New Pictures

Those look like queue rails to guide you and make sure you don't fall off the station. It doesn't look like the actual "seat lines" queue rails are in. That's what I see at least..

I got a question about the transfer track. On the CP website there is a picture of the transfer track. the way it looks like if to get a train on the transfer track the train will have to go in the loading station( then the transfer track will have to be transfer) then roll back onto the side track(storage track). Is that how it will work because it seem dumb to make the train roll backwards?

Dumb? It makes a lot more sense, for space and materials, than making an entire table that moves (a la the arrow mine train type coasters at Cedar Point). You'd need another 60 feet at least to do it that way, not to mention another 30 feet in either direction. This seems to be standard practice on the Intamin coasters, and is a far more elegant solution if you ask me. The trains are moved by the kicker wheels in the track.

Elegant and quicker if you ask me. I was lucky enough to be in line for S:ROS when they were tranferring a train off. The entire process took only five minutes. Stop the ride, lock out the dispatch, slide the table, roll the train back, slide the table, unlock the dispatch, restart ride. Granted with other transfer systems the process is very similar except you have to roll the train onto the transfer and slowly line it up with the storage track. This extra step takes a whole lot longer.
