For y'all interested in cold weather concrete pouring:

And we didn't have that many cold days in a row to have that type of effect. I would say the weather and pouring likely didn't have that big of an effect. I would say based on experience that the rebar is what's caused the issues.

Thanks for this. I know very little about that kind of stuff so I was hesitant to share what I had heard because I didn't want to give any false information due to my lack of knowledge. Figured I'd share anyway on the chance some on here would be more familiar with engineering and such.

Are you asking "right on who!" or are you saying "right on Quebec!"
I ask becuase if the former, unless ,"who," is a proper noun this sentence is interogative and should end in a question mark. In the case of the later, If you meant, "Que," the abbrivation for Quebec then you should capitalize the word "que." In either case the sentence does not make much sense and you might consider a revision.

Hold on though... presuming for a moment that the "que" is Spanish, it translates to an interrogative "what" rather than "who." Same conclusion applies in this case: sentence should end with a question mark. But "que" also translates into the conjunction "that," implying that the sentence has simply been left incomplete, thus any sentence-ending punctuation in that specific location is inappropriate. And as a third possibility, "que" can also be the pronoun "that," which might be construed as a valid use if one squints just right and doesn't mind the extreme awkwardness of the phrasing (in the approximate spirit of "nice job pal!" or "you go girl!" or "right on Quebec!").

So madmax may be assembling that sentence correctly, or maybe incorrectly, or otherwise just needs to complete it with a subordinate clause before it can be evaluated.

It's such a relief to conclusively get to the bottom of something.

Thank you for the Spanish lanuage correction. I thought it was "what," but when I looked it up it said, "why." I took French and did not do very well. I agree with your summery, the sentence structure is probably to blame here. I suspect comma placement may also be contributing to our issue.
 
I just hope madmax won't stop posting here as a consequence of our collective benign idiocy. Keep posting, my man!

Regarding the Flyer, to bring this back on topic: were I the JCC inspector in question, I would refuse to sign off on FF until the park published a full rendering of the post-construction stream area, featuring lush trees and attendant visual idyll just below the level of the ride platform. Maybe a nice, respectable elm down there. Do it up real good-like, putting themselves on record with something other than an eyeful of bluff concrete face and/or reclusive air tanks.
 
Well it's not like we were promised it would be done by preview day; and the structure of the ride itself will be assembled pretty quickly since it's just a few large pieces to bolt together.

Again...I never said it was. My point was that I assumed by now there would be some vertical progress, I know once assembly starts it will go pretty fast but I personally thought by preview day they would be close to what looked like a finished attraction with final assembly, electrical and testing to still be done. In the photos it does not appear to be any workers on site.

So the post above about it passing inspection is true? But it said retaining wall footers....so that would not be the main structural suports of the ride but something else? Could the old existing retaining wall need to be brought up to code now that its been disturbed with this construction? So many questions.....
