I've not been to KI since the year before they opened FoF, so I have a few questions.. is the entire ride inside that big cylinder except for the launch area... also.. are there any pics floating about of the construction of said ride? I'd love to see that.

The entire ride is inside the buliding. The big cylinder shaped buliding is where the main ride is, loops turns etc.

I knew it was all inside.. and knew it was a launched coaster.. I was just wondering how the track layout is on the inside.. I ASSUME it launches down that long tunnel.. into the huge cylinder area.. where most of the ride is.. then at the end comes back down the tunnel to the launch area. is that right?

Lost of photos taken from inside the bowl here!

I'd be difficult to find actual construction photos since the track went up after the building was constructed.

Thanks guys.. you've been very helpful.. the reason I was asking is because i'm researching indoor coasters for one in a New RCT3 park I'm working on. I'm wanting to do a Grateful Dead themed indoor launch coaster.. still trying to come up with a name though. I know I want the word Psychadelic (or similiar) in the name but just not sure what works best yet.

Could be neat. Why not integrate the phrase "Dead Head" into the name? Just food for thought.

Wow... nice.. these should be fixed up and put in the photo gallery here at KICentral.

Absolutely amazing...

Have any other construction photos that you would like to share with us?

I asked my mom to dig out some old vacation photo's from King's Island from back in the old Hanna Barbara days... hopefully she will scan and email them to me sometime this week.

GREAT PICS!.. Those are just awesome.

Some of the FOF ones show the que area being built as well.. and shows thier little secret of only half the spaceship being there..
