Maverick Photo Update

If you look at the webcams you can see parts of the exit that there starting. It's not quite so clear but you get the picture.

I could have swore that Bryan Edwards said that you would exit on the Frontier Inn side of the WWL station.

It's not too often they'll put the exit right next to the entrance.

Jason - Check Mark's first photo link. Once you head down those steps, they switchback towards the Frontier Inn. You head under part of the station (where I assume the ride photos will be) and then turn left and exit right next to the Frontier Inn. I'm assuming that the entrance to Maverick will be near where the entrance to WWL was. I think there will be some queues outside (maybe the old WWL ones), some inside the old WWL loading station, then head up the steps into the new loading station and get on the train.

That doesn't look like a dispatch panel to me... looks like a transfer panel. I could be wrong, but all evidence points toward transfer (the light in the center is a blue light, not green, and the large amounts of buttons in general...)

Looks like a transfer panel to me. Especially with the key.

But does Kingda Ka really have a "seatbelts were checked" button?

Actually that's a dispatch button to launch a train manually in the tunnel.

^Like Gomez said it would be to manually dispatch a train in the tunnel, why would or how would they transfer a train inside the tunnel?

It's a panel to manually control the launch from the tunnel.

I bet its a way for them to launch the train in the tunnel if they have to. :)

Well you can't tell it was taken in the tunnel, but that makes sense too.
