A few pics from Kemah

[jmccalip]

Here are some pictures from today. Sorry they're all close ups, the lens starts at 70mm, and it makes taking pictures of EVERYTHING in Kemah difficult.

 

This guy was showing off all day

Mess of track

Just a little airtime

Precise moment I lost my hat

I see the Boardwalk wasn't crowded today.

It was when I left, probably about a 45 minute wait.

 

Since it was evacuated on the lift and closed for about an hour, people were anxious to ride it again.

Nice pics!

 

I like the one with the caption "precise moment where I lost my hat". Notice the total absence of shiny stripe on the rails where the road wheels make contact. Especially on the left rail, the stripe disappears for a couple of feet, then there's a foot or so of stripe, then another gap.

 

One word: AIRTIME. The road wheels have never touched that part of the rail.

 

When you come into the brake run, the section of track with "the pop" is right next to you. The left rail on that piece has a stripe gap of almost THREE FEET. I'll bet the upstop rail is really shiny there, though!

Nice pictures. Bullet looks like a great ride, and those trains look nice, too.

Haha, no idea. Near the station though, the ride is loud enough to hurt your ears. It shakes the whole queue line and makes some people scream when they walk through.

The que makes me wonder is this thing gonna fall. The ride actually start when you are walking up the ramp. hahahhahahahah

Nice!!!

 

Boardwalk parks are not common anymore. Glad that the ones that are, are doing well!

Thanks. One thing about that hill though, you get airtime going into that turn so when you hold your hands up you gotta be ready. Just for fun I held my hands up from the top of the lift hill to the brakes... I bruised my knees a bit so you gotta know how to brace yourself.

The trains look awesome!

I think this is the first time that I've seen pics close enough to see the details.

I love the wood.

It's not real wood, it's a self-adhesive sticker.

 

They look a bit tacky up close, actually.

 

The front panels look really good, though.

Everything is flat and looks like it is right next to each other....

 

I love filming things in lenses less than 28mm.
