Not sure why you are so concerned about this. He hasn’t done anything illegal. He seems to have a legit photography business and this was likely to get clicks to it. I wouldn’t personally do it because I don’t have a drone or drone license but he’s free to do what he wants legally. Just don’t post it on KIC.

I’m concerned since a moron is giving enthusiasts, who do follow the rules, a bad name. Just because the person doing it is a business owner doesn’t mean they can ignore the rules of other companies.

The fortunate thing is the park knows exactly who that guy is and already don’t like him, so every time the sh-t hits the fan for that guy KIC doesn’t necessarily get splattered. 

Absolutely. He’s the same guy that was trying to bribe people into illegally recording POVs on Orion.

Yep, it seems he has multiple photography corporation pages on FB, as he links it to same YT account.

Can’t wait to see it topped off, hopefully some kind of documentary is filmed like fury

Ah, from the wording in that tweet, it sounds like it won’t be topped off today.

Looks like its raining there right now looking at the weatherbug cam

It's not really safe working conditions with the winds today. Between the rain, and the winds a 300' in the air it's quite dangerous. Looking at the forecast, Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday look like the safest days this week to lift. I lay watermain, and with a 10 mph wind, it's hard to lay 12" c900 at times. I could only imagine lifting a 1 ton+ piece of track 280' feet in the air with these winds.

287’   (yes I’m aware the cranes are higher then that)

Yes that is the top height of the hill, but the crest of the "arch" has to be lowered in place, so the track piece could easily be dangling at 300' to clear the workers and the existing track

Just finished watching the one done by DOMA if that's the one you're talking about. I really enjoyed the construction process being shown in a semi-decent aspect. I've always been fascinated with these big coaster jobs. Just like giant Lego Technic!  

well today i am guessing there will be no progress made. They may not even be on the work site if its supposed to rain all day.

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny so I'm guessing we'll see plenty of work then. It's also supposed to get really cold over the next several days. I believe Don during an interview during Banshee's construction said that the really cold helps the workers since the ground isn't as muddy and stayed hard. 

Here is a link to the interview: 

 

Well dawg gummit throw the top that bad boy up there with a forklift or something

@Maverick44 That a new profile pic? Is your old one down for maintenance ?

Like the pic man!

It looks like it should stop raining in an hour or so. I would imagine they get some work done later today even if it's just staging more pieces for the top off.

By maintenance, do you mean a part is broken that will take several months to replace as it is manufactured overseas?

Hey now....why does everyone gotta pick on me for liking certain roller coasters!

 

All you B&M lovers are Bor**g  just like their coasters. 

I live a few minutes from the park and the skies are clearing up. Here's to hoping we see something happen today!

Edit: Looking at the weatherbug, it looks like they are putting in a drop piece!!

Edit: Here is a screenshot from the weatherbug:

Seeing orion from the entrance will be insane! 

The difference from the Weather Bug cam and that photo  are drastic. The cam makes it look way far off in the distance. The pic here make it look like this thing is towering over International Street haha

It may get topped off today after all!
