The station is going up!
That's one of the downsides of this site, I like the simplicity but sometimes it'd be nice to post a picture or something without having to click through a link.
Regarding the station, I have to say I'm disappointed in it's design. There is no way, in a million years, that GK will hit it's stated capacity numbers (like I've said in other posts), especially after seeing how long it takes for people to leave the trains and exit, before the gates will open. That is all wasted time. I was devastated to see the addition of bins yesterday afternoon.
On more than half of my 21 laps, all three trains were stacked at the station. Sure, some of that was related to media day activities, but even in the evening when most of that was over, it was still happening. And that's even with all coaster freaks (who, presumably, should be faster in/out of the trains) were the only riders.
The next version of the forums has photo support. PointBuzz v3 is coming ... eventually. :) The live blog design was actually inspired by early work on v3.

An unload station was needed for 3 train operation, IMO.
When you visit CP, visit my Mill, est. 1835
This is probably wishful thinking, but it would be cool if they make a unload spot. Not necessarily a full station, but something like TTD. From the videos I've seen there, has been stacking with people sitting on the blocks for minutes. They could easily unloaded in that time. Possibly in the future, but probably not likely.
Not gonna happen for two reasons. One, it is sloped and the ground wouldn't be flat. Two, that's the transfer track area. I don't think there's room for unloading between the end of the transfer track, and the station.
I know that everybody complains about bins and here is another one. I usually bring a small drawstring bag to CP and going on Gatekeeper am told to put it in a locker. How come the ladies get to bring their bulky purses through the line and put them in bins but I can't take a small drawstring bag with me? I saw at least 3 big purses in the bin before I got on.
