Hey all.I was just getting home form work this morning and made a quick check on the web cams and noticed a train sitting on the brake run at the rear of the station(or what appears to be).Now just a question to ask:is it possible for the operators to move the train backwards through the station without going over the top?
I know they can kick them around but just dont know how far back and the train sems to be in front of the station coming in.Thanks for the input.

Are you talking about this?

That train has been there all morning, since 9:00 I think.

http://funcam.funcoast.com/ and http://www.cleveland.com/cedarpointcam/index.ssf/video.ssf

I see two trains in the load station, the green and red train on the ground and lots of cars, trucks and vans moving around on the cleveland cam.

You'd think they are a couple weeks away from opening the park.

TTD is testing FINALLY! They also said that the trains have no trouble clearing the top! Also the trains have no themeing but really cares. The two trains are Red and Green. TTD's main Hydralic system was removed and a new one was installed! The oil is good and TTD should be open the first day! Hip-Hip-Hooray

I've been watching both the Fun Cam and the Cleveland cam and I still haven't seen any trains go over! I started watching at 4:00 and im typing this at 4:30....so maybe they just quit testing for the day.

How do you know all of this? I dont think TTD has tested yet. I have had the web cam minimized and have been checking it all day. The trains moved in there earlier and nothing has happened since.

They did test this morning, but from what I have seen, havent this afternoon. They dont have all trains on the tracks yet, so it appears they are easing into the testing. It will pick up.
