I've heard that they may have attached a section of track to the lift hill today. Was anyone out at the parks earlier?

TPI has one photo of the bottom section of track that starts up the lift hill in place:

I drove by this morning but all I saw were a couple of cranes next to the lift hill, but no new pieces had been added... at least from what I could tell.

YEAH progress is happening!!!

Are there going to be TV’s or something in the queue or just stand in line? Or does no one know just wait and see.

Apparently the lift hill is being worked on as we speak.

Hopefully testing will start next week.

That is only if they have all the electrical work done in the station, as well as the evacs done. If it starts next week, I'll be surprised.

They have been working on the station for a while now. :shrug:

Yeah, but most of that was exterior and just some concrete walls/barriers surrounding said station. It didn't look like much electrical work was being done. I mean, I'm sure some was done, but I'm pretty sure they have to wait for the lift to be done to finish electrical work in the station, seeing as the lift must connect to it.

Wow they got those pieces up right quick!

Looks like the alternative exit/entrance in between the Universal Store and Jimmy Nuetron.

Looks like there are TV's in the queue.

I agree. Good old tubes (or so it appears), as opposed to flat screen LCD's like the Simpson's got. Kind of strange considering this thing is being touted as the most technologically advanced coaster ever. But they couldn't shell out for the flat screens. Ironically hilarious.
