PKI.com has updated with new pics of IJST and it's looking good!

Also their media center has gotten a MAJOR update to. Cheak it out.

I am speechless. It looks fantastic. The parking garage is going to be a trip. All the banks and drops are going to make this a must ride attraction for 2005 for sure.

OH SH*T!!! WOW.... I cannot wait to see this in person

Looking great!

Nice catch, Gabriel.

Wow they really seemed to pick up the pace on building this. I can't wait too see what it looks like in about 2 weeks even though there is still so much work to be done on it.

They've gotten a lot done since those pictures have been taken. The parking garage helix is complete with the drop.

The track looks awesome. I can't wait.

Been awhile since Ive seen IJ, oh wait, about an hour ago I was looking at it I love my job

Man, it's looking awesome! Can't wait to ride it!

They are working at an amazing pace on it. I keep on getting more and more excited for this ride the more I see it. I think this will be an amazing ride.

Those pics are wesome keep um comin!

The track looks awesome. I can't wait.

Agreed

How old are those pictures if the helix is now completed? Aren`t they close to putting the final pieces of track in place? (Based on the pictures anyway.) It will be interesting to see how they work the queue line and the exit for this ride over by the Eagles old home.

^The pics are dated March 3rd, so that would make them 4 days old.

Thanks, I guess I missed the obvious there. But sometimes, the pictures are taken a couple days before they post them to the website.

I agree, seeing those pics shows how awesome of a layout this will be! I can't wait to get down to PKI this summer and try it out!! Seeing some of those pics makes me think it will be a little more thrilling than some think it will be.

looking great I wonder if the tunnels will be dark or will they have light?

My guess is that they will be dark with just a tad bit of light like a sweer

I'm sorry, like a sweer? I'm sure it was just a typo. Could you explain?

Lots of pictures! Seeing these picture makes me want to ride the ride that much more. It seems to be shaping up nicely, also, quite rapidly...

Are the crates on the construction site for the helicopter scene?

Check out the MFB (Millenium Force Bank)

^Yea that bank did kind of remind me of the Millenium Force bank, but it also kind of reminded me of these new coasters designed by Ingenieur Büro Stengel which are like extreme wild mouse coasters that also have wild banks. IJ:ST kind of reminds me a little bit of the Ingenieur Büro Stengel coasters that I have really wanted to ride

Stengel has also designed coasters with B&M, Intamin, and others. He has worked on projects such as TTD, Scream, Titan, Storm Runner, Colossos, SOB, MF, Volcano, Incredible Hulk, and well basically every rollercoaster ever. Not to mention designing the first modern loop.

Why do I have the feeling that turn is going to be called the "Millinnium Force Turn" for years to come now? Oh wait... it's because of a certain person by the name of Drew...

Yeah, it is kinda like a MF curve, but on MF, the banking is still a lot steeper than that. It nearly turns you upside down, like in this pic Millennium Force Bank

That ride at Alton Towers does look a lot like IJ. I think IJ will be better though because the trains are longer and therefore heavier so the train will go through the turn with more momentum.

But it'll be even more fun because the back-end of each car "fish-tales" out around the turns...

Millennium Force...

Millennium Force's turns are a lot steeper than IJ:ST's.

^ Sweet I will ride this during the day and at nite

Also, Millennium Force only goes twice as fast as IJ:ST.
