adamscott Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 I still like the Eiffel Tower lit the way it was pictured in that poster I think today's generation of kids is missing out on this experience it was calming but fun to look at after a hot summers day in the park. 1 Quote
BlondyRidesOn Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I've always admired the floodlighting myself. The uplighting around the base of the Tower was removed last season to accommodate the Christmas tree lights, but they remain on the top cupola. Quote
adamscott Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 Those base lights wouldn't have effected the christmas tree for winterfest at all they have survived other Winter Fests with those uplights I would love to see a petition to get the tower restored for future generations to love and admire as I did growing up. Especially with the fireworks. 3 Quote
Maverick44 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Where is @Tera Ryzing to argue that the Intamin Eiffel Tower is better then a B&M Eiffel Tower. 4 Quote
Imperial79 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 That would be nice to see! Maybe someone can ask them this question and about restoring the antenna at next year's Coasterstock. Quote
BlondyRidesOn Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I think Kings Dominion's Eiffel Tower uses the multi colored LED panels like on ours, but will sometimes use the floodlights on the cupola and under the 265' platform. They might not want to use that lighting because of The Greatest Showman fireworks display, may be too bright. I heard from one of the people on the platform that the antenna at the top was knocked off by a small plane in the early 90's. Quote
adamscott Posted June 2, 2018 Author Posted June 2, 2018 I am also paranoid about Kings Dominion Eiffel Tower antenna eventually being lowered due to rust issues from the salt air on the east coast or it even breaking in half from not getting enough attention. Quote

Imperial79 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 I've never heard that before, wonder if the pilot ever got into trouble, flying so close to the tower like that? , Maybe Kings Island can someday buy a new antenna from Intamin? Quote
BlondyRidesOn Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 It would make a great transmission tower, of course the radiation would be dangerous. Quote
