Just a little one. Wonder if they will use a helicopter to do the upper half?
I think I would make the trip up to watch that!

That crane can't go 450' up so...:shrug:

Yeah, 200 at most so another method will be used but they are moving forward on this. What is happening with the Polarcoaster? Bupkis from what I can see.

If I am correct this is the crane that is on site and the specs are as follows:
Max working height 478.3’ (feet)
Max load in US tons 600

So assuming the top of the spire is the 450’ advertised this crane should have no issue lifting this into place. All info pulled from link at bottom.

I think that is one but isn't there also a Manitowoc 18000 that is being assembled? Kelley has one in inventory. I hope they won't do the assembly of the tower til next week, I am busy til Monday but I want to make a trip up to see this. Should be as good as a helicopter lift.

Geeez, I get the huhl-hurps at 20 stories.... if I ever want to commit suicide by heart-attack, I will ride this attraction.

Here is the correct concept art for what they are building.

Anything else slated to go in here once this is complete?

They are trying to get approval for a helicopter tour, but it was denied. They are appealing.

The news has reported there’s more in the works for that plaza, but nothing specific has been confirmed.

The more attractions there the more they will feed off of each other so I figured something else could well be in the works, would never have guessed Da Choppa though.

As long as Tin roof and Yard House are there Im good anyways

They want to put the choppers on the top deck of the parking garage.

Not a bad idea to be fair but it could be a major distraction for traffic

It's a little odd that the Orlando Eye looks way bigger than the Starflyer.
