Falcon's Fury

This became a double post by mistake. Sorry!

NP, was just checking as I often miss stuff on the various threads.

If it wasn't for picture [HASHTAG]#146[/HASHTAG], I wouldn't have had a guess how tall it is currently. That said, I would judge it to be 80'-100' tall in your last post of pics. Are the sections 20'?

I'm surprised. I was going to guess that at its current height it'd be somewhere on par with Montu or Kumba. Looks can be deceiving. I'm glad you all are saying otherwise, as I really want this ride to stick out into the park's skyline.

All we know for sure at this time is that there are nine sections.

Its 100 feet.. now.

A little video released by BGT . . .

New crane is ready!

From our friend Bill over at BGTFans.com . . .

^ My word, that is like an ant. It appears so skinny and fragile, yet it can presumably lift incredible weight. My sense of physics is really good, but this defies my visual mojo.

That was a great video! I love these behind-the-scenes looks, and the time lapse. Thanks for posting, Bob! :thumbs: Oh, and that's a BIIIIIIIG crane!!

 

[l-m-f-a-o]

I was watching them test and raise the crane last night.. it was pretty cool.

The size of that crane in comparison to Kumba in the background really puts a perspective on how tall this thing will be :doggie:

 

[knokout1]

This thing really is massive, the picture doesn't do it justice. There isn't a spot it can't be seen from.

 

[bobwadd]

Another module when up overnight. Check my Twitter @bobwadd1 for pics. Update later.

Very cool engineering for sure...although it does look like it's leaning to the left a little, optical illusion for sure

First blue piece is on. Sorry no pictures.

First blue piece is on. Sorry no pictures.

Here is a preview, I will save the rest until BW uploads his pics for his update. Was there today with Bob Wadd, and his saint of a wife, all I can say is it is a lot of bolts....

Thanks for waiting for me to post OF. :wave:

I'll have my shots up in the morning.

Ok, here is the first batch from Friday. I'll have shots from Saturday up in a little while.

Great shots Bob, too bad the Sky Ride was down yesterday.
