Haha, yeah. Im just waiting for something like that to happen.
From what i've heard there is plywood being put up on the structure now as well, so during adrenalin week people will not be able to see into the building, and it will allow them to start work on the drop feature, and start installing all the mechanics of the ride without the risk of them getting wet.
I've also heard people speculating stupid ideas about the cars, coming up with ridiculous ideas that typical fan boys do. They are going on and on about how the cars will most likely be heavy, and could have some special feature (of which the only realistic one ive heard is onboard audio), but i seriously doubt that there will be any sort of spinning involved like a few people are saying, because that would totally make the switch track obselete. Because of the thinner track, i imagine we're looking at a regular, light coaster train, which can hopefully maintain quite a lot of speed through the first section.

I quite like this photo as well. It shows the backwards drop into the trench after the drop track. As you can see, the lead in to the drop isnt very tight, and the helix looks quite wide and long. This surely means there will be a very small launch backwards, rather than just crawling out backwards, otherwise the train will surely not have enough momentum to make it back up to the station? Which is a little bit more exciting than i hoped. If i am wrong though, we are looking at a very dull final helix.
However, i did hear a number of people say that trench is quite a lot deeper than it looks there.
But yeah, i am clutching at straws a little bit, hoping this is going to be a fun ride, rather than a half arsed train ride through the woods. If the ride is fast, the layout could be good. If it isnt, then we're screwed.
