Aceattack52 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I guess this thing never actually got built.... Orion Emergency Escape System I don't think this would be a good idea because now some astronauts may WANT to use the emergency escape. It's an interesting idea, though.

cfc Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 ^I'm sure they would've had a few training sessions to satisfy their curiousity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 That emergency escape looks interesting. A bit scary, especially if something bad is happening to the rocket just a few feet away. As for the polercoaster, it is interesting, but will probably will be known as the ride that "goes on forever doing some cool stuff". Nothing very big about it other then height and length.

Dr. M Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Nothing very big about it other then height and length. (Insert "that's what she said" joke here ) (What would the difference be between height and length in that case?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplemoverMatt Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 ^I'm sure they would've had a few training sessions to satisfy their curiousity. Bingo. And, compared to the forces felt during space flight, a 300 something foot drop is quite minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Stratosphere Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I really like the concept for this, for me, it is like everything the High Roller at Stratosphere should have been, we just had a really long helix haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It's been a couple of weeks, I'm assuming we are going to hear something soon for holiday break! Can't wait to see all the details on this monster and maybe even...POV?!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yeah I'm surprised we haven't seen anything. If they leave it late I would imagine it would get lost in the holiday news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I thought they had said two weeks. It's now been over three weeks with not a peep about it. I wonder what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPDave Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Trouble in paradise? I didn't think anything of it when they said they wanted to let their client have the major announcement but maybe they knew something wasn't going entirely to plan?

Jon Sabo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Perhaps they are going to wait until AFTER the holiday season....or?-they may have a huge announcement New Years Eve...hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Ugh. Well, if the Florida property doesn't work out, I hereby volunteer my backyard as a back-up plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 "Holy Tall Towers, Batman! Are they really going through with this?" Well, that's what the man in the video said, and if they really built this, then who knows how many eXtra people will be changing their plans and go to Florida. But it's the second announcement that piqued my interest: they will be building the third tallest roller coaster in the world in Atlanta. Six Flags over Georgia is located west of Atlanta, so does this means that this park will be getting that ground-breaking coaster? I think I need to go to the toilet before I wet my pants again.

I had lunch with someone today close to the situation, and there aren't any worries. The announcement will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That's good to hear! I'm less curious as to when it will be announced and more interested to know where it will be built! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I wonder if it is going in the area of the "Orlando Eye" project. I seem to recall that they had one more thing to announce that would be a first or something like that. We shall see I guess. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 ^But with the tower being over 500 ft tall and the wheel will be over 400 ft tall, wouldn't that just make a large obstruction for the view from the Orlando Eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
