Well, October has arrived and the new FunWorld is out! Guess who has a 4-page spread??? WE DO!
This is really an exciting time for our group. After 2 years of amazing things, we are beginning to get our name out there. I want to thank everyone involved in the group for all the awesome things they’ve done.

TPEG was at the involvement fair this past week. Due to rain the tower was not launching, however we had a lot of interest and I think we will see a new crop of interested members this year! We have so much going on, it’s hard not to find your place.
Pictures of course:
Our booth:
You can see a Phoenix kit from CoasterDynamix that was donated to us as well as the tower in the background.
A closeup:
And now some teasers of the tower……
Here is Eamon ready to launch:
I assure you, this picture is actually of the tower being launched under its own power. Hard to tell I know, but we should have more formal pictures and video up soon!
Oh and if you’re a subscriber to IAAPA’s FunWorld…. I think you should check out page 42 of the October edition for a nice treat!!

A very dedicated Jonathan Wocher has been in the lab the last few weeks working kinks out of the tower. Here’s a quick video he took of the cart moving freely along the tower:
Thanks Jon!
