I'm building a Delirium

type ride called "Eye of the Pyramid" (Hence the title of the thread).

It's almost done I just have to put the car on the bottom of the arm. I'll put

pics up soon.

Is this based off the American $1 dollar bill?

[Lanceshield]

I would probubly guess no, I don't think you could

theme a coaster after that!

[gforce]

I know but... the name...

[Lanceshield]

Well, that's usually not what I'd think of

when I hear that. It's probubly just like an egyptian thing.

Today I added a 6 ft drop tower to the top of the

pyramid. I'll post pics soon. I was going to call it hurricane and then use the

pyramid supports to build a coaster called "Tomb Raider: Eye of the

Pyramid" But then i realized why not just call the ride that. I'm still going

to make a coaster useing the supports from this ride, so look out for that too. So right

now the pyramid is about 4 feet and the drop tower is about 6 feel so the whole thing

is about 10' tall. Good thing I have high celings lol.

oh, I was just thinking of the little pyramid with an eye

on the back of the dollar bill.

The ride sounds awesome and big! I can't

wait to see pics. gforce, when I heard the name, I thought of the dollar bill pyramid,

too. I have never heard the expression 'eye of the pyramid' before in any

relations to ancient Egypt.

Here's the pics, A few have my leg and foot in it

because I was standing on the ladder lol:

Are these pictures "stills" off of a video?

[Montu_Man_1011]

yeah, I can make a better video though of atleast the

freefal in operation.

[Westside7th]

The ride looks great but I would suggest turning on

backlighting if your camera has it.

[Top Thrill Dragster Freak]

That looks awesome! Will you

have a video?
