Hope this is close enough for you @skeetafly ?

I'd be happier if I could see the branding imprint on those bolts..

[Theme Park Girl]

Actually I did shrink the original photo which was way too large to upload onto here. Shouldn't be too hard to zoom in. I'll see what I can do ?

I feel like this rides is really low, from that picture? I believe it's not even a suspended twin hammer but is the ride which is Hmamer Head at Six flags. 

Can't get rid of that quote

I could get really close for you but I'll more likely end up at sea world next instead

Nah, I think it needs to go in a bit more

That connection point is added to the outside of the arm, so I'm guessing it could possibly be a connection point for some theming

Skeet alluded to that on the previous page. 

[zacsta_1997]

Must have skimmed past that

Given something needs to be bolted on to the arm by the looks of that pic, and Intamin's website doesn't show a non-"big circle" version of the ride, I'd have to assume that it comes after everything else so it's not in the way.

I thought the same as you too.  When I saw the photo of the ride I thought the circle was an extra and was hoping they would not include it in the MW ride.  The angle of the top mount and what it is connecting is what has changed my mind.  I also believe the reason why it will be constructed latter is to allow ease of build around the motor & gearbox area. 

I like what they have done with the arms so far and think it already looks better than the one in the photo.  As long as the keep it going throughout the rest of the ride I think MW might have pulled it off.

For other people who don't follow me or haven't seen the connection points I am talking about.

 

1. Connection to column

2. Bracing connection point back to main column. 

3. Blue arrows is the twist and loads getting put back into the foundation.

And me prior to that

@reanimated35 not you because your connection is last weeks news.   We moved onto another connection on the counterweight.  

[Reanimated35]

Ahhhhhhhh. Thought we were all talking about the same connections. 

I'll see myself out.

I will hold the door

[Theme Park Girl]

@skeetafly watch it. You'll set off the Game of Thrones fans 

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

this to all of the Game Of Thrones fans on this forum..

WAIIIIT! 

Before this gets overrun with GoT memes, can we continue that here? 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I'm thinking the counterweight connections are either:

additional theming to be attached to the outside, to continue the theme of 'doomsdays arms'

a rigging point for lifting - as the only other apparent connection point is where it has bolted onto the main arm, and it won't be used again.

I'm thinking the first is more likely given they've highlighted it with white though.

80x zoom. I did my best ????

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I'm looking, and i'm thinking - for what possible reason could they have possibly left the tape on.... Then i'm looking on the other side of the support, and realising that they haven't left the tape on there... and i'm thinking - shouldn't they have removed the tape????

Champion, you should upload this to their FB page and query them on the tape thing..
