Jeff, what do you mean when you say "they had the nerve to tell you it was built for show?" I mean, obviously SFGAd didn't want them to say anything about it, what did you expect?
Soggy, the lift is approximately 100' right now. It *IS* visible from outside of the park. Maybe they'll finish it soon and everyone will see the "surprise!" ;)
Also, I agree with you guys, the colors are kind of out there. Maybe they'll look better when the thing is put together.
