Looks like there's some additional rockwork next to the porthole. Looks dope.

You figure, if it opens first week of may, that gives plenty of time between it and veloci

 

[Twisted_Airtime]

Dont have a photo of it, but I also remember seeing a similar rock over by the bridge

I think the claim that BGW will come back and “finish” the ride theming later is completely unfounded. They’ve never really done anything of the sort, in fact it’s usually the opposite. *Glares at missing Le Scoot archway*

 

[SLC Headache]

I guess beating Universal to the punch is worth having a barren shack of a station for this season. But next season, I won't let it slide.

The dummies are off of one of the trains wonder if that means we are getting close to human testing. It's cycling pretty much non stop as soon as one train hits the break run the station train goes.

 

[Crunchewy]

It's not supposed to wait for the train to hit the brake run before launching, is it?

I don't know where the blocks are so I can't say if that normal or not.

The sign is on a lift and not mounted right now. There is more signage and themeing on a trailer but it's backed up to the bridge so I don't have a shot of it.

2 weeks from today, anyone wanna bet?

 

[sethlo]

Thats good. that probably means they are starting to feel confident enough to test real people. very good news

side note this high speed turn looks absolutely like a grey/blackout moment

 

[vacoasterfanatic]

There is absolutely no way the train is only hitting 73 mph right there

I am actually thinking we will see Intemin folks and probably others on it before that date but I know what you speak of.

You think it’ll be park employees in civvies, or intamin people

Normally you see employees from the manufacturer team ride first, then likely senior park employees and after that front line employees in or out if uniform and finally maybe a secret soft opening for guests before the actual official first ride.

First are the programmers. They ride for a while dialing in the launches and brake runs off of feel. Often, the park and manufacturer higher-ups will get excited and insist on riding it during this time. It's still not technically the final product as brakes, launches, and lift engagements may not be very smooth. Once the programmer is happy, its then turned over to the park. Usually they will run the ride for many days with water dummies while the ride ops train and break in the trains. After that it's usually a day or two of designated ride time for employees. Often, supervisors and other ops from the area will sneak on a ride, but its not anything official. I would say about 3-4 weeks from the first spotted human rider should be opening day, provided the park is ready to open it.
