gafreak Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 shot out to the park last night for a quick peek, looks like 2 more sections of the lift were removed, looks like there moving a little slower that i thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I just added a couple of pictures from the past couple of days (the 7th-10th). Check them all out here! Here are a couple of previews: Using the basket to get at the structure and cut the track from the supports-- The lift is getting shorter and shorter each day-- They are jack hammering and pulling out the huge concrete footers so they can be carted away-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcji Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Thanks for the update! That would be pretty fun to be in that basket on the crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i never realized how big the footers were, i forget about the frost line here, when i lived in az, we didnt have that issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Removal of the Scream Machine continues, although at a slower pace. Below are some photos from this morning. I was thinking... wouldn't it be cool if they left the last loop until the end and toppled it during a media event announcing the new ride for 2011!

scipiomask Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Is it true that GASM's lift fell onto the Golden Kingdom's entrance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southview2 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Not that it fell onto Gk entrance. The upper most part of the lift, that one tower, apparently collapsed this morning before operating hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 was at the park tonight and saw that all thats left of gasm is about 1/3 of the lift, 1/3 of the 1st drop and the 1st loop, chutes was up and running but with my 5 yr old i cant get on it, he wont ride it yet, but it looked like buisnes as usual around the park, are you sure that they didnt take out the lift on purpose?

southview2 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Im honestly Starting to question it myself, im just wondering why it was called into eso (the office) and my boss, a director, would say that it collapsed if it didnt.

gafreak Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 if anyone was wondering, the GASM trains are located in the infield of rolling thunder, they can be seen if you sit on the right side of eltoro, when your riding look toward thunder and you can see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
