Post media day, pre opening day Evel Knievel PTR.


Recommended Posts

Ok so today I got to go out to the park. I was kinda bummed that I was not going to be able to ride EK till Monday, but I'll wait. On my way out of the park I took some pics of EK. I only could get a few good ones from the path but thanks to the awesome rides supervisor, Mike, who let me walk past the ropes to get some pics, I was able to get some close ups of EK...I really appreciated it.

 

Enjoy the photos and while I have not rode EK yet, I can tell you just from looking at it that its not going to disappoint.

 

 

*Sorry the photos are so large. I would re-shrink them but I'm really tired and I have to get up early for a competition in downtown STL tomorrow.*

Thanks for looking. Now get your butt out here and ride EK!

Reverse view of the enterance plaza/midway. I really like the lights and the landscaping they put in.

The Log Flume got a new coat of paint this year as it is right next to EK.

This ended up being my favorite shot.

I really like the angle of this shot.

The skid marks are a nice touch.

When I took this picture there was 14 hours, 12 minutes, and 5 seconds until Ek opened!
