Train tracks moved?

I have heard from someone who works there that the train tracks in Fronteir town over by where WWL have been moved outward a tad. Any thoughts on why this would be done?

1 word: 2007

The train tracks also got moved when MF got built.

Yeah, I was just gonna say, reminds me of 1999...

You both beat me to it!

5 feet for Millenniums lift and 18 feet for _______________.

Can't wait for that blank to be filled. I mean if 5 feet allowed for a 310 foot lift to be put in, then what's 18 feet gonna allow for?

It's only 14 feet at the max point. remember we are dealing with a curve in our line here...;)

Where did you get these dimensions from?

Another souvenir shop, basketball game, or food stand?

Do we have proof other then words??

Ok, how much the tracks get moved does not necessarily correlate to how big the ride is going to be. It correlates to where certain parts of a ride might be and need more space than other parts.

Back in frontier town, where can the track move out 18 feet without running perimeter road out into lake erie?

5 feet for Millenniums lift, 18 for DIPPIN' DOTS.

mmmm Dippin Dots...

Trust me, I've seen pictures. The track has been moved.

Ahh, but that means they're out there somewhere.... ;)

Good Luck finding them. I doubt they're posted anywhere, yet.

Did you stumble on them out did you find them on a site you visit normally?

And about the actual move, I'm thinking that it's the most probable area for a lift.......IF it's a monster coaster (this is all my guess). I'm thinking this because it's the longest stretch of land on the WWL site and it would make sense. BUT, like cp&le rr guy said, that stretch is/was on a slight curve so now I'm thinking, at what point did they alter the track(in the direction the train goes)? Right after TC, where it use to curve in?...or somewhere else?
And exactly how long of a section was moved? Looking at Windows Live Local, it seems to me that a good 600-700 foot (rough estimate) section could be moved closer to Perimeter Road.....which means that the new section of the track is now longer......which means that the train rode is now a few more seconds longer, YAY!!!!!!:)

P.S. - Does anyone know how to save a picture when on the Windows Live Local site?

The pictures were shown to me by a friend. The track move is now complete, I believe.
