Vortex Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I don't know if any contruction photots have been made public from PKI. Other than a big hill of mud thats all I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOF/Z 4-ever Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Im sorry, my prev posts was talking about general pics of FOF, not construction pics. I re-read the post and I'm sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 You likely won't find the exact photos you're looking for since they constructed the building before the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 How would they have built the track then? They wouldn't be able to use a crane or anything to lift the track. It would have made more sense in my mind to build the track and then enclose it in the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 nope, they built parts of the building 1st then the track. I thin the drum was left open until the ride was done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have made more sense in my mind to build the track and then enclose it in the building. I remember hearing they were building a building for some reason and they noticed that had a few feet of clearance in there to fit the ride so they ended up putting it in there. They also said the footers is just one huge concrete slab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 The fact that they built the drum before the ride was actually stated by a PKI official during the FoF tour at Fall Freakout last year. He said that there was some delay with the track, and they couldn't hold up construction in order to wait for the track, so they went ahead with the building first. They were forced to use new, more innovative methods to construct the ride within the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Nice picture's of FOF being put up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Correct me if I am wrong, But i think the track the FoF at PKD was constructed 1st then the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFreak273 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I still wish they had kept King Cobra up and running instead of the trains sitting in the FoF building and the track in a deserted field disassembled. I think they should have put Delirium in the space by FoF and AE or just moved KC back by The Beast and The Racer if PKI owns some extra land back there. I know for a fact that The Beast leaves the park's official border but there has to be some space somewhere left. I miss the Cobra. And I always thought that they spelled it like King Kobra instead of King Cobra. But after looking all over the net, it's deffinately Cobra. Anyways, I'm rambling, thats it! LOL!
