June 20, 200917 yr I have made a discovery take a look ! Source:http://visitkingsisland.com/events/event_d...08&ec_id=15 From the looks of this photo his walk seems to have something to do with Diamondback and The Tower
June 20, 200917 yr Wow, I don't think he will wire walk from the top of the tower to DB's lift, to risky and dangerous at that height and length.
June 21, 200917 yr I can assure you that the Wallenda Walk last year was absolutely incredible. I'll definitely be there this year. Also, the height of a sky walk is pretty irrelevant as far as danger is concerned. If he falls 70' or 700' it'll like have the same outcome....
June 21, 200917 yr Author I really hope I can be there that day it seems like an amazing walk is planned !
June 21, 200917 yr I feel like height doesn't matter...I could see the Eiffel Tower/Diamondback walk. If I'm not mistaken, I believe I read somewhere that after this tour he was planning a Grand Canyon walk.

I knew it was here I just couldn't remember where.
July 16, 200917 yr I can assure you that the Wallenda Walk last year was absolutely incredible. I'll definitely be there this year. Also, the height of a sky walk is pretty irrelevant as far as danger is concerned. If he falls 70' or 700' it'll like have the same outcome.... It does not matter how high he falls as it does not hurt you, but rather the sudden stop when he hits the ground. There is no way I would ever walk a tight wire, even if I was able to. I would bust my bottom even if it was 2 inches off the ground!
July 16, 200917 yr Falling from 70 feet would take 2.1 seconds, with an impact velocity of 45.6 MPH. Falling from 700 feet would take 6.6 seconds, with an impact velocity of 120 MPH (terminal velocity). The only difference would be 4.5 seconds of relative painlessness and life-reevaluation.

July 18, 200917 yr Did anyone notice the date change on the web site. It now shows the 15th and not the 16th. I will be there on the 16th for the Run and was hoping to see this. If it is attached to any part of Diamond Back's Track they probably won't be able to have the ride going. It sways too much when the cars pass. That would make for a pretty unstable wire . I don't think they would shut down the ride for that? Maybe I am wrong.
July 19, 200917 yr The CF site still says 16th...
