faeriewench Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Wasn't too sure on where to put this but Just for fun But yeah I really do not know what happened in this pic but it looks extremely concaved or bent. I'm pretty sure this might get a couple laughs. http://usera.imagecave.com/faeriewench/0526071518.jpg I showed the pic to Kevin from the Entertainment Dpt and even he had to do a double take and turn around and look up the tower saying "how'd you get it to do that?" i guess it was either camera (or tower johnny playing tricks ) or the fact the heat got to me so i was seeing things *shrug* Edit: yea if it needs to be moved go ahead lol since like i said wasnt too sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faeriewench Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 I more convinced into believing my pic of the Eiffel Tower turned out to be some sort of error or the lens probably since that is an actual pic taken from a camera phone and Kevin was standing next to me when I took it and he thought it was really amusing lol there were a couple pics i took that day where they kind of came out weird looking too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 No wonder Drop Zone is still closed. Heck, it looks like more than just a cable problem to me. And, I think you'd lose more than your feet on THAT drop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 You can achieve that image by manipulating your shutter, ccd, camera movement, and photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deb Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah! I've had a giggle from every post I've read today! "don't stick your arm out, it'll eat it!" ROFLMAO! deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You know just a little known trivia fact. The Eiffel Tower gets rotated 180 degrees every 4 years to compensate for the stress from the wind. It is a huge operation when its done but they manage to make it happen. From what I understand the process takes about a day and a half to prep, about a day for the move to take place, then about 2 days to make everything permanent for the next 4 years. The last time it was rotated was in the off season between 04 and 05 so the next time the process is performed should be between 08 and 09.

tubaman Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 No, I think it only gets rotated 90 degrees. I believe the next move is going to be on the history channel show "Mega Movers". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorGuy Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Omg something crazy must have been going on that day cause I took a picture of drop zone and heres what it looked like! I wondered why they closed Drop Zone. Wow, thats bizarre that it would get all bent in like that! I havent been to the park in quite sometime, but I heard it closed down. That's just really wild that a pole would get all messed up like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 No its always 180° becasue the majority of winds move east and west. The winds to the north and south are so rare that they are negligable. It was a north and south wind that knocked over the old sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
