... Now that I'm done drooling... Those pictures look awesome! I agree with you guys, it goes perfect into the skyline and really looks spectacular. It looks like it belongs there, except... so did Shockwave. But, out with the old, in with the new.

The only look I've gotten is a glance of Shockwave when it was partly dismanteled. That is all, wish I could get to see some of this, but then again, I got to see TTD in the building process, so I guess we're even.

Thats the only new one I made with the pics I took today. I might add more this week. Looks like the new one is already very popular, I might have to make some more Superman ones so not everyone has the same avatar lol.

Yeah, they need to get all the electrical wiring done also... I'm guessing that the trains are being stored inside somewhere.

Is the chain on the lift hill? jk LoL, sorry guys, I had to ask because of the huge controversy over Shockwave's chain being on or off. Looks like SFGAm must have some financial tie to the local lawn and garden center with all that dirt they have!
