PKIguy14 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I was at PKI a few days ago and I noticed that at the exit of The Vortex taped onto the operator's booth window was an info sheet about the ride. It said the ride was 2796' long or something like that but many coaster sites say it is 3800' long. Does anyone know which is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Now you have three different numbers. The PKI.com one is right, I measured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 LOL for some reason I'd say the number on the operating booth would be the most accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 LOL for some reason I'd say the number on the operating booth would be the most accurate. hmmm...I don't know about that. You really have no idea who typed that up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I'm sure PKI let some guy just type it up with his estimates in post it in the park where people can see. Especially on the ride itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 ^ Well, the numbers disagree with the numbers on the web page. Did they let some guy just type up the web page with his estimates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyatuc Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Maybe the longer one includes the lift hill and station where the smaller one doesn't? I have no idea... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Or it could include the track for the trains' housing...who really knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
