You can clearly see that the queue goes right up to the water element. That should be cool to watch during long lines.

Have we heard for sure that it will not include sprayers and just be still water? I can't imagine them putting them in with the queue so close.

Why not? It may not be as spectacular of a water effect as you may be imagining...

Here is a picture from today that I took showing the very first car for X-Flight that was put on to the track.

I cannot wait till we see a full video of the ride testing. I hope they do that.

I guess now we know why the webcam is down

Ton of TPR pics. Too many to post individually :S

[DejaVu2001]

^ Are those the ones from their March 26th construction tour, or are they newer ones? (I cannot access TPR, so if they are new ones, I need to have someone else get me the files).

[Falcon]

Ya there from the 26th. Rob banned you from TPR?

[DejaVu2001]

^ Yeah. Long story. Someone said Iron Wolf used to run 3 trains, and I asked for proof. Then a mod took his side and gave me attitude, so I returned the favor. They later decided Batman also used to run 3 trains

When will they put on the decorations to the cars? I thought they would have added those to the cars before they put them on the track or do they need those off while they put the cars on? Sorry, I made that sound confusing.

[FreezonEdgez]

Hoisting a car on a crane with decorations already on it isn't a very good idea....something could break.

[ttd rox]

^Good point. I wonder how long it takes them to add the final touches to those trains. I'm sure it isn't much work.

[DeathbyDinn]

Swarm and Wild Eagle were delivered with their train covers on, but I suppose looking at the way they unloaded the trains having the covers off would make it easier.

I remember that happening. It all sounded like a bunch of crap.... lol

"The extreme fly-through on #XFlight sure is starting to come together!"

[ViperFTW]

^ Wow! I'm really glad that they followed through with the key-hole. It'll be a really nice touch to the ride. It will definitely will make it stand out a little bit from other wing riders.

[Ilovthevu']

With how slow they are working all of a sudden, I really wonder if it will even be open by May 12th.

They don't have the full trains on the track yet. - (2 rows of 1 train only I see) They didn't finish the keyhole, and I don't think the other building is up yet either.

Yes, they do seem to be running out of time to complete this. But then again, for all we know the keyhole and other building may go up fast. Hopefully all goes as planned, and testing can begin will plenty of time until opening.

Today's Twitter photo

It looks like they are doing pretty well on the hangar.. Hopefully it comes along quickly. Also, i think that they may be putting down seed or sod around the helix soon. Hopefully the landscaping looks like what the B-Roll video's landscaping looked like.

[CstrFan512]

^ What you see is the control tower, not the hangar. From that picture I can't see the hangar even started.

[ChicagoCoasterGuy]

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but it does appear that the que is going through the base of the control tower as you can see the cement has been poured up too that point.
