I don't have dimensions on the ex-USMC hanger in Tustin to contest size, but this is definitely more artistic . Now if they combine it with the mechanical clouds planned for a stadium in Qatar... http://inhabitat.com/scientists-in-q...cloud-cover-3/ Aside, RDJ, I enjoyed your merry exchange with "Cheop(s)" on another group. I haven't seen the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas yet but if you get to Southern California, a look at The Pyramid gymnasium on the campus of Cal State Long Beach will be reward the detour. The elevating bleachers alone are a concept realized. "Sarcophagus", BTW, resolves to "flesh eating" given that limestone made up the coffins and the wizened state of the pharonic occupants combined with the reputation of quicklime played into formulation of the term. Regards, Edward Hennessey |

Regards, Edward Hennessey- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - How do those compare to the Coney Island Cyclone? You could fit several Coney Island Cyclones into the Tilamook or Tustin hangars. Can't find exact dimensions on the Cyclone, but measuring it with Google Earth it's a little under 500 feet long and about a hundred feet wide and the Wikipedia entry says that it's about 85 feet high. |

The structure was all built in a factory somewhere as subassemblies that would fit on a truck or flatcar and delivered to the construction site where it was assembled. Same concept as roof trusses today, only _big_. |
