PHOTO TR: Kentucky Rumbler construction tour.

[Johnny Upsidedown]

Hey everybody.

Well today was another great day for photos all though it was a cloudy

day. The construction tour was awesome. We were able to walk all around

and under the roller coaster. We were also taken on the track from the

station down to the bottom of the lift hill. The ride really looks

awesome as most do. The tour concluded with lunch of pizza and chips.

As lunch concluded the lift hill motor started up and the train ran its

coarse to our surprise. Then the real treat of the day was a ride on

the brand new Kentucky Rumbler. Yes thats right we got to ride the

Rumbler. Beech Bend had a special surprise for everybody as they were

going to shoot a comercial for the new ride. So everybody got to ride

for the commercial shoot. Wow it was a great surprise. Anyway the ride

itself for me was a cross between the Ozark Wildcat and Thunderhead.

The ride is similar to the Wildcat but it rides like the Thunderhead.

It has the same kind of out of control ride like Thunderhead. I am sure

others will explain in more detail of the days activities but now to

the photos. I have posted 39 photos from todays tour and they can be

seen at www.Johnnyupsidedown.com or quick link to the Rumbler photos
