More Feb. 23 construction

TTD wasn't quite ready for opening day. Remember the four car trains, lack of finishline/christmas tree, only three trains running in ghost train mode, no christmas tree on the tower, no speedometer, and I don't believe that's even all of the uncomplete work.

Lucky for them, the park was only open one day and they had another four days to get everything finished.

Given their progress, I'd bet they'll have plenty of time to finish up before opening day.

I'm sure many of you will find this very interesting. I really hate reading something such as this because that sixty some days seems much further away.

NOTE: Large trees.

Where did they take the one Train that has been sitting on the Track in Front of the Station for a Long Time?

ooohhhhhhhhh!! Large trees sounds promising! I'm excited that they're doing the "real" rockwork instead of the fiberglass stuff some people thought they might use. I can't wait to see this bad boy complete.

I think it should be pointed out that "large" is a very subjective term.

Well at least they didn't say sapling.

Or shrubbery. :)

Now they must get us another tree and place it next to this one so as to get a two level effect with a little path running down the middle.

Could that other line we saw going through AC be the other line Gary was takling about, the one that will be used temporarily for testing?

^^ Just so long as they don't try to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest . . . with a herring!

They're spoiling us again.

....Have they ever not opened a coaster on opening day?

Well, they didn't open a coaster on the opening day of the 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2005, or 2006 seasons, to name a few. ;)

Update! Theyre moving the train!! omg! ;)

I know you had a winking smiley there but I feel I must say that they've been moving it back and forth since the end of last week.

Yeah, that's exactly why I put it in the post.
It'd be awesome if they did full circuit tests tomorrow with the b e a utiful weather we're going to get. Of course, I know that's not going to happen......but I can dream cant I?:P

Geesh they made a lot of progress today. They got a lot of the station up and most of the tunnel is done too. This morning they barely had any of the tunnel done and just a small portion of the roof on the station. Very nice!!

I wanna see! but pictures aren't loading at school today for some reason. :(

Don't take this weather for granted too much here Adam. Our Ohio weather is more tricky down here then it is in Michigan. By the way I like your Chuck E Cheese suit. :)
