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.

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!
