going to completely miss the topping off.  This is ridiculous.

@LovinMeSomeBansheeYeah. But dont worry, it's a great business move. The media needs their clicks.

And they’ll be gone like a fart in the wind once this is over...

Hoping we can see the last support on the lift side finish up before the park opens tonight. Can't wait to see it in person!!!

That makes me think that windy days are just massive collections of farts!! Aaaaaaaaa!

With the days getting shorter and the weather getting colder and 3 cranes on site....yeah they are going to get as much done as they can over the next few weeks.

I think some of the posts were removed lol

I have moved the webcam discussion over to its thread again. I know it is easy to migrate to that talk here, but please keep that debate over there. Thanks!

Guess we will be seeing a skyline like that next season (and guess what's missing?):            (and yes, sorry I didn't draw Orion to scale)

It really is a mass debate now...

Rest of the support is going up... I think. Can't tell if it's lift or drop from this angle. Via WeatherBug
