Lake54321 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I wonder if this will be on national TV? We are going to be out of town (other side of the country) and I really hope we will get to watch it on TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 When Evel jumped at KI, there were three major networks, public broadcasting and independent stations; pretty much everybody had fewer than 10 channels to choose from. Now there's like 500 channels. I'm sure the jump will appear somewhere, like, I dunno, ESPN 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 This will be a parking nightmare on that day for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 This will be a parking nightmare on that day for sure Although parking will be affected, it won't be as bad as you think. Mr. Knievel will be jumping in the Premier Parking lot and his jump will be towards the Great Wolf Lodge. As a result of that, Premier Parking will not be available that day but it should not affect the other parking lots very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 How big is a Coke zero truck in relation to a greyhound bus? Seems like they're about the same width. This is going to be a pretty intense jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a huge event but I hope its ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was specifically referring to the fact that the Knievel jump won't cut out a large portion of the parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 How big is a Coke zero truck in relation to a greyhound bus? Seems like they're about the same width. This is going to be a pretty intense jump. I believe this jump is going to surpass his fathers and according to Sceamscape is likely going to be Robbie's last. Although it says you can still book him for dates on his site. It also says that the only records set by his father that he never broke were the Kings Island jump and the Snake River Canyon jump, it also says: The bus jump is on the drawing board for 2006 By bus jump they are referring to Kings Island, I wonder if they had attempted to make plans for this before. I am so excited for this. *Goes to polish camera lenses* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it says you can still book him for dates on his site. The jump will be longer than his fathers. I'm going to try to find out some info on what distance his father did and what he intends to do. Remember that Evel's jump was only a semi-success since he landed on the last Greyhound bus. Also, it is true that it will be his last MAJOR jump. He intends to do smaller jumps at things like county fairs, but he plans on this being his final big jump.

guy1115 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 A few years ago A&E approached the park to do a jump similar to this, and the park didn't think the draw would be there. Now, new owners see it in a different light....huh....who would have guessed. I wonder if this is still tied to A&E or if it is just through the park.
