 Righty, so I'm coming at you with an extremely exciting construction update. It is finally happened. The lift hill is starting and it has finished. Well okay, that was a little bit of an exaggeration there. The first piece is finished and I also want to let you guys know I am definitely doing my research on terminology and how things work because it seems to be requested by a lot of the hardcore enthusiasts and I want to be doing these construction updates for everyone. So to start it off, you see two cranes here. You see a dark yellow one and then you see the lighter yellow one. The dark yellow one is what's called a 620 ton crane and that is what's lifting the lift hill in place. So this crane is responsible for all the heavy lifting which actually surprised me as the bigger crane, the slightly bigger crane right there, looked like it would have been the more heavy lifting parts of the coaster but it's actually not. So that taller lighter yellow one that isn't being used in this shot is actually a 275 ton crane. So it looks like this heavy duty crane right in front of us, the 620 ton crane will be doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the coaster and as you can see here and later on in my footage it is doing all the heavy lifting on its own. I also want to point out that if you look closely, every little bit of detail for the lift hill is installed. They pre-installed the staircase and the netting and the supports for the staircase and the fun liquor, that's the name of the elevator shaft going up the coaster and then what this crane does and how it's able to lift one piece of track is actually called chain falls. So the chain falls hold the track piece at a specific elevation so as you see here the track piece is already at the exact elevation it needs to be 47 degrees for quick and easy install. So the chain falls are attached to the other side of the lift hill and it helps keep the track perfectly at 47 degrees. So as they slowly move this piece on over it's essentially like Lego and fits in perfectly to the support structure so that's a v-frame support structure. The next one going in will be an a-frame so it'll connect just to the v-frame and obviously the pre-lift down below and as you see near the end of this footage it does that perfectly. My drum battery did die right before it was almost perfectly aligned but the drum got the footage up to the point where it was pretty much perfectly aligned and you got the picture of what it's going to look like. We are going to be on construction site tomorrow with a behind the scenes hard hat tour thanks to Canada's Wonderland I am so excited for that and we have a very large camera crew coming with us to get some really high definition shots of the construction site. So we have three people high definition cameras going rolling zooming in getting every ounce of detail of this construction site for you guys. We're also gonna have some we're gonna ask some questions so right now is the time if you have a question you want us to ask the park tomorrow about the construction project nothing else about the future or other rides in the park just about Yukon Stryker comment down below we will ask as many good questions that can be answered by a construction project manager for you guys and have them in the video that we released tomorrow night or potentially Friday morning whenever we get that edited and ready but yeah super excited about that not too much else to report on no new track has arrived they have the next set of lift hill pieces assembled and they'll probably start attaching the netting and support structure for the staircase and fume liquor again I do not know how to pronounce that name properly but I'm getting the terminology correct at least if you actually look off in the distance so it's a little harder to see because it's a gray crane so they have a drill crane right off in the distance there near timber wolf where they've demolished and bulldozed that path they are starting to drill footers if you remember my footage from the other day they already have the rebar cages ready for the footings sorry the correct word is footings not footers it is just muscle memory when I say footer so again whenever you're looking at a footer it is actually a footing is the proper terminology so they're digging and getting ready to pour the footings for you con striker so that is definitely the turnaround area over there and yeah this coaster is progressing quickly that's essentially all that is going on in the park that I know of at the moment and that I've seen so again you have the 620 ton crane lifting the first actual 47 degree angled two-piece lift structure into place and you have footings being dug up behind near timber wolf falls the 275 ton crane is not being used yet that'll probably help with the top of the lift hill I'm not quite sure yet we'll see what that's exactly meant for what I'm being told or hearing that this is the crane that they're going to be using for a lot of the coaster project as what I read online is this is a heavy duty crane that you're seeing being used it's again at 620 ton but yet that's essentially all that's going on today you're definitely going to want to continue to watch the footage because you're gonna see the lift hill piece lifted into place and yeah you can see again this is a great shot of the chain falls and the angle that it's being held at and how they assemble it it's gonna be tilted a little better now that's actually what they're working on you can see it slowly if you look really closely it's being angled to the 47 degree angle but the chain falls hold it at that exact angle that it needs to be to installed so not much else other than that again you're probably gonna see tomorrow when we're doing a construction update I'm guessing you're gonna see the a-frame being worked on and then installed and then on Friday they'll probably lift that second piece of lift hill which again you're what you're looking at right now so I left this out is a 120 foot long lift hill piece that's being installed so each piece is 60 feet long and that's two of them right there attached so that's a hundred and twenty foot worth of track being installed again that's 120 foot worth doesn't mean it's 120 feet high because it's angled at 47 degrees but it's 120 feet worth of track it is really high though because of the 47 degree angle you can see it from the highway you can see it from even just like parked around the park anywhere so it's really cool to see that so if you live near driving by Wonderland you're gonna get a really good shot of or a good view of you con striker already it is peeked over the park skyline already if you're driving on the highway you will see it anyways hopefully you guys enjoyed this construction update hit that like button subscribe if you haven't and share this video for others to enjoy as usual comment down below what you guys think and any questions you want me to ask the park and thanks for watching have a good one guys bye
