BoddaH1994 Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Gabriel has been so kind as to send us some more park photos while flying over PKI in his family's plane. There's nothing particularly interesting to report about the progress of the Italian Job Stunt Track but these are still some very beautiful and interesting photos of the park. Thanks Gabriel! Click here to see the photos! Regards, Ryan Quote
PKIDelirium Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 http://photos.pkicentral.com/displayimage....tup&cat=0&pos=2 Holy Crap! Is that a TUNNEL on Son of Beast's pullout??? Quote
UncleHenry Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Holy crap... It does look like it! Quote
delirium123 Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I was wondering the same thing. It sure looks like a tunnel to me. Lets keep our fingers crossed Quote
Captain Picard Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 The Fountain looks like it was painted white. It was blue wasn't it? Quote
Captain Nemo Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 People, the SOB just has tarp over it. The Beast has the same thing. Sorry to say but it's no tunnel! Quote
kong fu guy Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 ummm hello!!!! it is a tunnel!!! omg i cant wait!!! and why would they have tarp there but not on the other places. so it has to be a tunnel http://photos.pkicentral.com/displayimage.php?pos=-1619 mod edit: Please do not double post.

Captain Nemo Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 OMG, c'mon, i flew over it and I know it is not a tunnel. it's there every year! Quote
kong fu guy Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 you are right!theres no tunnel look guys http://photos.pkicentral.com/displayimage.php?pos=-1615 Quote
Legend Rider Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 People, the SOB just has tarp over it. The Beast has the same thing. Sorry to say but it's no tunnel! Looks like a tarp to me, its not as if there arent any tarps ever put over coasters! The thing is, Who in their right mind would put a tunnel over the approach to Loop? It is Most Definitely a Tarp, Believe the kid. Quote
kong fu guy Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 i wish it was a tunnel but its not Quote
King Bowser Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Once again great pictures gabe cant wait til opening day WHOOOO-HOOOO! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 That is sweet the tunnel on Son of Beast I cant wait to ride that sucker now! Quote
Legend Rider Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 If that were a tunnel, which it IS NOT then it would not even allow the cars to travel through it!!! riders would die immediately, after surviving the crazy g forces! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 First of all, it is not a tunnel, it is a tarp. Second of all, it is on the bottom of the first drop, not the approach to the loop. Third, what does adding a tunnel have to do with people dying because of the g-forces? Nice pictures Gabriel. It doesn`t look like the Eiffel Tower has been painted much, other than on its four supports on the bottom. Quote
elitescr3 Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 thanks alot for the pictures! they are awesome. a tunnel on sob would be awesome, too bad it isnt . oh well Quote
TRTR Guy Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Also it appears in the one pic that Drop Zone was being run at the time. Quote
TRTR Guy Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Also in this PIC you can see it is a tarp as there is a manlift over in that area and they appear to be working on the loop, I'd say they put the tarp down so they dont get sparks on the wood. And hypothetically speaking LegendRider lets just say it was a tunnel how would that casue higher g forces? A tunnel doesnt change g-forces. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Accually, the seats on Drop zone were taken out. There was only the lift for it. Quote
kong fu guy Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 what the happen to the parking lot Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 I guess it could be a tarp but I still hoping for a tunnel. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Posted February 20, 2005 Also it appears in the one pic that Drop Zone was being run at the time. I noticed that too. Drop Zone seems to be about 50ft in the air. There's not doubt that's for rehab reasons. Quote
KIfan73 Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 What are those train car appearing things out past SOB in the field?? Quote
KIfan73 Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Is that the area where the Lion Country Safari was? Is it cars from that? Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Posted February 20, 2005 lol... I can't help but love the debates we have on here. It's like a red alert when something is out of place for more than a second. Was anyone around on PKIU in the 2003 season when they built the Jacob's Ladder near AE and there was this big debate as to whether or not this was going to be the station to the new coaster for 2004? Quote
TRTR Guy Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Is that the area where the Lion Country Safari was? Is it cars from that? Yes that is part of the area from the animal safari, and no those are not the cars from it, those are tram cars like the ones you see driving in the parking lot. The park sold the monorail/ cars. Drive down Rt 4 and you can see one on top of the Jungle Jims sign. And yes Boddah i do remember that. Quote
