Chiller Pictures Hit the Web
PKIDelirium replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Ouch, that gallery system is terrible. Looks really strange. And Batman, not surprisingly, is incomplete. -
My Vortex harness occasionally does the "Arrow Slip" a notch or two but I've never felt the slightest bit unsafe on it.
-
I was just commenting that I'd never had a problem stopping there for photos, so it wasn't likely that Lauch would.
-
I've been taking photos from Dropoff for 3+ years now. They keep those vending machines stocked and payphones active all year, and I see people there using them occasionally. I even had a guard go by wave at me as I was there taking photos, so I'd say you won't have a problem.

It's a haunted house.

Why dosn't Fire HAwk have a Construction Cam?
PKIDelirium replied to felix's topic in Coming Attractions
Maybe they don't have a webcam to install? -
Carowinds Employees Hurt Testing Ride
PKIDelirium replied to PKIVortex's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The way I read it... The mechanism that moves the seats from sitting to flying position came loose, so they basically ended up hanging upside down for a short time. It said it valleyed just before the loop, so at that point they probably fell back down to laying. Just a guess based on the two news articles I saw on it. -
And tinted primer will help to prevent the green from bleeding through.

Patent infringement for all major themers?
PKIDelirium replied to Steveo3631's topic in Kings Island
I think they're just trying to go after the deeper pockets of the park chains. But... is it really smart to try suing Disney? -
Even More Firehawk Construction!
PKIDelirium replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Oops... didn't notice that. Note to self: Actually look at pics of the intact ride before guessing. -

PKIDelirium replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Can't be. The track in the horseshoe is suspended. -
Okay yeah, I think I'm going to get a haircut this week.
-
Wait. Let me get this right, PTC Junior trains don't have underside running wheels? Are they like a side friction coaster? (I've been dreaming up my backyard coaster.) They have underside wheels but not side wheels. A flange on the main wheel like a railroad wheel takes the place of the side wheel.

PKIDelirium replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Yeah, that's tinted primer, not the finish color. I'm sure the finish color will be nicer looking red than that. -
Won't work. It has track built for flanged wheels on PTC Junior trains.
-
Can't be for Racer, Hurricane only had two trains. Racer needs four. Beast needs three. SOB needs.... Anyone?
-
Maureen said they would be converting the trains to match SOB's track gauge.
-
They ran nicely on Twins, but Twins is a somewhat slow, gentle ride without many forces. I'm not so sure I'd like to ride that kind of train on SOB.
-
About the Witches Fort, if you look at the aerial of the park on Live Local, there's an old house in there.

Even More Firehawk Construction!
PKIDelirium replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
The new trains run on Falken in Europe. I believe the FOF machines are gone so they aren't in the construction mess. There were some tools and construction junk piled up right there. -
What is your favorite location at Kings Islands?
PKIDelirium replied to PKIMAN!!!!!!!!!!'s topic in Kings Island
Ah, the Wings Diner back patio. That was a nice, quiet spot, now it's all fenced off. -

I pictured it as being like RCT's "S-turn" -
It made me think of East Fork Lake, but I'm not sure. It does look kind of like the Ohio River, possibly a section farther East/Southeast from COney.
-
That's been there.
