What is up with the red target on the Eiffel Tower and the numbers 262 beside the target? I also saw employees with the logo on their outfits

Nic Wallenda Walk Hype.

that makes more sense.

I was hoping for an new coaster in 262 called Son of Beast. The world's tallest, fastest, and only looping wooden coaster. Improved with the addition of a loop, and airtime with the removal of half the rose bowl.

Back to reality

these wallenda walks have been very popular at the parks from what i have seen / read. i for one cannot wait to see him at the park. 260 ft on the Eiffel Tower has got to dominate the Cedar Point skyride, or the wire between dorney's "possessed" coaster.

apparently this tour is helping him build up momentum and publicity for a walk across the grand canyon, for which he has already secured permits. no date for that has been announced yet.

Does he do this with a wire or anything in case he falls? That is just nuts.

No nets or safety harnesses. Nothing to save himself if he falls.

He has nothing below him i believe. I didnt see anything when I saw him at Cedar Point. And I doubt he will have a net across the grand canyon...

He has the big pole for a reason.

I have to wear that red target on my uniform now. I had people asking me today if Target (the store) was having an event at the park today.

When will he be there? I want to see him

On August 15 at Kings Island, Wallenda will push the limits of what his great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, started more than 100 years ago with a spectacular high-wire walk on a cable about the diameter of a nickel suspended 262 feet in the air from the park’s front gate to the Eiffel Tower – a distance of more than 800 feet – with no safety nets or harnesses.

That's a Saturday, two weeks from today...

I WANT IT!

(If I didn't have issues, I'd be saying, I am going to the park that day.)
