I expect a ton of bitching and moaning about the nets but I think it looks nice.

With a train on Launch 2 and nets up on the top hat, it looks like we may be getting close to some testing.

That's what I was thinking. Even if it's just a test for the second half of the ride.

Depends on if the wiring is done, haven't seen that yet. Also training for the commissioning team just started this week.

I just think it is weird to have a whole train down on the second launch now. It's obviously not for the clearance envelop pull through. And you would think that they wouldn't want it down there for weeks.

Odd, the painting seems far from done.

The top part probably is. They lowered scaffolding to finish the lower section now? I guess.

Everyone I've shown the concept art to who is not a Theme park person (cause I have lol) have been very impressed by how nice the rock work and waterfall look. Hopefully it all turns out as well, as I'm sure it will.

I don't think it detracts from the ride in any way. Walking around, you hardly even notice them.

Typically they wouldn't, but they have more trains than they have places to put them. The train in the tunnel is still covered in the ingen wrap so it's protected. The maintenance barn is full and so is the station. They have to keep them somewhere, that's about as safe as any place to keep it...plus they may be staging it there because they're hooking up the LSMs and checking to see that the train powers up.

I was standing under the top hat for 10 minutes and didn't even notice the nets there until I started walking away :lol:

The barns are designed to fit all trains.

Was there ever an estimate for the total train count?

I believe the storage layout is something like this, so either 5 or 6 trains. Taron has 3 storage bays and 4 trains, but I'd expect this to run 4 trains at most, with the rest in maintenance.

There is a ton of green algea on the rocks in the raptor pen area. Can we expect some sort of larger bodies of water on the floor of the pen?

I’ve never noticed the windows in the station overlooking the spaghetti bowl.

@Alicia do you know if the final launch will have a roof covering?
