Its ok I just wanted to make sure the site didn't get credit for what obviously wasn't theirs. Yes The Sum of All Thrills arm is nicer looking but something tells me FJ is more complex since it travels on a track plus has some extras built in thus why its not as nice looking

Very off topic..
this is why i like the way that disney does things. In disneys CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE they already revealed a sneak peek look at the prototype race car being put on the test track at the Radiator Springs Racers. And I think it opens like in 2 years.

And we are still waiting for an official picture of the FJ arms !!!

take a look

Well, enjoy riding this glorified Test Track.

and of course the FJ arms need to be a lot stronger as there is an extra two people aboard ;)

This are some technical monster of machines, and I know without a doubt that have some huge computing power on board.

If we see any Official pictures of the ride vehicles, they will be photoshopped/desigined to look cooler then reality. Similar to the Flying Bikes on E.T. or that Elevator in Tower of Terror.

It's all part of the illusion, there is no reason they would show us how it all works. Unless there was a "behind the scenes" making of video...

I think there is a good chance one of the NBC stations will air a making of Harry Potter world/island special.
Free advertising for the park and they would be able to use it to boost ratings and every 2 minutes would be an ad
for the park (not that the whole special is not a park ad)

Well I'll be up the weekend of the 28th - 30th as well, more than likely since package holders will be able to experience the area, we should too. After what time? I don't know, but I am an AP so I better be able to get in.

Thanks :-) Now I'll just have to convince my dad to drive the total of 4 hours and leave my Grandpa, who will be in rehab due to surgery, with my uncle. Am I too evil putting harry before pop? :sneaky: lol

Ok just got back from the parks, and man was it dead. A couple of things I noticed, while I was there.

-The final spire is painted
-There is a new sign inside DD where you select your dragon, sorry no pics I was being herded through like cattle.
-Inside the castle there is a soundtrack playing (Forget the name of it toil in trouble or something) and once you get to the area where you pick your row there are sound effects of someone saying slay your dragon, and there are dragon roaring noises as well it sounded really good.
-As seen in one of the pics below, there looks to be a second entrance into Dervish and Banges coming from the dueling dragons exit. This might be old news but I never knew it.
-Oh were so close I can feel it!!!

Enjoy the pictures!!!

It is going to be really to not watch that, but hopefully I can.

Just noticed they finally painted those gutters. They stood out like a sore thumb when they were white and everything else was rusty looking. We're getting closer.:dance:

I'm stoked about seeing the spire finally painted.

Regarding the snow - I sincerely hope it isn't frequent if they use the bubbles. That stuff is extremely annoying if you wear glasses!

What part of that image seems unfinished? If you mean the dirty stucco areas above the windows, then no... that is how it should be.
