RC98 33 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yeah that's what I saw about them and that's why I was confused about them being used as theming. I only hope they don't actually use that as theming... not only is that not tribal in any way but it's completely gross! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SFGadv123 40 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I agree, that better not be the theming. Doesn't sound too pleasing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RC98 33 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Good to hear that they're starting construction earlier this year, rather than wait for the last couple of months, like they did the last few years. Maybe we could see the new ride open before Memorial Day for once? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdc12192 182 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Drove down Reed Rd today, no sign of construction, cranes etc. Maybe i will start taking trips every week or so since i live close. Edited January 5, 2014 by jdc12192 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
29yrswithaGApass 1,514 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 ^ Do they plow Reed Road? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdc12192 182 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 ^It was somewhat plowed & packed down. it looks like it was either driven over a lot or plowed to the best of their abilities. It was defiantly fine to drive on though without having to worry about getting stuck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gafreak 23 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 depending on todays weather, hey may or may not be up in the air, wind, rain wont alow them to do any type of high lifts, and tomorrow with the extreme cold im not sure if they will work up in the air Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was a small crane on site but did not see anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdc12192 182 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Two cranes on site today. One small one that i saw the other day, and one big one, almost the full height of KA. It looked to be about as high as zumanjaro appears it will be. Didn't notice any activity or parts moving while i was there. I did attempt to take some photos but it was on my iPhone so bare with the quality, I'm uploading them now and will try to edit them somehow to point out the cranes.  Edit- here are the photos    Edited January 8, 2014 by jdc12192 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RC98 33 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 It took a while for me to see it, but it's cool to see that the Ka tower modification for Zumanjaro has finally begun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SFGadv123 40 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I actually had to look at another picture of ka to see what the modifications were, but I see it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gafreak 23 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 from the back side out across 537 it appears that they are adding more spines to the ground also going from 3 to 6 but from a distance looks could be deciving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gafreak 23 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Â looks like an additional spine has been added from here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdc12192 182 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) ^Compared your photo to this one i found on google and it looks to be about the same and that the photo is just messing with our eyes. Â Edited January 15, 2014 by jdc12192 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SFGadv123 40 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Looked like it for a second, but after seeing jdc12192's photo I think he is right that it is the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
