I think the clouds say it all

 

[Teebin]

Ahh... thanks. I had not thought about the lightning. Good reason. That should be calming way down quite soon.

Today and tomorrow they hopefully will be able to work on it, but Saturday another cold front is moving in ...

Glad to see them adding the second ring on the wheel. I rode by it tonight on the way to Uni but didn't get a chance to snap a pic.

Windseeker would be cool!

BTW, Gooding's Plaza is right next door to the eye, just north. It is currently the home of Sleuths Mystery Dinner Show and Charlies Steakhouse.

Curious really, I also read somewhere of something new for I-Drive 360, a mystery indoor attraction, which I assume is different from this other new thing coming. If I understand it correctly, since this is in the plaza next to 360, it will not be part of 360.

It's probably one of the new popular "escape room" attractions that are popping up around the country.

Got a pic yesterday going down sand lake.

First look at the passenger gondolas.

So the secret attraction is a 420' Star Flyer swing. It will be beside Carraba's in what is now the parking lot of the former Goodings Plaza (which is where King Bowl is now located). The Gooding Plaza is being renamed Vue at 360.

I don't recoil from much, I'm anxious to try Falcon's Fury, but ^that^ gets a big NOPE from me.

Loving the photoshopped London Eye in there!

 

[anihilnation]

Yes, my prediction came true! Will definitely have to try that one

Yeah, I hate those giant swings too. I'll pass.

So now I-Drive will have the Orlando Eye (and 4D show), The Star Flyer and the Skyscraper Coaster (by 2017 hopefully) along with the new Madame Tussaudes and the Aquarium. With Fun Spot in reasonable driving distance as well, people could very easily spend a full day out at these attractions once everything is opened.

DOING THIS!

 

[tsojl2005]

Saw they were adding some more sections to this thing.




Found where they are hiding the cabins.

I hope this 4D show is better than the London Eye one, that is literally a 'stand in front of the screen in a group before you get on' quick 3D film with a bit of mist and a splash of water. Nothing to write home about!!

I don't know how good the preshow will be, but the Merlin folks told me it is a custom 4D film about the history & geography of central Florida.
