Construction Update posted on the main site. :)
http://gadvupdates.com/12-8-2005Update1.html
-
Yay. new updates. This is really nice this season as we are getting alot of updtes from many different sources. Thank you so much to everyone giving updates :D
-
Don't tease me again and take down your pictures Wade!! :lol:
-
Oh, believe me he will not be taking these down....
-
This is the point where you guys should get impatient and happy. :lol:
-
LOL
Actually, we'll be able to repost the other pictures as well for archiving purposes and to serve as a reference. :)
-
Yes, unlike other sites, we are working with the park to get pictures and updates to everyone.
-
Awsome, I cant wait!! :D
-
Awesome! Pics are always appreciated! :)

-
So how many pictures are we talking about here? 10-15? Or way more?
-
Way more.
*edit*
Fealt that I needed to add to that. More pictures taken for sure, but depending on how much there is to see there may not be a lot more than that. I'd still count on more though.
-
Awesome! Now i cant wait. Soooo....you guys wanna drag me along? :D
-
Yes, expect ALOT of pictures taken.
-
Update - Weather permitting, we are hoping to post the update sometime towards the end of next week (Thursday or Friday).
You should be seeing some great stuff from one of our affiliates as well :)
And YES, expect a pointless, large number of photos. More than we would ever really need (but why not?). We are getting video as well if there is anything worth filming ;)
-
Hmm, so if I fill up my memory cards thats like, 800 pictures, maybe i should go get some more. :P
-
If I had money I'd buy an extra SD card to film anything that was worth filming that popped up. Honestly, I wouldn't be suprised if the tour ends up being "Topping off day"
-
That would be awesome to see the topping of Toro. I will get pictures this time... :P
-
You could get a 16 GB CF card..... for like $15,000 :D But hey, it would hold enough pics for a couple years.

If it' top off day you'll know it. You'll see press people when you get near the site :) Make sure your ready for that ;)
-
Awesome! Hopefully they will film the topping off like they did for KK, that was a nice thing to see.

dont worry.. bri's going to bring his camcorder. Im going to make him.
plus.. i have 2 256's :D
-
My card is going to be completely empty when I go so I can try to shove on there around 206 pictures. Maybe a few wallpapers mixed in. :D
-
itll be great to see you guys again since i havent spent time with you or chuck since the shoot.
I as well could easily bring in about 400 pictures, lmao. i dont think im going to take quite that many, unless well.. theres really that many to take!
-
Thank you all in advance for the soon to come pictures, they will be very much appreciated. :D
Cant wait so see the pictures, if only a week didn't seem so long when you are counting down the days....
-
A 512 MB card can hold about.....1100 pictures on it. I think thats what you need :P Want to take my camera and shoot pictures for me?
-
I have a 1 gig card on a 5 megapixel camera :)
-
You win. I only have a 256 Meg card in my 7 MP camera.
-
Wow, what does that get ya? 15 pictures? LOL
geez, 7mp and I was so proud to finally get a 5 :shock:
-
My Canon SD500 set on the lowest possible setting I can get around 650 pictures on a 256 card.
-
Well...Since this kinda is the camera thread, my fuji s7000 can get ~180 pictures on a 256 at 6mp, and about half that at 12mp. Luckily I have 1gb worth of CF cards in the bag.
-
I have a 1GB card in my HP 945. I'm pretty sure that's the only camera I'll bring, no need for the Kodak. That holds about 500 pictures.
George and I also discovered that 5MP cameras can print 24x36 posters out nice and clear ;) So I'm gonna be looking for a nice poster/desktop background shot too.

:lol: Same here. I've been playing around a bit on campus with my camera just to get used to some of the tricks I can pull with it if I'm not using the standard "auto" setting.
-
The amount of pictures per card depend on what resolution and quality setting you have set on your camera. Like I have a 7.1 MP G6 from Canon and when I have it on its highest resolution and quality I can fill a gig card with less then a hundred pics :shock:

Group Photo!

Oh and, there is no rumor in the fact that it WILL have a cable lift :)
-
Just a quick thanks to everyone who made this possible from Kristin and Angel to Diana and Wade. It was great, keep an eye out for our whole gallery to be up very soon.

