If it is that is huge.

Sure looks like it.

The more you ride it, the more you want it!

Yep, that's an aircraft BEACON, and it's larger even than my head.

I prefer my eggs scrambled with beacon.

They should put a damn lighthouse up there! Its sure tall enough, and maybe they could get some money back from it! Kidding of course.

(it occurs to this user that there was once a lighthouse on the Po!nt...)

(though I'm sure it was significantly shorter than 310 feet... ;))

"Your obssesed w/ that place aren't you?" (as stated by my best-friends about CP)

Man, won't that hurt your eyes going beside that on the night rides.

Jeff, is BEACON an acronem(sp)? if so; what does it stand for?

-------------
Certain rides may NOT be for you...

I was just wondering- Jeff, how do you know that the beacon is larger than your head- have you been up there- or did you see it before it was put in place? I have a feeling you've already ridden this thing!!

I don't think it is an ACRONYM, I think he put it in caps to highlight that "becan" was spelled wrong!

Yes, initially I wondered if the thread was in reference to the nuts used for that South Shore delicacy, becan pie...

And I suppose on the North shore, you can have your Canadian Becan.

In any case, it's not something you expect to find at the top of a 310-foot lift hill.

Wow... we're sinking to new lows in boredom! Did Kennywood last weekend, what park can I whore myself out to this weekend?

I haven't been on it, but I can tell the beacon is large by comparison with the catwalk and track (despite some "bending" caused by the use of a wide-angle lens). I've also seen one up close as a spare for a radio tower.
