Project 2022: Pantheon

[halfabee]

$500/day (not including getting it there and out again)... seems very reasonable for access to its impressive capabilities.

Out of curiosity I found a picture of the crane I took and from what I could see it's rented from WO Grubb. Upon zooming in on the picture I could pretty much make out a decal of the model of the crane even though it was fuzzy from zooming in. So went to Grubb's website and found it's a crawler crane and from the number in the model that I could make out the only one they show that matches is the Terex/Demag CC-1500 which is a 330 ton crane. There is no mention as to how much this costs to rent but just a pure guess based on some other rental figures I found I'll guess it's around $15K/month. And that doesn't include delivery and setup along with removal.

We actually already discussed the crane earlier in the thread based on the permit for it's use. It's a Manitowoc 2250 with a luff attachment. It is rented from W.O. Grubb

I'm really excited to the see the progress that they have made this week. It's really been fun watching this thing get built. It's one of the most visible coaster projects that I've seen at BGW. Normally they are more hidden from guest view than this one is.

That may be what they applied for there on the permit but it's not what they got for the crane. I cropped the picture of the crane and off to the left you can make out the model number and on the counter weight you can see the make name Terex on the weights. So they didn't get the Manitowoc.

Now you can see it from the entrance ramp the vertical spike looks awesome even from 60

I'm not saying it's impossible for them to have changed the crane. I'm just telling you what's on the permit for the crane.

the whole spike is done and is looking pretty impressive. Looks like the launch track is coming along nicely too!

[AlpenChariot]

I'm mostly curious as to whether or not the trident is actually on the spike as shown in the concept art

I just got here ill snag one Spike kind of looks like a radio tower

Interesting that the spine doesn't continue all the way up to the top of the spike. Saving money where they can I suppose.

Cell tower confirmed? And it will most likely not make it that high up, that’s the reason for the spine not continuing.
