Didn’t they say it’ll take a big crane to erect the bigger crane ?
That doesn’t look 450 feet to me. That looks like the smaller of the two. But, I could be wrong
It’s not fully constructed yet
Those big cranes have multiple configurations, depending on lift height. They won't use the full jib boom until they need that height.
Gotcha.
I was just going by what was said. Makes sense to use 1

Oh to put the longer boom on this one they'll need a smaller crane/other equipment, but that's done with the boom nearer to ground level, not at height. They'll probably use it like this for a bit then switch as the tower grows.
Depending on how they do the lifts, they may need two cranes in the end. One for the load and the other for the man basket that holds the ironworkers. There are other options where they could stick to one crane.
F7Coasters has shots of the finished launch today....
That is a strikingly beautiful coaster!
It’s hard to tell from the pictures what it is, but I just hope this new attraction is a roller coaster
People are gonna shit on “one of the 5 tallest coasters in the world” but I think that’s better marketing than we usually get from parks. Not everything has to break some obscure record. Coasters have been around long enough that being top 5 or 10 in something is worth marketing imo
In it's current form it looks more like a launch track for Six Flags' new yet to be announced space flight program (phase 3).
Off the top of my head, this addition means Mach, Intamin and Zamperla own the crown for the top 3 tallest coasters in the world, correct?
My coaster expectations bingo card needs a revamp.

I just can’t get over how strange the support structure is so far for this tower. Mack always has some funky supports but this is really pushing it. Supper interested to see what the tower will look like in the end.
