pkdcoaster Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Tonight I went to PKD to take some pics and video at night and luckly Italian Job was testing at night (Video will be posted later). No pics of IJ running just video but some of these pics turned out awesome...especially Volcano. I remember why I do not go on Spring Saturdays park was JAM packed even after 8. IJ has working headlights & Brakelights (not sure if PKI's or PCW's has this), it is still VERY slow over the helix, area still needs A LOT of work but it looks like they should be done in two weeks when they are planning to have it open. The important thing is that it is running (none of the effects were working) Italian Job Testing at night Video link Enjoy, JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V2-dude Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO . Volcano's all glowy-ish-y. Nice pics though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Wow, really nice Volcano pics. I also really like the "motion pics" of Tomb Raider. What is your opinion of the floorless/suspended Huss top spin? I'm riding one next week at Knott's and don't know what to expect. Is it a fairly comfortable ride?

Skyfly Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Those are fantastic pictures. Great capture of Volcano! I was actually there tonight, and I couldn't believe how incredibly packed the place was (especially since last Sunday it was empty). As to the top spin, I know I found it a bit rough on my "manly parts," but fun nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdcoaster Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 I never found it to be bad....there are much worse widowmakers out there (Acrophobia). They are better than the old style IMO, 2 different rides on either side JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Just curious if you saw them Testing IJ earlier in the day or if they just started at night cause I did not get there till 8pm JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Two weeks until Italian Job opens, eh? Maybe I'll brave the mob and check it out. You what my favorite pic is out of all of these, Jeff? (Of course not--I haven't told you. Please ignore my silly question). It's the one where Volcano's track has that eerie green glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkdcoaster Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yea Chuck, I will contact you when we get closer so we can brave the Mob together...I plan on getting there on 5-27-06 really early to get rides on it before the line gets really long. let me know if you will be able to do that. yea I like the glow volcano had without the fire..very cool looking I do not know why but the fountain pic with all white lights and the full moon in the background is just awesome to me....I took over 160 pics last night...I loved it.

cfc Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 ^^Yep--I think I could do that. Perahps some of the other folks on the site could make it, too. The night pics were pretty cool; I'll try to spend a few more evenings there this summer (as I do at BGE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
