Rob-

out of curiosity, what do you do for a living, and do you work in Gurnee? It seems like an aweful long road for pictures - but we all do appreciate them.

Also, what do you use equipment-wise?

There really is nothing else to shoot since the Eagle is in the way and there is no more structure to see from outside of the park.
I will see if I can get a good shot from Washington St in a few days.

I live in Gurnee, so it is not far to go to get pictures, though there is nothing new to shoot as all visible changes are already posted and nothing new to see.

Remember that skyline pic you took on the expressway where Raging Bull was to the far left, Xflight to the right?? A retake of that pic would be awesome to see the other elements pokin up from the treeline at that angle! :D

The Swarm pictures from Facebook. I figured I shouldn't get the main thread too far offtopic.
It takes brave people to be the first humans to test THE SWARM. So we decided to get ex RAF and Red Arrows fighter pilots in to be the first humans on the awesome new ride THE SWARM. Flying through a series of extreme near misses and inversions, even their nerves of steel were put to the ultimate test. Unlike our unfortunate crash test dummies, the fighter pilots came through the ride experience unscathed physically but with more than a bit of adrenaline pumping!

After seeing the pictures, I take back my previous statement, that is in no way overkill....That's just awesome.

The park looks so grey without the trees and flowers all over the place. Seriously though, cannot wait to ride X-Flight, looks so fun in the pictures, especially the super long barrel roll.
