pkdcoaster

It was very unique depending on the seat. Front of train- You would be facing st8 down when the train would "stall" and you would be thrown forward into the harness (similar to the Impulses) Middle of the Train- was cool cause when you "stalled", you were upside down and be weightless against the harness Back of the train- Very cool to be whipped around the back half of the inversion into the drop. you can see my DF video in the Video forums section to give you a better Idea of the hangtime on it. Interesting fact alot of you might not know. DF first test run was unsuccessful cause it did not make it through that first inversion (cause of the cold temps they were testing it in and the wheel grease was hard) So they installed heaters along the track (station,E-brakes,MCBR, and top of the lift) to heat the grease, and man you could really feel the heat from thoses things. They were only there through the 1992 season..I will try to post a pic from a Brakeless test POV I have from the park from the 1992 season JEFF

Really cool, Thanks for posting that. JEFF

My very first coaster was space mountain at disneyworld when I was 5 in 1985 and I cried and screamed the whole way then next year my best friend convinced me to go on Scooby doo at PKD and I was scared at first but then I did not think it was so bad. I became a full blown enthusiast at the age of 7 when my dad convinced me to go on Rebel Yell in 1987 and I have been obsessed ever since. JEFF

yea on my Wife's message board there was a big thing about these stupid dolls. The biggest thing was one of the dolls was wearing a THONG!!! How appropriate for 6-10 year old girls to have. JEFF

LIM- Easily goes to Chiller launch- Hypersonic XLC (but I am pretty sure Elissa has it right with dodonpa being the most powerful judging by the videos) Volcano's doesnt have a quick punch to me, the speed is very gradual JEFF

Wow I was expecting to be the only one who said I love em. SLCs are defintely not smooth but IMO they are fun...I find very few coasters so rough that they take away from the fun. I think Boomerangs are great rides for the price and amount of space they take...for the smaller parks. I love going backwards Vekoma count: Boomerangs-8 SLCs-5 Invertigos-2 JEFF

And this one http://www.rcdb.com/ig19.htm (but they would'nt take the roof off for me) JEFF

Did a search and did not find anything. Just curious to see what everybody's opinion is on having kids. BTW I have one boy and that is enough for me but wife wants another JEFF (be honest) My little Monkey

My new favorite show MXC! on Spike tv I have never laughed so hard in my life. You either love it or hate it though. JEFF

Here is me and the last pic is my fav pic of my little man JEFF

oh yea that is what happened to it....I remember now!! (i'm old ) the last one in the set of pics I entered in a 10th grade physics project (got an A ) and on the way home in the back of my friends truck it got slammed into by something..back there (can't remember what) and I could not get it to work again without spending a whole lot of time on it. So I just scrapped it, I still have all the pieces boxed up in my crawl space.

All together about 2 months...I would only do 1 at a time, Look at what I had left then build again after I perfected one or got bored with it. JEFF

I always wanted to build a Coaster off my house....But I do not think it is too feasable now. So I built this. I love old Arcade games, There are much better MAME Cabinets out there but this is mine that I designed and Built (with a little help from my Uncle) With my homemade Marquee. Enjoy, JEFF

Here is my house in the southside of Richmond, VA

Holy crap! I knew they reprofiled the first drop on BIG ONE but I did not know they did the turnaround also. Was it really rough or something..it was crazily shaped. What year did these reprofiles take place...most of my footage of the ride is from '94 and '95 The first drop still looks like it has a killer whip to it. do you have a POV pic going into the turnaround? Thanks, JEFF

Grizzly at PKD still gets me everytime. Does any other tunnel have an airtime hill in it? Any airtime in Hades tunnel? which looks amazing BTW JEFF

Here are some good rare pics from behind the scenes. taken during Coaster Celebration 1999 & 2000 Batman Pics are really awesome IMO. Enjoy, JEFF Taken from MCBR Taken from MCBR Future KK site in background Not behind the scenes but I love the sky in it Taken from the staircase to the maintenance area Taken from the staircase to the maintenance area Taken from the staircase to the maintenance area

Man, I cannot believe I had the time and patience to do these. I was 14 or 15 when I did these. It is about 5 or 6 sets combined. For those that do not remember these, do a search for spacewarp in google images and 10 bucks to anyone who can follow my last creation (bottom pic) I think I have video of these...I will try to find it...could take a while And YES all the tracks worked Enjoy, JEFF Forgive the dirty laundry I made it and I cannot even follow it See my shiny balls! The Barbies are NOT mine My sisters collection (I took over the book shelf)

SFMM 2000 Cool pics BTW, I really like the sky in the Superman pic, Like it is going into outer space. JEFF

yes it was a 35mm camera TTD pics were taken MAY 19th & 20th 2003 JEFF

Do you have a Good picture of them...I have not seen any I forgot about that one....Sharks mouth isnt it? JEFF

Thank you! ...man they look weird....I wonder if they are louder without them on. But they really do not look too sleek without them. Thanks for the link JEFF Weird

I like Alpengeist the best...did you know each one is different? Also for those who have been on Katun does that "red eye" light up? JEFF

appreciate that but I am really looking for a pic in operation..its funny the trains look so much more industrial without them. JEFF
