ooooooh...ahhhhh! Everyone together now...;)

Hey guys. I work at Soak city, right across from the RipCord. And Guess what Ive been staring at for the last 2 weeks? Hehehehe. Anyways, It doesnt look like Rob has all the pics ready yet, so Ill give ya a description of whats there at the moment. 2 of the towers are fully assembled as of 6pm this evening. Compairing to the first hill of magnum I would say about 250' or so? Just a guess. This is gonna be one heck of a thrill... It will consist of 3 identicle towers, positioned in a triangle formation. Like this:
O O

It looks as it a cable will extend down to the center of the triangle from each tower, connecting to the car/seat/whatever... and it will throw you into the sky from there.
I cant seem to find any pics of the finished product elsewhere online though...anyone know where?
