Wow!! I would love to get out there and see this in person! Having just
returned from BrickFest, I'm hungry for more. :-)
Are there any videos online of the roller coaster? That thing is something
else!!!

When you say "the end of summer," does that mean through sometime in
September? Or August? I'm just trying to figure out how if it's possible
to get out there inexpensively... For me to go from BOS to PDX on August
2-4, best fare is like $650. If there was another weekend later with more
lead-time, I think I could get out there for like $350. Hmm, according to
MapQuest, Beaverton is only 16 minutes out of Portland... does that sound
right? And PDX the airport to fly into for this? (I've never been to
Oregon before, and everyone says is wicked beautiful.) Are there better
(cheaper) ways to get to Beaverton from far away? -- like, it seems I could
fly into SEA for August 3-4 for $350, or $320 with more lead-time... Anyone
know what a bus trip from Seattle/Tacoma International to Portland is like?
MapQuest says it's about a 3-hour drive.
Do/would you give a private tour to an out-of-town AFOL on a non-public weekend?
