Very nice pictures everyone, good thing you guys got down there yesterday and not today   :shock:

If any of you visited CoasterSims last night to look at out update, sorry about the slow loading and whatnot.  There was a problem with my coding (mostly that I suck) and it didn't make itself apparent during testing of the page.  It loads a lot faster and better now.

Thanks for the pics everyone! It took a while to look at all of them :shock: Progress on ET looks like it's going great!

Great work
So many pictures they  all look good.
I can't wait to see the drop.
The infield looks like the track my be recessed some  ?

I will be there the day this Animal opens as I'm sure most everyone one this site will be.
Chuck why didn't you get hypnotised  ??

Hey, i remember that. I didn't get hypnotized but my friends did(Actually they were faking it).

Actually the reason for the huge hole in the infield is so that the water can drain away from the main site for right now.

OK
that was my second thought about the swale.

Yes I could tell they faked it  with almost all the other kids up there
it was funny

Did Kristen say if Toro will open when the park does ?
How about dual Season pass early ride times on Fridays for both Toro and King  ?
In other words did she answer any questions that we already don't know  ?

thanks
tom

They don't know when Toro is opening, they didn't set any dates on opening.

I forgot to ask about the early openings on Friday.

Are any of you guys ACE members  ?

ACE holds a Winter event near Allentown every year and all the local Park reps. show up and demo the new rides in Video and slide shows and construction updates they also take Q and A .
It's a good time to get some info on upcoming rides and events.

It's a fun time I won 2 dorney park tickets last year.
I could have took the GrAdv tickts but already had a season pass.

[ChuckR]

I'm not an ACE member, I dont know if anyone else is.

OK, so I just put my photos together on Photo-Bucket. Check'em out if you want, but it's  pretty much the same shots. If you click El Toro there is a sub album with Rolling Thunder pictures plus my other trips to CP,PKI,SP,SFA, SFAW and more.

I'll be shooting for Eastcoaster this year. Every year for the last 4-5, I've ended up being busy. Hopefully this year will be different!

Minor little update -

I've heard there is a small chance that a pathway from the back of Golden Kingdom (back by the elephants?) might be opened up which would land you right in front of Rolling Thunders station.  This would help ease the traffic flow down by El Toros turnaround as seen halfway down this page-

Anybody else heard such a thing?  Likes or dislikes on the idea?

[KingdaKaRuler05]

^So the path will go from Balins Jungleland to RT's station? That sounds good to me. They're going to need the most open space they can get because of not using the bridge. Also, it wouldn't make PDC a complete dead end.

well anything is better than what they have going on now.  remember what medusa lines looked like the first year?  The big scary intimidating way beyond the entrance and cobra roll 3 hour lines?  

el torro is going to look like that unless they do something with the pathways.


and im still angry about no bridge.
