rae8836 Posted April 23, 2014 #1776 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The company that does the RipCord is building two sites in the Chicago area. I drive by one of them on the way to work http://dhbusinessledger.com/Content/Suburban-Trends-and-Issues/Suburban--Trends-and-Issues/Article/iFly-facilities-nearing-completion-in-Rosemont--Naperville/87/172/11427 and have been watching the construction day-by-day. It has been interesting to note that the (huge) duct structure built into the building frame matches exactly to the rendering of the RipCord on Quantum. There is no signage on the construction site and I didn't know what the building was until the duct structure was partially in place and I recognized the match to the Quantum renderings. Strange coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted April 23, 2014 #1781 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Quantum looks the same yata yata... Another view of the Anthem keel block that appeared in the previous post yata yata ... Ah, but she's taller now! Up to deck 14... If we're trying to figure out what part of the ship this is, there appears to be those huge 'pipes' that lead to the smoke stacks. I think that the block in the foreground goes where they are located. Will find out in the next photo update maybe? Photos by minions posing as visitors. Just kidin'!

Tough as Leather Posted April 23, 2014 #1782 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am thinking that it is this area of the Anthem: Did that without any help from a co-worker Pierre, Lloyd! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the location of the smoke stack pipes and hump, etc. Good catch. And it's co-worker André. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swim13 Posted April 24, 2014 #1784 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Nice pictures, Lloyd! I've had a bit to catch up on since my computer was broken for a few days. She is looking the same but I can see Anthem growing! Maybe I should be more excited for Anthem now that I know Quantum won't be staying in New York. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this one goes behind that block. The bump on this one seems to go in the opposite direction as that one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tls1012 Posted April 24, 2014 #1786 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Maybe you guys will be able to figure out the trellis area from the Anthem build seeing as they seem to be much closer shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bump on this one seems to go in the opposite direction as that one does. I agree. It looks like the foreground block will be lifted onto the keel block next to it, based on that jog on the side.

Looks like there is a trellis on deck 5. Hopefully a new photo will (un)confirm this. Sent from Lloyd's mobile phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted April 25, 2014 #1790 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I know this is a QOS board but I see Anthem itineraries are up for NJ now. We can say that this is a Quantum-class board. :) I've been checking out http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=42559822#post42559822 I just get a white screen for my search result.

Lloyd555 Posted April 25, 2014 #1792 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Just tweeted by Royal Caribbean PR. Thought it was a photo we've seen before, but I can see the Anthem of the Seas at the other end. The sea view trellis area is looking interesting. Edit: This is the photo I was thinking of. Ya, not the same one. There's a chunk of ship missing at the front... <blush> Edited April 25, 2014 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was a photo we've seen before, but I can see the Anthem of the Seas at the other end. Thanks Lloyd. There is something definitely there between the last set of Life Boats (light blue across from the rear crane). The trellis looking thing we talked about perhaps?

There's a chunk of ship missing at the front... <blush> You can see what looks to be the outdoor windjammer seating area. And also the stands for watching the flowrider in back. Also, judging by the photo, I'd say they have installed a good amount of cabin modules in the aft end. Probably where they have removed the white plastic from the balcony railings. Makes it easy for them to spot which cabins are installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outdoor Windjammer area looks a little small, I can imagine the fights for the seating already!

Lloyd555 Posted April 26, 2014 #1797 Share Posted April 26, 2014 From a teeny Instagram photo to a plethora of Quantum-class photos taken this week! There are repeats, and lots of photos, so I was going to edit, but they’re just SO nice. :D I’m starting with the Anthem of the Seas build and its blocks this time!

Lloyd555 Posted April 26, 2014 #1798 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (con't) OK, it’s Quantum of the Seas’ turn. Never tire of close-ups of the bridge. I thought that they had emptied the basin.
