Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier Discussion Thread

[sammmmmyI wrote the book about donkeys!]

The paint job on those cars looks amazing.

I totally agree. I'm glad even though it's a pier, they're putting love into the ride and not making it look too generic or cheap.

I think it's great that the euro fighters only have one car per train-- leaves so much possibility for great train designs like this.

[XYZA village is missing its IDIOT!]

This probably has been metioned before on other threads, but why do they have the "Euro-Fighter Front" label on it. I don't think the construction crew is that stupid.

It's so they don't get the hoisting brackets backwards.

Found another great pic on the Galveston Tourism facebook page.

Iron Shark's color

[johnychenWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

More from the Galveston Island Tourism Facebook page. Looks like they were open for the employees for some testing.

Hopefully they will start testing iron shark soon. A few pictures I saw yesterday suggested they may be torque checking the track bolts.

Iron Shark looks nice. I like the colors.
Are we sure this isn't a Mack megacoaster?
Looking forward to testing.
