Sure, the scan would be great! I have a few pics of the cars they will be
using, they had both the real car and lego model of the car (Hey ED! this is
for you! lol) I took some pics of both and I told Ed I would get them up, so
here it is:

When I was at Legoland last week I saw how far the ride was coming along, it
looked like all they had really done was get the drop all set up, and what a
drop it is! It taller then the spellbreaker (is that whats it called? I
always forget) ride, a good amount taller. and the drop is steep! I am
talking about real theme-park steep! It is right next to the spellbreaker
behind the auquazone ride. I have a pic that you can kinda see the drop in:
http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=36294
scroll all the way to the right, look by the yellow ride thing (auquazone
ride) you will see a slope, thats it - it looks small, but it is the
furthest thing in the pic, you can only get an idea of the drop in this pic.
I may have taken a different pic of it, but it would be on the other roll of
film I wil be getting developed next week.
> I hope the new ride will be open for our wedding! wheee!
All the info I have seen says "opens April 2001" and if I am not mistaken,
your wedding is at the end of April, so I will keep my fingers crossed for
you, but that would also translate to much more people at the park - oh
wait, man, it would be cool if the opening day was the same day as your
wedding and they gave out special 'opening day' lego bricks - now that would
be cool, and a very nice keepsake for the Lugnetters :), lol!! I will kep my
finger crossed for that one also, lol.
