I’m sure all of you know that next weekend there are going to be some crazy things going down at PNS and I for one can’t wait. Not only is Freezing Point showing but so is Higher Ground. Ok that being said I want to know what everyone is selling/swapping. Post it up so we’ll know.

it should be, unless there is an abnormal amount of hurt joes on it, but theyve already spent the money on it so they are planning on it being in the park all season....

So they have it almost ready for the swap. They aren't gonna skirt it for the swap, because of limited time, and the paintjob isn't ognna be final. Just something for the weekend. The rails are in place, and it looks better than i had pictured. Its gonna be a good time on it this winter. The ultimate contest feature.

That is the staircase nearly as it stands now. It has some paint now and the UHMW stuff is on one rail but it looks much like this. It should have a nice mellow kink and the roller coaster should be really cool to hit. The rail will more than likely be out all season long or at least nearly all season. As Trav mentioned there will probably be several contests on it because there are soo many options with just this one feature. So everyone should make a trip to Perfect North Slopes in south eastern indiana, and try out our park... just once.

o yea how wide is the steps. If you fall off one rail into the middle can you crack your head on the other rail if you are a big dude or what?

from the looks of it, and mind you i haven't seen it in person, i really doubt you'll be able to hit your head on it from just falling off. but i might be wrong. hopefully i can see it tonight or tomorrow.

Its out on the hill ready for the swap. And the stairs are 8 feet wide. If you have a super wierd trajectory, or take a really wierd bounce its possible to hit the other rail.. but it seems unlikely. You'd have to do something really wrong.

hopefully for street. no one likes stair sets that are super easy.

and if it was ride on, alot of first times would slide it 50-50 style and probably fall off. i think having to jump a little to get onto a box makes it worth it. especially that kink one...

It'll prolly have a little gap on. for contests and stuff it'll have a large gap, but for everyday use when there are gapers and joeys it might be more ride on.

and we always have a plethora of joeys in our park because it's super easy to access, but the staircase is really sick, pretty tall, it should be a good time.
