If they have LEDs on the trains, this will be a really cool effect.

You took the thought right out of my head! I swear even before Scott posted that picture I've been thinking of that.
This is exactly what I'm picturing. The tunnel pulsates faster and faster, until the train bursts out and produces a zooming light. Either that or the track itself has lights as well, which I think was rumored earlier pending some electrical devices that have been recently attached.
I'm trying to figure out how to make a gif in photoshop and I'll see if I can make something.

Yeah it's awesome and it's definitely not black, I don't know why it looks black in some photos.

Scott please stop becuase you're just going to make me really disappointed when this doesn't happen IRL.
I think that's me done for the time being. I'm feeling quite proud I learned how to make a .gif.
I'm sure this is something Universal could easily add if they haven't thought of it already.

I hope they do this because this is really an example of when a ride becomes more than a ride. Seeing lighting like this would becon you towards it. The story begins before you even get in line. It gives a feeling of kinetic energy to the whole experience.
It's like Tower of Terror -- strip everything away and it's a simple drop ride. But it becomes more than the sum of its parts when you put all the stuff together.

As anyone seen testing going on or heard if testing as begin. i through testing would of start
They have a bit of a ways to go before they can start test runs. For instance: getting the trains on the actual track.

That's one of those "nearly impossible" scenarios (which do happen), but I'm sure they would take a crane and give it a pull one direction of the other. It would be a PR nightmare, but it's an easily remedied problem usually. Really the worst case scenario is a train with a bad wheel that stops it it an inversion. It's very rare though.
