Its amazing how well Disney creates not only great looking food but special parades and firework shows for a special event. This looked like no exception. One of these days, I will make it out to a special event put on by Disney.

^ The train looks open. This coaster really went up quick it seems.

Figuring what out? Sorry I'm confused. Yeah he was referring to this Blog post. It would be very clever if it turns out to be a clue.

Yeah it was posted on TPR's twitter the other day. Here is the video [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

TPR Mini-New Hotness tour starts in 66 days. Not that it has anything to do with this, just thought it was cool that it landed on the same day. (If it is 66 days away from an announcement) It should be interesting to follow along and hopefully get hints each day.

Thanks for posting some pics. The park looks great.

I also went today for an hour to get some more rides in before driving back home. So with this new system, I was actually able to ride 3x in a row because they didn't have enough people in the station. That's a major capacity issue. Even when the small groups would show up with two trains going, there was never enough people in the stations to fill the train. I did the same the second go round and rode twice in a row. The people were there but stuck in line over at the test seat area. I feel they should just do a TSA mentality with random checks while people are walking over to ride. I loved hearing the locals because many had been on the ride previously this season and were wondering why do this now? Many never even knew of the accident. Is it truly just a liability deal? I also saw the two guys get kicked off. It's a mess.

Wait: EVERYONE?? Yep, everyone. So now your queued up on the side near the test seat then a group of you go. They give the rules then test everyone on the seat. Then your free to walk up to the station. I will say both times I walked right up to the station after. I also noticed this helped with dispatch times. The employee did tell me this was a test. Edit: I took some photos if the new system in play. I just got on the ride in 20 minutes which is really good for a fairly busy day. I'm still not sure about it. The employee is telling that group all the rules. The employee is telling that group all the rules. The employee is telling that group all the rules. Everyone has to try out the test seat This is now the line for the coaster.

So they started a new system for NTAG. They now check everyone in groups at the test seat. They also go over safety rules before you walk to the station. I'm not sure what I think about this. A employee told me that they just started this. I have some video from my iPhone. trim.E278FCF9-31EB-4706-80FB-3302736BD474.MOV

The last three bunny hills look like they will give that quick out of your seat airtime.

Did the group that owns Wanda parks win the lotto or something? This is a great thread and I honestly had no idea all of this was being built.

Correct link

The new area looks great. Thanks for posting.

I didn't get a survey from SFOT but I got a different email for a VIP exclusive season pass sale. I was just about to buy one for my upcoming visit . Did anyone else get that email? Just curious how VIP I am.

I would bet just like they have on Forbidden Journey, they will have a way to tour the queue only.

Has anyone heard any new updates on Falcons Fury? I hope Intamin can resolve the issues soon. BTW- my two cents on which is better BGT or BGW. Clearly BGT, it's just an hour away from Disney and Universal.

^ is that what you call it now days

We have a sign!! Photos from Grand Texas Facebook.

^ That would be interesting. I wonder why the transfer area is wood. I was thinking maybe they are just reusing for cost purposes but that looks fairly new.

Thanks for the updates. It's looking good.

^ The area looks great. I like there adding all the shaded spots.

^ Media day is the 29th so they have 27 days to finish. Lots of overtime for all. I don't see why they couldn't make that date.

The trains look awesome. I'm sure we will see testing soon.

I love hearing that Phoenix is running great. Not that I really noticed any difference last year. I guess Twister is still a hit or a miss. It sounds like the retracking helped a little. I can't wait to get back to Knoebels this August.
