If they are going to delay the opening, can they at least put the test seat out so we can get pictures.

As someone who has to use the test seat for it's intended purpose, it makes me super annoyed when people use it as a toy for their kids or crowed around it like tourists. It is humiliating enough to have to walk up to it in front of all creation and sit in it to see if you might get to ride. The last thing I need to is to try to run kiids, who think it is a jungle gym off like some sort of troll.
Just saying.

Personally I don't mind the take a picture and leave crowd but the ones that hang around for long periods taking multiple pictures and stuff are ridiculous.
On that point I am actually against placing one till right before the ride opens in the current environment. Placing one will almost certainly guarantee that dozens and dozens of people will use it for pictures and such. Given that it isn't an operating ride I can't see that seat ever getting sanitized meaning it would be a possible spread point so better in my opinion to wait till there is a functional reason for it being there.

ah yes because they would put the test seat on the opposite side of the bridge from the actual ride ? were not getting over that bridge any time soon, the best we could see on saturday is launch testing
How did I miss that... I’ve been sitting for 3 hours now
It's actually pretty hard to get a good shot of it—you really gotta be looking for it. The old Tempesto Panini booth offers the best perspective other than for a brief few seconds on the train.
PS: There's a water dummy in the back, left seat too. Gotta be a thoosie water dummy to pick a seat like that on an empty train.
Anyway, this is why everyone should follow BGWFans on Twitter! We're "professionals" or something like that.
?
Why’d you gotta blow my cover like that!! Looks like I’m not as well disguised as I thought. P.S. I’m the water dummy?
Dont worry I'm about to join you ?
Put a GoPro on that before you join me. I forgot mine
Pantheon is extremely busy to day, there were like 4 or 5 guys going though what seemed to be a check list (transfer track, gates, 2nd launch, controls that kind of thing) they even moved the 2nd car for like 6 inches.....TLDR: its probably going to test soon
I talked to Kevin today and he said they are aiming for testing within the next 2 weeks
They said that like 3 times already this year
Man, if the roof wasn't just blue metal I think the station would actually look pretty alright. A brown wooden roof would've looked really nice.

talked to some people and as they were heading out they were uncovering the train on the launch, i’d say it’s worth a shot but i wouldn’t have high hopes knowing this project
Thanks heading back then. Fingers crossed.
I'm on the same boat as @horsesboy. I bailed after lackluster indicators this morning, but if they've uncovered the train, that changes everything IMO and I'll head back right now.
Can someone confirm that they've uncovered the train on launch 1?
