I think you guys just make people up to be mad at. I don't know a single person expecting a strata coaster after slop spire, which is good because they won't get it
News Project 2027/Skyland/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
I would love to see two more coasters after Spire. A thrill multi launch like velocicoaster themed to a tiger could be the “spiritual successor” to Ka and would be a great addition to a revamped golden kingdom. Next, we need a family wooden coaster like rolling thunder in frontier adventures or around the lake.
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).
