Roller coaster abstract

Back to the roller coaster, which was the whole reason for visiting Panorama Mall this time, not to ride it but just to see and try to photograph it. I had wanted to take a closer look because this ride is one of the reasons for the very unusual shape of the mall building.

I知 posting the last four images for this gallery pretty much all at once because I have a busy workday and work evening ahead of me, and I haven稚 even begun to pack for our two-week tour of the Gulf States. Our flight is in the middle of the night (literally), which I find pretty odd since none of these countries are more than a few hours away, but I guess we値l get a very early start in our sightseeing! Of course, nothing will be open at that hour, and it will be Friday, when pretty much everything is closed, but I知 sure we値l find something to do if we can just stay awake. I assume I値l have some Internet in the various places we池e going (Oman, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai/Sharjah and Bahrain), so will try to keep up with Pbase as I can.

Thanks for all the interest in this small gallery! I imagine I値l be adding to it on subsequent trips to Panorama Mall, where we seem to go quite frequently.
