Biker19 Posted November 19, 2015 #1376 Share Posted November 19, 2015 How peculiar. There don't seem to be ANY modifications to that area of the deck railing between the Flow Riders as of yet. I would expect to see at least some disturbance in the railing that would clue us in to the fact that something was about to be built off of it! You see, you misunderstand the way the Abyss works - part of the thrill of the ride is that it starts with a jump over the railing. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted November 19, 2015 #1379 Share Posted November 19, 2015 :eek::eek::eek: haha now THAT would be something Also, though not advertised by RCI, the Abyss can be removed when not in use so as to not obstruct those balcony views and therefore the railing is needed at all times.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted November 19, 2015 #1382 Share Posted November 19, 2015 A little treat for you: My DH had a chance for a short interview with Nick Weir last week in Hamburg. Just listen to the audio files (the German text is the translation). As the audio files are only Nick´s answers I try to "re-translate" the questions written in the text: - RCI was alway top in entertainment. Now MSC announced that they are building a special theater on the MSC Meraviglia for the Cirque du Soleil. Can you top this or are there any limits? - Does it bother you that other cruise lines do take over your ideas? - What will be the future? Which delevopments, which new ideas are lying ahead? - Regarding entertainment is there anything you´re dreaming of and you want to have on a ship? Something on land which is hard to do on a ship? - Can you tell us any details about the most kept secret on the Harmony of the Seas, the nine deck high slide? (Gee, I didn´t think that "re-translating" those questions can be so difficult without knowing what my DH really asked...). At the end there´s a video of a second interview made by a collegue (Matthias Morr). Sorry he dubbed his questions and Nick´s answers. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bild Em Bigger Posted November 19, 2015 #1383 Share Posted November 19, 2015 How peculiar. There don't seem to be ANY modifications to that area of the deck railing between the Flow Riders as of yet. I would expect to see at least some disturbance in the railing that would clue us in to the fact that something was about to be built off of it! I notice no ship name up there on the aft section like there is on Oasis & Allure, I guess the slide would block some of it so not much point having it up there. On Oasis and Allure the name was on there before the block was lifted up into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 21, 2015 #1389 Share Posted November 21, 2015 How about a DeLorean? I was orginally thinking a Gullwing Mercedes, but decided against it as they seem to like convertibles. I would gladly donate our 1966 Mustang convertible if we could could cruise for free for the rest of our lives in the A&L Suite. A Shelby Cobra (kit car) would be a nice option. I have a friend that owns a few real ones and would gladly sell them one at full pop.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papcx Posted November 22, 2015 #1391 Share Posted November 22, 2015 It may not be a "classic" car but if your building the biggest, most advanced ship ever, why not go for the most advanced car ever? It's got to be a Bugatti Veyron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted November 22, 2015 #1392 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I believe the two Oasis class cars are replicas. You can actually touch the cars (I noticed a decent scratch on one of them). T The Voyager/Freedom cars are much smaller English roadsters. If you stay with that theme (replica, English roadster, reasonable price) I would recommend the AC Cobra replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 27, 2015 #1396 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) That blue pole has been there a while - did we decide that was for the ship? Biker 19, great catch. I continue to say it is, as I did many many pages back. If it isn't for Harmony why is it this close to Harmony. That being said who knows how close the next ship is that is bent worked on. It could be 100' behind the hoto taker. It just feels like it belongs, being painted in blue, being so close to Harmony, sitting there for so long etc... Edit: if you try to visually scale it, does it look like 100'? It is hard to tell, but it is tall. Edited November 27, 2015 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it could be the support structure for the Abyss - can't think of anything else that needs such a tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the Abyss, especially when the supports are on deck for the water slides. Way back on the pages some one stated that it was for another ship, but it is still waiting for its home. Another reason why I think it belongs on Harmony. Edited November 27, 2015 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disappoint. It's a venting pipe/chimney belonging to the ship yard. Nothing to do with the Harmony. Here are some new pics from the area of the Abyss a.k.a. the Boardwalk.

Rare h20skibum Posted November 27, 2015 #1400 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thought the scale of it looked too large to be a support structure for Abyss. Would like to see something appear there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
