Yes. We are working our way towards the turn around then the DROP! That thing should look insane once it starts to really take form.

How do you find hidden pictures? Did you just search or something?

Any way a really liked this picture that you found

http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/images/photos/IMG_2493.jpg

That one really does show how big El Toro really is.

Hidden pictures are found by changing the number in the image name. Last year they did this with Kingda Ka. People changed the number in the file name and found pictures that weren't posted to the gallery. I thought I might try it on the El Toro pictures and I found them.

I wonder why they do that. Oh well. I agree, that one of the lift from near the station looks sweet.

Hows that for painstakingly slow progress!

sfgadvfreak · « **Reply #56 on:** January 02, 2006, 09:20:07 PM »

I guess the 2nd picture gives you somewhat of an explaination of why they hide pictures. They put the pics on the site, and then find out they look a little blurry, or they just don't like the way they look, and post link them to the public.

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #57 on:** January 02, 2006, 09:44:56 PM »

See, but they still don't have to upload them to the server. I still want to find out why they hide some pictures from the GP and make us enthusiasts find them ourselves when we get really, really bored.

sfgadvfreak · « **Reply #58 on:** January 02, 2006, 09:46:50 PM »

But they can put them on the server then realize that it doesn't look the way they wanted it too, or that they just didnt have enough to time make a thumbnail of it as well. I guess they like leaving stuff for us to find and get happy about.

The park uploads them and somebody in the sixflags central IT department makes the changes. Thats why there is usually overlap between the two.

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #60 on:** January 02, 2006, 09:54:46 PM »

Oh ok that makes sense Wade. I didn't know there were 2 "commitees" working on the pictures and which were to be used and which weren't going to be made into thumbnails on the page.

chilled182 · « **Reply #61 on:** January 02, 2006, 10:05:53 PM »

keep looking for more matt. YOur on 24 hour watch. Im trusting you.

sfgadvfreak · « **Reply #62 on:** January 02, 2006, 10:07:52 PM »

Don't blink! They can update the site at any moment. We cannot miss a minute of update-ness!

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #63 on:** January 02, 2006, 10:11:00 PM »

I will make sure I keep up with changing the numbers on the images looking for hidden pictures. I should get a title "Hidden Picture Finder"

sfgadvfreak · « **Reply #64 on:** January 02, 2006, 10:12:32 PM »

Or your own forum/topic devoted to hidden pictures.

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #65 on:** January 03, 2006, 08:16:15 PM »

Two more construction pictures in the gallery:

Lift Hill
Cable Lift Motor in Place

chilled182 · « **Reply #66 on:** January 03, 2006, 09:58:53 PM »

resembles MF if you ask me. That is another good shot of the lift hill. Now i want to see some turnaround and droppage.

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #67 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:10:29 PM »

Well there are no hidden pics that I found of the new update so no turnaround or drop as of yet. Just a matter of time.

ChuckR · « **Reply #68 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:16:18 PM »

That is a steep lift!

Ha, I showed my girlfriend that picture and shes like thats a steep drop! :lol:

Nitro1118 · « **Reply #69 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:32:31 PM »

Nice picture of the lift.

Nick- It does resembele MF, but there is one difference....MF's is under lift, while this appears after the hairpin turn.

stew560 · « **Reply #70 on:** January 04, 2006, 07:16:51 AM »

Actually the Wheel looks like it is right in position. The picture is just decieving. In that picture the lift goes from right to left. It stops where contruction is currently at.

(lets see if this works without a monospaced font)

.....__
....|XX\
....|XXX\
....|XXXX\
....|XXXXX\

|XXXXX\

(ok it's a little steeper than it's supposed to be. Imagine a 60? lift hill!)

innervision · « **Reply #71 on:** January 04, 2006, 07:56:02 AM »

The wheel is right at the end of the lift hill. It was in place for the topping I know there is a picture of it floating around here somewhere and its also on the main page of Insider.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #72 on:** January 04, 2006, 10:55:04 AM »

This picture? I was surprised to see that the lift has reached the cable already. It would seem they have picked up the pace.

stew560 · « **Reply #73 on:** January 04, 2006, 11:07:38 AM »

It sure has!

WadeJ · « **Reply #74 on:** January 04, 2006, 11:35:24 AM »

But its moving so SLOW! :lol:

They sure are moving quick now
