New Picture

Looks to me like a drain. If you look further ahead you can see the concrete poured on either side of it.

It looks like the cars are back on the Big Wheel. Does anyone know what that large covered pit near the entrance is?

It's not the Big Wheel. It's called the Giant Wheel.

I thought the infield tunnel was by the tower. That looks like a ramp or something like that to get to the load station.

Does anyone know what the strip in the bottom, left hand side is?

I'm guessing that's where the rail/fence will go to protect the riders from the queue peeps...could be wrong tho.

OMG! The Space Spiral is leaning!!" Must be the weight of that new air conditioning system everyone keeps hypothesizing about...

there will be a tunnel most likely...if they are gonna install computers in the lines so we can do trivia stuff or what not and have a sound track im sure it will be indoors...

Houston...We have a problem - I can't seem to access the TTD site. Is this happening to you too?

EDIT: Nevermind - found out in "Test Runs" thread they may have taken it down...possibly for a big update.

Those pictures are great... It´s been a while since the last pictures. The project is really starting to come together..

I love the one showing off the trains, the colours look amazing in that picture, especially the red one! The little bushes will add a nice effect too.

I love those pictures too. I was surprised to see how close the grandstands are to the track. I knew they'd be close, just not that close. What is that like 10-15 feet away from the track. Wow, that will really give you a feel for the ride, quite literally. I think it will be hard to find a seat there, as everybody will want to be that close to TTD in action. Unless, of course, they're riding it.

Is it just me or does it seem like on the red train the nose of the train is missing. It just seems really close to the green train.

What is this tunnel everyone is talking about?

It's an illusion (about the red train) If you coun the seats it winds up working....I think.

CP rider I see what you are saying but i mean the nose of the train. Not the front car. But I donno it just seems really close to the green train. But like you said its more than likely an illusion.

The tunnel, MfJedi, is I assume the infield space in between the launch and break track. Or it may be the entrance tunnel under the track in the picture.

I figured it meant the entrance tunnel under the track,when someone said it went underground i thought i was missing something.

Its not going underground.
