They've been cycling 5 trains most days.

Amazing pics. Thanks so much

What are those lights on the ground facing the fence for and have they always been there? They look new.

That on-board audio location in sidecar is perfect.

And almost a pure 90 degree turn. Anyone who doesn’t think this will feel like a full-blown coaster is kidding themselves.

They’re for lighting the path itself

They really went for it with all those custom made trains. I dont know if intamin did it or not but i am so proud of them for making sure that happened!

It’s an EPIC new coaster!

 

[rhino4evr]

Crossing fingers for some kind of soft opening

Is there a reason they didn't put a roof on this train station?

To try to stay as faithful as they can to the films.

Originally they weren't even going to do an awning.... thank god they changed their minds.

*edit*

Alicia is in the parks.

Attraction sign aged, some small work remains to be done. I'm willing to bet all walls come down this week.

Such an improvement. I wonder what they'll do with the locker station. Keep it a locker station or repurpose it for something else?

Lockers. I heard they’ve already been updated to the ticket scan ones even.
