wickedv6 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 I've not been to KI since the year before they opened FoF, so I have a few questions.. is the entire ride inside that big cylinder except for the launch area... also.. are there any pics floating about of the construction of said ride? I'd love to see that. Quote
PKIVortex Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 The entire ride is inside the buliding. The big cylinder shaped buliding is where the main ride is, loops turns etc. Quote
wickedv6 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 I knew it was all inside.. and knew it was a launched coaster.. I was just wondering how the track layout is on the inside.. I ASSUME it launches down that long tunnel.. into the huge cylinder area.. where most of the ride is.. then at the end comes back down the tunnel to the launch area. is that right? Quote
Dane Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Lost of photos taken from inside the bowl here! 1 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 I'd be difficult to find actual construction photos since the track went up after the building was constructed. Quote
wickedv6 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 Thanks guys.. you've been very helpful.. the reason I was asking is because i'm researching indoor coasters for one in a New RCT3 park I'm working on. I'm wanting to do a Grateful Dead themed indoor launch coaster.. still trying to come up with a name though. I know I want the word Psychadelic (or similiar) in the name but just not sure what works best yet. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Could be neat. Why not integrate the phrase "Dead Head" into the name? Just food for thought. Quote
wickedv6 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 Wow... nice.. these should be fixed up and put in the photo gallery here at KICentral. 1 Quote
