Dane Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Today the PKIC staff had the pleasure of attending the media day of the Italian Job Stunt Track. It was a amazing time with the exception of the lighting that caused the ride to shut down early. You can view the photos by clicking here. Make sure you view all of them at full size because I have added a caption to what is going on in the photo. You can view the video by clicking here! Quote
Alien Seed Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 They parked that red mini out on the lawn a day or two before media day...is it going to stay there like Lara's jeep for TRTR, or was that only for media day? Quote
Captain Nemo Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 If anyone was in the park around 3:00 and saw a plane, guess what? You got the plesure to see the PKIPilot of PKICentral. Quote
Jasper Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Tuba you aint the only one. I am dying to ride it. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Quick question for those that attended today. Was the third train in operation, or is it still running with the two trains that have ran during the past weekends' technical rehearsals? Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Awesome pictures, looks like you guys had fun. Where all the effects working tonight? Like the bumbing seats? Quote
Dane Posted May 20, 2005 Author Posted May 20, 2005 I didn't ride it but I was told that all the effects are now working with the exception of the "bumping seats." Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Darn, I really hope they get them working. Im hoping to ride it tommorow before my shift, hoping to get a better experience this time. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 VE DAY, Presidents day, Valentines Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Christmas Day, New Years day, and Italian Job stunt track day, a day that will be remembered in history.........atleast in Mason. Quote

italianchef Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Looks great. I was supposed to be there, but Baby Chef got sick and I had to take care of him. Family always comes first. May The Force be with You, Italian Chef Quote
Beastfreak Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 I couldn't do media day this year. I did get to get my fill during the technical rehersals. Great video! Quote
familyman Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 I was able to ride it several time Saturday and loved every minute of it. I like the ride time ticket system they had going that day. The longest I waited was 15 minutes. Although the ride was short it packed a huge punch. You could feel it in your stomach as you went up the parking garage. Quote

The longest I waited was 15 minutes. Although the ride was short it packed a huge punch. You could feel it in your stomach as you went up the parking garage. I also like the ride time ticket, it saves you a lot of time at the park when you know that you have a set time to ride the ride. Also, you can go ride other rides instead of waiting in line for one ride for an hour or maybe even more. I loved IJ:ST when I rode it both times. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Today they weren't doing the fast pass. I don't know if it was because of the low attendance or whatever, but the lady at the information kiosk told me that it was too much of a hassle, so take that for what it's worth. On a side note, when riding it today, I notice that the effects were timed perfectly. I'm not exactly sure what was done, but I was in the 2nd row and could see all of the effects. I'm guessing that they either stopped the train slightly farther back, or waiting a longer time to launch. I think that the warehouse scene is much better than it was now too. A lot of "stuff" seems to go on. Ryan Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 I thought the coaster was open right now? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Yea that is what I thought. Im going up on Monday with my cousin and he wanted to ride it but he doesnt have a pass. How bad are the crowds on memorial day? Quote
