PKI 2009

Do you mean No Coaster? Coaster Con is in June.

It's looking pretty sweet! I was in the area during New Year's and stopped by to take a few pics and basically DROOL! It looks surreal, even from the parking lot. Actually it almost looks like a mirage. ;)

I just couldn't believe my eyes!

I was wondering about the walkback thing. I will definitely take advantage of that!

<---who can't wait for opening day!

^^ Yea, I guess that would be a little late to discuss it. :) I was assuming he was mentioning a more immediate event.

It is looking good...

Well, according to Tony Clark, Robin Innes will be at No Coaster this Saturday, I'm assuming that someone from Dorney will be at Eastcoaster on Feb 7th and I'm sure Don will be at Winter SOAR on Feb 21st.

Just hauled last piece of track out of parking lot

With the weather downturn we've had, I certainly hope they are almost done hanging steel. Time to build the station I would think.

On another note, I would have to say that the fact this ride was pretty much "known" in November 2007 is somewhat amusing. It was a pretty badly kept secret, I mean how the heck does a magazine get a copy of the an early layout? Seems too silly to be a plant by the park, more likely a blunder. Think anyone got fired for it? Maybe a disgruntled former Paramount employee?

Preview night cancelled...

Told you I had a wierd feeling about this disappearing. Wonder what happened? No staff?

What other parks have a preview night?

Canada's Wonderland did last year. I heard the line for Behemoth was longer than a regular day at the park.

Oh well. Having never been to a "preview night" we were very much looking forward to this...just for the fun experience. I wish they would not have announced it only to just to let it slip away as if people would forget about it...strange.

You know how most coasters can look kinda slow when watching them from a distance?

Yeah, this one really doesn't.

That speed is unreal and I like that they kept the roar.

Those of us who've ridden Behemoth know that those of you who'll experience this new breed of B&M hyper for the first time at PKI are in for a wake-up call...and a real treat! :)

If anybody is interested www.enquirer.com has 8 pictures of the first test run.

KI Central has vids of testing

^And they are amazing vids! Drool!
