I think that there is there is no doubt that X-Flight is coming to PKI for the 2007 season but its just a matter of when it will be ready and the annocment day.

I think building a monorail right there wouldnt even make any sense. Its not that far away unlike some of the Disney parks and the other thing is I think it would be a huge eye sore and a waste of money for the park.

Yea those waterparks are freaking sweet looking and highly themed.

Can you go to the waterpark without being a resort guest?

Yea I think that kid was proking something. From the looks of the video he started to fall and Tigger only tried to save him.

Yea I think he was falling backwards and was Tiger was trying to help him out. I dont see why Tiger would have punched him.

Yea they aren't wasting anytime taking X-Flight down. Has any part arrived at the destion park yet?

How smooth is X-Flight for those of you that have ridden it?

That would be nice. Do you guys think it will be over the weekend?

Yea I think so too. I am doing a redesgin of the track style this weekend beings a |_| shaped track will be easier to work with.

Well I have a wheel asslemby all ready built for me and I'm not sure how to make a better looking one. I may just change the coaster to a B&M hyper do to this fact. IM still just trying to plan out what the track will look like. Net Update Sunday.

We have are first update for this It is the Auto CAD drawing of the back view of what the track will look like. I am not really digging the B&M looking style track but since the trains side wheels will be running on the outside of the track I didnt have much option. Comments are welcome.

Outside in my backyard Where I will be able to dig and pour some small footers.

As I get complete each section of the ride I will do post how I did it. Just be sure to keep watching this thread for update. I should have all the planning done and actually start building the ride some time in early Feburaruy but I will update this thread wiht drawings for the ride.

Right now while I am working on these drawing is that the only problem I am currently running into is that the track looks too much like a B&M style coaster.

I am planning on using thin peices of steel to build the ride. I am not sure I think I may sodder the joints together depending on how strong it feels.

Everyone I am please to annoce that I will be taking on the biggest project of my 19 year life so far. I will be building a steel model of the roller coaster Vortex. I will be taking this down to just about what the real coaster desginers do. I am going to be making drawings using auto CAD so I can get the parts down. I will then be erecting the ride with steel supports and track. I will keep this thread updated as the work gets done. As of right now I am planning on making the ride about 15-18 feet tall and with a computerized program that will operate the ride. Wish me luch as I embark on this huge project.

Yea GL looks like a nice park.

I think they need to something that hasn't been done before color scheme wise. Maybe a red and a really dark blue color just throwing this up in the air black supports and yellow rails.

Yea no ride is gonna be taken out to make way for X-Flight unless you count the tours as one but that ride was all ready closed anyway.

What are the reason that tehy are exempt?

Well Memorial Day weekend is the rumor that I heard from someone is when the ride is supposed to opening. We will just have to wait and see.

Yea I am sure they will repaint it. The only thing is there is still alot of work on this ride to be done yet and with the ride be slated to open on Memorial Day weekend there isn't too much time left to do the work.

I think there will be many improvments around the park. Things such as employees loading the trains faster, friendlier workers, and maybe a nice sitdown restraunt sonner or later.

I might make a trip up there I am not sure yet. If I do I want to make sure to ride all the rides there and take tons of pictures and videos.
