I just noticed auxiliary supports were added to the back of the tower. When and why?

It may be necessary to control where it goes down

ApolloAndy,

The extra supports were added for the drop ride Zuminjaro: Drop of Doom, around 2013/2014.

Wow, that thing is over 2X bigger than Son Of Beast. It's gonna be loud! I'm hoping they make it an event, and have top notch recording equipment.

They really should. *Come see the demolition of Kingda Ka! Only $99.99!*


Counting down the days until I'm back at Cedar Point, the one and only place to be.

And for an extra $100, you can stand in the VIP section.

That's actually a great idea to have an upcharge event for the implosion. Proceeds could go toward a charity.

Nothing really new, but NJ.com points out that demo is well underway. This photo on Twitter shows they've not exactly been gentle about pulling bits down on the ground.
