welchce Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 My brother and I went to KI again today after work. We first went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower to get some pictures. Like this of a newly formed gravel access road. There are footing/footer rebar behind the Crypt (which was closed) Once we got down from the tower, we headed toward the train. It left the station right as we got there so we walked back the exit of the Crypt. There are a lot of stakes where the rumored first drop is going to be... Once the train made its round, we hopped on board. As requested, as shot of the ravine. Back in the woods you can kind of make out a huge footing/footer. Since we didn't feel like riding the train back from Boomerang Bay, we took the walk toward NickU. A friendly reminder (which a lot don't pay attention to)... In NickU we rode Avatar (awesome as always). Then Beast and red Racer. On the way out, we got some just disgustingly pretty pictures as the sun was setting. For full sized goodness, and many more pictures. Quote
misselaineeuss Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Nice photos, welchce! If nothing else, it sounds like the new ride has increased ridership on the train. I've been to KI about 7 times in my life, and I've never ridden the train. But, I'll be sure to when I go in early August! =) Quote
Captain Nemo Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Wonderful photos Welchce. It was a great day to visit the park. Lines were just right and temperature was not to humid thankfully. Quote
welchce Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Thank you both, but the pictures are my brothers. I am just the one who posts them on here. Captain, we didn't see you in The Beast station like we normally do. Where were you? Quote
iChase Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 First, I have to say I think the last picture would be great in HDR. Second, does it seem like the ravine keeps getting more and more shallow? Edit: Sorry forgot. Great pictures and TR! Quote
Phantom Theater Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Ummm,you put 2009.But,your brothers pics are great! Quote
welchce Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Ummm,you put 2009.But,your brothers pics are great! Maybe I am just wishing it was 2009 and the coaster was completed Quote
Thane Of Price Hill Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words about the photos. I'm happy that you enjoyed viewing them. I have one more photo to share with everyone tonight. While riding the KI&MVRR on Tuesday, I took a series of photos which I've stitched together into one large panoramic image of the work being done in the ravine. Ravine Panoramic (Be sure to zoom in on the image. It's 5408 pixels by 3806 pixels.) Quote
