It's great that BGT are so willing to accommodate fan questions and your photography requests Bob. Very refreshing!
Yes it is! I applaud them for their openness and the way they deal with the media. Travis and Kelly, thank you for all your help. :thumbs:
Now on to a small update sent to us by Kelly . . .
Starting today, hundreds of lead blocks are being loaded plate by plate, 150 pounds at a time to create this counterweight. Once fully constructed, the counterweight will total 68 tons and be loaded inside Falcon’s Fury. This unit will counterbalance the ride vehicle, similar to how an elevator operates, to create the force to pull riders nearly 300 feet up Falcon’s Fury. And then, you know what will happen next.
