Skyrider Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I noticed that this year at The Haunt they added red glowing eyes on the top of the Eiffel Tower. I like the eyes added what do others think? 10 Quote
malem Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Are they (still) using only the lower platform of the tower to accommodate them? Quote
Skyrider Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Are they (still) using only the lower platform of the tower to accommodate them? Not sure as I did not try to go up the Tower Saturday night. I thought I saw people up there if I recall correctly but I am not positive. Quote
PyroKinesis Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Would love to see a picture of this... 3 Quote
Imperial79 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I saw it while I drove pass on my way back from Coney Island. At first I thought I was seeing things then remembered Haunt. Looks nice for Haunt. 5 Quote
KIghostguy Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I saw the eyes Sunday. Really creepy and great touch. 3 Quote
LoraX Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I can try to get a better night time pic this weekend. The ones I took at night weren't quite as good. 17 Quote
pyrocoasterkid Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but I swore they have had these in years past? Or maybe it was at Kings Dominion?Anyway, KI retweeted a picture a guest took of the eyes (and full moon) the other night. I agree, it is a cool touch: 22 Quote
kingsislandfan1972 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Totally awesome, but does it remind anybody of the Son of Beast? 21 Quote
JubJester Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 ^ That's the first thing I thought when I saw them. I think it's a great addition. It really stands out and it looks great when you're on the highway going on the exit to Kings Island. They only used the lower platform last weekend. I went up it Friday and Saturday. 4 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 So we missed these going up? Would have been cool to see. Quote

Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 They should just keep those up there year 'round. Looks bada**! 2 Quote

Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 They're just his; he just opens them up! 21 Quote

Magenta Lizard Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah, they appear to actually be inside grating, not on the outer surface. You can't tell at night, they are really effective. 1 Quote
Skyrider Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 They're just his; he just opens them up! Very creative! How did you make this video so fast? It had me smiling and laughing. I live pretty close to Kings Island so I hope that he is not watching me with his Eiffel Tower Eyes!!! 5 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it! It comes from a lot of experience. I've been doing animations, video "cartoons," and other media for many, many years. I'll lay down an audio track, then animate around it with timings and adjustments here and there until I have something I think others will enjoy, then I share it. I saw your post title, and the Kim Carnes song entered my head, and I just couldn't resist! 10 Quote
upstop Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 ^^ OUTSTANDING!!! And hysterical!!! 6 Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Another great video, TB! Thanks for the laughs! 4 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Another great video, TB! Thanks for the laughs! Agree with Gator and others, that was another good one! 4 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks, guys. Skyrider started a great topic here (thanks, Skyrider!), and the pic that pyrocoasterkid shared and Lorax's picture are simply amazing! I love how the position of the eyes creates sort of a top-hat-wearing effect, like the Master of Scarimonies. Kudos to the imaginative teams at KD and KI for employing this cool effect on their towers. 7 Quote

Kudos to the imaginative teams at KD and KI for employing this cool effect on their towers. Thanks for the compliment! I thought it was a nice addition to the Tower and nice to see something new at The Haunt this year. I hope this is the start of KI adding new things to The Haunt as some of the mazes and shows have been around awhile and it would be great to see two or three of them re-themed next year. 5 Quote
CoasterDirected Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 This makes me want for them to put a maze at the top of the tower.... 5 Quote
Gplez90 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 When it gets really dark, it looks kind if intimidating...... And i love it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Epic shot! Viewed from corner angles, there's an unintentionally humorous, visually ambiguous way to look at this, but be careful, because you might not be able to "un-see" it. The v-shaped corner braces look like a smile, and the two visible sets of eyes look like individual, sleepy eyes, making for completely different illusion. 5 Quote
