X-Flight construction pictures

[RobSFGAm]

So now that were done with that ......Rob do you think you could get some photos of that Immelmann its looking mighty dandy don't ya think!

I can try later today, but there are 3 issues:
1 is that is is. Rey grey sky, so theyifht be a bit dark.
2 I beleive the Eagle hill is going to be in my way. Asked on where the track is
3 snow is coming, so I will have to see if I can zoom is far enough and still get the shot as well as the skyline pictures other have commented they like the snow might I obscure my view.
I will definately try though.

Okay that's cool if you can't that's alright!

The skies were pretty hideous today. I took a panoramic shot with my phone anyway. So here goes:

Spread it around, photoshop it, take credit for it...I don't give a damn. If you gotta take credit for a pic taken of a theme park in a state we live in, well, that's your prerogative

What gets me every time I see X-Flight in profile is its unique lift+drop shape. You never think of it, but the standard up/down in the same direction or up/down with a U-turn is so embedded in our heads that X-Flight's undersweeping drop just makes me pause when I see it.

I need a more clear pic haha ;D thank you though...how was it goin in that area btw, any issues or no??

I totally understand what you mean sporlo. It catches my eye every time because its so UN-traditional. It looks amazing in our lineup. Honestly though, its this eye catching detail that makes me love the look of a zacspin too. Its/Theyre so unique in comparison to most coasters that it makes people say WTF is that?! Same goes for a Maurer Sohne xcar coaster(humpty bump lift).

I took pics with a real camera too. A hair better, no dslr. The area is a trek to get to if you're coming from Grand like moron me did, but if you come in from Washington its a couple warehouses over. Several people saw us, no one said anything though. I assume its really no big deal.

[CoastsToCoasters]

haha ok, thanks. i dont know when ill even get over there before May anyway but yeah, I want to. I cant wait to see the new pics from Rob & you if you think theyre post worthy... you havent posted 'em so I dont know if you thought so or not haha

[CoastsToCoasters]

[sfgam#1]

It's going to be so weird to see a new coaster in the skyline. and to see wolfie gone. It will definitely take some time to get used to.

I really don't have much.

Yes it will take some time to adjust to the new skyline. But great photos Rob!

[CoastsToCoasters]

YAY!! Aw why dont these get larger? Or is it just me?? LOVE the look of it in the skyline. The immelman is so odd. thanks!! (God Im like a kid at build a bear).

[ttd rox]

Thanks for posting the pics guys! That one picture with X-Flight behind Superman really made me excited for the season to begin!

Just out of curiosity, are you the same Rob that did the V2/DejaVu construction updates back in 2001? Those were great, got a lot of us talking on the net back before discussion boards were around.

That was me.

I also had a website with Raging Bull construction pictures (only a handful) in 1999 too.

Could you possibly post the V2/DejaVu and RB construction photos

[RagingBull144]

In the Bottom Left you can see some station construction on the webcam

Still looking for my DejaVu and V2 pictures

I see Trailblazer in the top pic. What year was this pic shot?

[FParker185]

Almost forgot about this one....

With the missing support on the 3'rd hill. If I remember right, that support was one of the very last pieces to be put in place. Can't even imagine how big of a pain in the ass it probably was with all the rest of the ride built around it.

It should be 1998 before they started on Raging Bull. Raging Bull now stands behind those barriers shown in the picture.
