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

I think it actually makes sense to have buildings there, if "Area 72" is supposed to be a secret research base.

thats what i was thinking they should do also

Thank you to @sixohdieselrage, @Enchanted Voyage Lover for the great pics this past weekend!

Haha you can see chad and them down there by the drop!

Not sure if anyone is interested, but i like looking at this stuff, here is everything you could want to know about the large crawler crane, as well as the truck mounted crane currently in the parking lot.

Stuff is so confusing

Should answer some questions i saw recently about how large of a footprint the cranes need, it shows weight etc. Like i said more than anyone would probably care to know.

They are starting to connect the next supports together on the ground.

First set of supports are connected, now 2 more to go!

I'm guessing the supports laying on the ground as is are not complete.  I'm guessing both legs will each have an additional section bolted on to make them the correct height.

I meant 2 more pieces to be added to the support that is on the ground

Is that one of the cranes coming in?  Or a part of one?

I'm imagining work is about to become fast and furious this week.  They don't want those cranes on-site any longer than they have to be because they're super expensive.  I have a feeling the next week or two will be ridiculous in how much progress is made.

Cliffords white brother Ronald is moving into position on the crane platform!

 

btw I made up his name lol

There's the Kings Island PR team out there touring some more.  They're over by T-Bone at the moment.

John Matarese is there!

It's pretty rediculous how some media outlets can do that, but not others. Like, if it were Kentucky Kingdom, some of us would be able to go.

It is so weird to see it so close to the ground. I can not wait to see how this looks like riding it.
