 So we have a construction update coming out of Six Flags Great America for MaxForce, which is opening in 2019 For those of you that don't know anything about MaxForce, feel free to check out our channel We have some MaxForce videos on our channel or head on over to Six Flags Great America's YouTube channel as well to catch Some videos of that. I'll link that down below and then I'll also link Evan's Instagram account who sent in this footage So not too much is going on over at Six Flags Great America yet But what's exciting is the prep work. So the prep work tells you a lot So so far it looks like in the storage area or waiting to be installed You have these footing caps right here for those of you that remember Carolyn's construction These are one of the first things that showed up. There's some digging equipment along with that It's a very small digging equipment. So I have a feeling that's just to dig the actual footings themselves But there are a ton of footing caps Which any of you who again remember the caroens construction know that that means it's about to go full force And as we see with caroens, it's moving rapidly and this project will probably move extremely rapidly as well So on top of having the footing caps over at Six Flags Great America They have a little bit of land clearing going on in a Couple of sections of the park So you have a smaller section with land clearing and then you have some massive sections with land clearing and obviously That the massive one I'm guessing and correct me down below of your home park Six Flags Great America And I've messed up anything again This isn't my park and whenever I do a construction update for the first time on a park that I haven't done before I do make a lot of mistakes and then I go and research the area But this is I'm assuming this is the path of the coaster and the station area and the bigger portion of the Coaster is the bigger land clearing that's just an assumption So feel free to comment down below if I made a mistake But there's definitely a lot of land clearing now the red flags Actually indicate now on construction projects electrical wires. They actually don't indicate dig here It's actually a warning like there's an electrical wire here. So be careful when digging whereas back in the day if I'm Correct it meant dig here. So whenever you see a flag it actually means electrical wire Our red flag means electrical wire. It could also be yellow whenever you see a red steak that does indicate something is meant to go there So red steak something's meant to go there red flag electrical wire beware That's what I understand from construction so far and that's from asking construction people on projects around now What's interesting about Six Flags Great America is This I believe and correct me again below it this all started as of last week So this is all fresh Construction and that's pretty impressive. So not only do we have land clearing and the footing caps We have rebar cages that have been formed. So you have the crane there that's carrying a rebar cages And then you have the assembly area So one thing I do know about coaster construction projects now is Rebar arrives in massive stacks as you just saw the like poles almost and then they form them into that into those Rebar cages using a machine that they feed them through to bend the rebar and then they kind of like almost like knit The steel or the rebar Into those rebar cages that then will go into a hole that they dug for the footing And then they'll pour cement into that and the rebar cage actually helps form and hold in place the cement for the footing So that's as much as I know right now about How to make a footing for a coaster, but a quick lesson for those of you that don't know So not too much else going on over at six like three America in terms of construction for max force All I do know is so we again we have the land clearing you have the footings That are probably being dug out you have the rebar cages being formed And that does take quite some time to form a lot of those rebar cages So that's probably gonna be another week or two to form those but they don't form them all at once They form them in groups where they're working and you're gonna have them digging footings You're gonna have the footing caps going in Once they start pouring cement and land clearing looks like it's off to a pretty decent start I have a feeling they'll probably be done that in a week if they're all doing it at once Some coaster construction projects do small land clearing sections at a time like Canada's Wonderland It's section by section and that's because of seasonal operations And then you have some parks like Caroline's where they're able to land clear the entire section at once and then go full force So it all depends on the coaster project itself So here's some overview shots of the construction project for max force again This is one of my most excited projects of 2019. Hopefully you enjoyed this video. I'm sure there'll be more for max force Stay tuned for other coaster construction projects for Yukon striker and copperhead strike Thanks for watching guys hit that like button subscribe You haven't and share this video for others to enjoy and as always Thanks for watching. Have a good one guys. Bye
