Does Everest have any working effects besides the yeti projection? Waterfalls maybe? What a joke.

Hmmm that's a good one...but if the "train" is hidden like we are assuming...how will that come into play?

I apparently don;t know as much as I thought...No good with riddles lol...or sudoku

That'd be more working effects than Splash Mountain has!

These are just too easy to pass up :lol:

What's a larger scale ride than Everest but used a "smoke type station effect..."?

- - - Updated - - -

Only thing that keeps coming to mind is the green "smoke" at FJ but that's not expired or a station effect.


:bang:

Larger scale was referring to the execution of the effect. The ride in question is Everest. The effect will just be much larger than what Everest had.

Well... it was just a guess on my part. I have absolutely no contacts on the HE part of this project.

A source has told me that the some, if not all, engineering documents for Phase II have a SEVERE!!!! warning across the artwork and plans. This has never been standard and was not used on Phase I documents. Seems their really trying to keep construction documents for their eyes only.

After seeing all great these picture updates, I took your advice. For all the huge amount of info I get here, the price of being a VIP is very reasonable.

I don't know, I don't like contributing to premium memberships on discussion boards...

For everything the staff has done for the forums, don't think the fee for being a VIP is necessarily a premium membership cost, but a donation to the site and keeping it the way it is. Running this site is definitely not free. Being a VIP is just an extra incentive.

For the VIP members your money towards the upkeep of the site is greatly appreciated. Your contributions have helped this site that I've grown to love avoid the fate of so many other fan sites and that's what it's all about. To add to that I make ZERO money from this site. I love themeparks and very much enjoy talking themeparks. I can remember years ago when I was on IOACentral and just waiting to hear from certain members and just enjoying the conversation. Of course back then I had no means of doing updates and giving huge insight but appreciated everything those members did. Fast forward to present day and not much has changed for me other than being able to provide updates and give out major information.

My point is I do what I do because I enjoy doing it. It's not about money, it's about being someone who hopefully is a positive influence for theme park fans. Someone whose posts are appreciated and looked forward to is all. If I've done that, then it's worth all the money, traffic, and fear of flying in a damn helicopter worth it.::skellington:

Sorry about the off topic comment but with all the VIP conversation recently I didn't want people thinking this site was after your wallets. It's the sponsors money that's wanted:lol:

Earlier today I was walking with brother in law inside a massive home improvement specialty store. Not sure why he is asking me as the project is above my head, but it's family right. What got me though was the massive amount of material needed and the cost involved. He is using loads of aged timber beams and tons of aged and cut stonework for the project. He is really hell bent on an authentic type of feel so cost isn't an issue to him like it used to be.
