rawrtotheargh Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Renegade has the transfer right next to the station like that as well. It seems like it is a GCI thing now? I can't wait to get on this thing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikeo Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 ^^ The train returns to the station with a left turn under the lift hill. Thanks for the drawing man - makes total sense now. It seems as if the transfer area is so much higher than the bottom of the lift, so it was confusing me as to how the train was gonna get back to the station. Seems like the station will be the centerpiece to the whole ride. How many rides have the station so "in the middle?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 ^Looking forward to those pics. More importantly, looking forward to riding this creation! May 26th can not get here soon enough. Wow! Only 5 months into the season and I will have 18 new credits! It's gonna be a great year! Guy "Barring any closures." Koepp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm not sure if this is within topic, being that it was a dream I had last night, so if any TPR staff wants to move/edit/delete as needed, feel free. In this dream, I was at SFMM and for some reason I got to go inside the Terminator station before the ride opened to the public. It seemed like it was deep inside a building (like, say, Space Mountain or Indiana Jones). The trains were mostly mauve, brown, and some orange in color. Some guy was walking alongside and pushing one along the loading area. There was a "54" written on the last car, and that car had an extra tall box like thing on the back. Each seat had tall headrests (because of the sound system), and the trains seemed like they were 20 or 30 cars long. In one part, I got in the front seat with some lady (can't remember who, but she was a celebrity). Supposedly, we rode the ride, yet I can't remember any of the ride even though I've figured out the layout. (I just don't remember going through any of it.) When we got back I was telling people how great the ride was. Then I woke up. Strange dream, but quite vivid. And very strange that I had a coaster dream since it's been forever since my last one.

atem122 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Let's start this off! And finally one last picture of the station frame. Thanks for reading! Hole in the wall! You can see more of locker the hut New Concrete/asphalt enthusiasts are j***ing in their pants That'd make a great sign holder! Could that be a locker hut there? Station Fly By with workers working on the actual station part Now don't "excite" yourself, but here's its sexy station framing!!!!! Gotta love that density, and the mystery of the iron bars has been solved Ah sweet, we've got Balder too! A worker working on the turn under the lift (he had a saw...I know!)

coasterking2981 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Great pictures. I assume Sky Tower wasnt open today? Oh and the "hut" thingy isnt for the lockers. Its the pre-fab building for the pre-show we were told about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've noticed that the stations for GCII coasters all seem to have the same beam structure. Even ROAR! up north is like this. But the station in my dream (see above) wasn't. Nice to see this ride coming together so nicely. I'm sure we'll be seeing it testing soon.

alexinla Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Great pics! Station looking good. Still no sights of the trains, so strange. They must be hiding them pretty good, usually a month before opening of a new coaster we usually have pics of them stored some place around the property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that's what's happening, just that it's one possibility why there aren't any train pics yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexinla Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Of course, but usually, even since Riddler's Revenge they had the trains by Colossus at least. They are either not there yet or SFMM is really secretive about the looks of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethans_dad06 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yea the trains are probably not there yet. I'm sure that the themeing on the train will not be present until the ride opens, so there is no need to keep the trains on lockdown. Man I'm itching to see a view of the station and the progress of the ride from the sky tower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2coasterfreak Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think the trains may be there. If they are going to or already testing, I would bet that SFMM is testing them when no one is there like at night or in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Even though the track appears to be done, it may not be ready for trains just yet. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they're not onsite somewhere, but I'm guessing it'll be at least a week before we see any sign of them.

Calicoasters Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I assume the ride wouldn't be ready for trains until the transfer and train storage has been completely built. Depending on how close they are running to deadline I'm sure it will be testing during regular park hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsk8erboi73x Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 My friends dad works at a nursery in San Diego. He has been shipping plants and trees to sfmm ever since the Goliath days. Just thought Id tell you guys that he text me on Saturday saying that he just shipped the trees and plants ordered for Terminator. He even sent me some backstage picture of Terminator (west coast bash views) but i will not post them because it's against the rules. Terminator looks awesome!