This is the gallery all the pictures will be in, mine are up but jglonek is still workin on his.
-
Lots and lots of pictures. Yikes!
It was a lot of fun today. To echo George, thanks Diana & Wade, and Kristin and Angel.
Can't wait to get a new lake shot next time we go!
I wonder if we'll be able to see RT at all :?:
-
Yeah it was nice meeting up with all you guys! (Diana, Wade, Matt, Nick, George, RJ, Jerry, Brian, Joseph)
It was good meeting and I thank you very much Kristin and Angel for an awesome time.
-
Good stuff guys! I had a great time and can't wait for our next visit :)
-
head on down to ECC until we get the pictures up there. Bri just finished the update.
i love that group shot!
and it was quite a day. im tired now.
-
Yea so did anyone else notice the kiddy ride pieces in the parking lot? I have a picture but I'm waiting to hear from Wade if it's alright to post ;)
-
Working on our update now.
Lots and lots and lots of pictures to sort though :shock:
-
Nice pics guys! Can't wait for the rest of them :D

LOL I'll be sending Kristin a note tonight. I got several pictures of 3 different rides sitting there. But they weren't exactly part of the tour. Thanks for hanging in there :)
-
And here I come with the CoasterSims update.

Great Job Guys! I bet it was cold out there too!
All great shots, thank you so much for sharing them with all of us!
-
I want to Thank you guys again for inviting me. Also a shout out to Kristin and Angel for the great tour. I also wanted to say thanks to the other women as well for taking our group photo and answering some of our questions.
So far all the pictures look great . Iam a little disappointed in Jerry and George for only coming up with 7 pages :lol: , I thought you would have at least 16 or so. Then again you do have that shot of me staring at an empty Viper station to make up for it , Thanks
Again, it was a great time meeting everyone and watching El Toro go up!! I pretty much have all the same shots , so I took these on the way home.
First I grabbed some sliders.

for some Gatorade. "I'm not even supposed to be here today"
-
It was a great time guys.
Much the same type of photos but here is our "official" update -
http://gadvupdates.com/12-8-2005Update1.html
-
Very nice pictures everyone, good thing you guys got down there yesterday and not today :shock:
-
If any of you visited CoasterSims last night to look at out update, sorry about the slow loading and whatnot. There was a problem with my coding (mostly that I suck) and it didn't make itself apparent during testing of the page. It loads a lot faster and better now.
-
Thanks for the pics everyone! It took a while to look at all of them :shock: Progress on ET looks like it's going great!

Great work
So many pictures they all look good.
I can't wait to see the drop.
The infield looks like the track my be recessed some ?
I will be there the day this Animal opens as I'm sure most everyone one this site will be.
Chuck why didn't you get hypnotised ??
-
Hey, i remember that. I didn't get hypnotized but my friends did(Actually they were faking it).

Actually the reason for the huge hole in the infield is so that the water can drain away from the main site for right now.
-
OK
that was my second thought about the swale.
Yes I could tell they faked it with almost all the other kids up there
it was funny
Did Kristen say if Toro will open when the park does ?
How about dual Season pass early ride times on Fridays for both Toro and King ?
In other words did she answer any questions that we already don't know ?
thanks
tom
-
They don't know when Toro is opening, they didn't set any dates on opening.
I forgot to ask about the early openings on Friday.
-
Are any of you guys ACE members ?
ACE holds a Winter event near Allentown every year and all the local Park reps. show up and demo the new rides in Video and slide shows and construction updates they also take Q and A .
It's a good time to get some info on upcoming rides and events.
It's a fun time I won 2 dorney park tickets last year.
I could have took the GrAdv tickts but already had a season pass.
-
I'm not an ACE member, I dont know if anyone else is.
-
OK, so I just put my photos together on Photo-Bucket. Check'em out if you want, but it's pretty much the same shots. If you click El Toro there is a sub album with Rolling Thunder pictures plus my other trips to CP,PKI,SP,SFA, SFAW and more.

I'll be shooting for Eastcoaster this year. Every year for the last 4-5, I've ended up being busy. Hopefully this year will be different!
-
Minor little update -
I've heard there is a small chance that a pathway from the back of Golden Kingdom (back by the elephants?) might be opened up which would land you right in front of Rolling Thunders station. This would help ease the traffic flow down by El Toros turnaround as seen halfway down this page-
http://www.gadvupdates.com/12-8-2005Update4.html
Anybody else heard such a thing? Likes or dislikes on the idea?
-
^So the path will go from Balins Jungleland to RT's station? That sounds good to me. They're going to need the most open space they can get because of not using the bridge. Also, it wouldn't make PDC a complete dead end.
-KKR05
-
well anything is better than what they have going on now. remember what medusa lines looked like the first year? The big scary intimidating way beyond the entrance and cobra roll 3 hour lines?
el torro is going to look like that unless they do something with the pathways.
and im still angry about no bridge.

I like your home page photo on eastcoastcoasters
