@Drachenwolf, I’m not sure why you consider the concept of expertise to be a punchline.
Would an English or Theatre degree count?
At the park twice this weekend, observational notes:
1. What a messy jobsite, not just talking about due to rain, I mean in general; like materials laying around disorganized.
2. Foundations are probably about 75-80% complete
3. The logistics plan appears to be to work their way out of the site to the point by the train tracks. I would expect a crane to show up sometime beginning of October, it will most likely be staged in the center area of the ride, they will erect everything from that point except for the area of the wall stall and final run into the brakes, the crane will then leave and the final track will be installed from outside the perimeter of the ride. I would guess that the first area erected will be your station, first launch section, and transfer tracks (this releases other trades to commence work while erection is still ongoing). From there the first large vertical area erected will be the tophat and drop.
Curious to see how accurate I am.

Job sites at this stage in construction often do look messy. The project manager has a plan for where everything is laid out and why it is where it is. Once all the foundations are finished in the next coming weeks everything will look more organized to people looking in on the site.
If they are following PMBOK they have already run an analysis of alternatives, sorted oout all failure modes, done a lean/ JiT study (which clearly they are ignoring if they are warehousing materials!), built out endless GANT charts, and even are building deliverables.
... Yeah I need to lay off the PMP books for a while ...

Sorry, failed to mention, I am a PM for a very large GC. And it is a messy jobsite, regardless of the stage of construction.
Yes it is Gantt chart. As far as safety goes, it is definitely a difficult task at this stage with so much earthwork involved. From my views, there are certainly some suspect areas where earth sloping is probably not adequate around their footings. A construction fence around the entire site with a windscreen would certainly help hide things to general public. Henderson is doing the work, they are a "smaller" (small being relative to what I am used to) local GC, they tend to do a lot of the work up at Busch and WCUSA.
Can we just block Drachenwolf already since he’s just here to troll
Censorship through negative reaction emojis is more fun anyway
*Insert witty comment about my art degree and Pantheon's Color Scheme here*
OT: not trying to be... you mentioned PMP... I'm very familiar with Gantt charts, but haven't done PMP, so didn't know whether "GANT" was a special PMP version or not.
More to the topic... looking forward to the crane arrival. If early October turns out to be accurate, they should be able to make substantial progress this fall.

Unless I'm mistaken the permit for the crane already tells us what crane they will be using. According to the permit it is a Manitowoc 2250 with a luff attachment. During the day it can be used at up to 300 feet in height and at night when stored it will be at 150 feet
If that's correct then according to a Google search the crane should look like this:
