In pic #12 it looks like we will unload before we get to the station. There seems to be an area of footers going straight to the station but the exit ramp is before thye station. What do you think?

[WadeJ]

The entrance and exit for the station are supposed to be the same as Viper except for the need to raise the stairs and ramp to meet the new station platform height.  One of the photo updates on our home page shows the cutoff ramp laying somewhere along with the showing how much higher the platform was going to be.

Thanks for the heads up on the phils photos

Amazing update....looks like the drop is complete right?

[Bubba Z]

^looks like the drop is freaking insane !!!

[PcMan]

ALso it looks as if the train will get a nice "running start" before the drop
the back seat flying over that drop will be insane.I can already feel my butt leaving the seat.
Also you can see where the top cable lift pully ends about 8 bents from the top in
Did you notice the access route near the front of Kingda ka  I guess this will be closed off to construction once opening weekend.
But only on the weekends as park not open Daily yet.
These are Phils best picture yet.
they look so close    great job.

I can't believe how much more work they are going to have to do to get El Toro open ! I'm guessing a late May opening. Atleast Kingda Ka will be open in the mean time to keep us occupied.

That drop looks crazy!! I want this to thing to open now!  :lol:

I'm sure the park does, too!

[Adrenaline Junkie]

Well I wouldn't go that far as to say the park wants El Toro open right now!  Six Flags gave away 45,000 free tickets for good reason, they want people to come back.  And with El Toro not being done yet it gives people very good reason to come back.  So in a way it not being open yet actually helps boost sales.

[PcMan]

If El Toro was open sooner more people would visit the park sooner.
Some may say:  they will wait to visit the park when EL Toro is open.
if a family will make one visit this year  why do it when the ride will be closed or those from out of state.
So we will not see any commercials for the NEW EL TORO  until late May.
THis will be a good thing for those of us that will be going to the park anyway less crowds ?
THis is just like last year  what Kingda Ka opened on  May 20th 2005  my first ride was May 17th

Only 4 days until I see this up close again.
