January 28th Photos:

Here is the overall progress of the ride as of today.

Last week we posted some of the temporary "Smoke Free Environment" signs and this week those have been replaced
with permanent ones!  What was that you asked?  Oh, yes....we are just THAT sad to notice this little detail, you're right!  =)

Just in case you aren't aware.  Six Flags Magic Mountain IS in fact located in California.
And, oh, yeah, that's Tatsu in the background too!

These are random pieces of track.  Just a few small bits. 

Earlier this morning they had closed off the Samurai Summit area....

No John!  They are going to open it soon enough!

Finally the Samurai Summit area and Ninja opened and we go to take some pretty cool photos!
Here you can see how the track wraps around Sky Tower.

And what good what a Tatsu update be without some XTREME CLOSE UPS of the work? 
(Ok, ok...we know it's not that XTREME, but this IS the XTREME park, so we're just trying to stay in theme!)

Ok, now THIS is more of an XTERME CLOSE UP!!!!

There's been a bit of work done on the station since last week.  From what we can tell, lots of "White pole-looking things" have
been installed.  And yes, I do believe that is the technical term for those things!

For those of you readers who have bad eyesight (me included) here's a nice XTREME CLOSE UP of the station work.

Here's a shot of the first drop.  Isn't it just breathtaking? 
Don't you just look at that and think to yourself "Midgets....yes....lots of furry midgets."

Uh, oh...can't go in this area.  Too bad it doesn't say "hard head" because then Elissa would be ok!

"I am a GIANT CEMENT BLOCK!  I make no sound!  My life consists of sitting still.
Won't you bring me some fudge brownies?  PLEASE!!!"

"We see you outhouse!"
"Awww...and I thought I picked a really good hide and go seek location hiding from that new support going up!"

Tatsu track goes "wrap, wrap, wrap" around the Sky Tower.
