Track Completion

Yeah, I must be blind beacuse I don't see any LSMs mounted either. LOL!!

Don't they usually pull the train through the course before installing items like that? Check clearances, etc etc... I mean, if there was a track alignment issue, it'd be easier to resolve if the LSMs weren't in place, right?

It took them over a month to complete the first half (s-curves, bunny hill, horseshoe) right? They have almost that much track to still complete.

Well then, Track completion should be complete by Early Novemeber, and then who knows, we might see the trains arrive. My opinion is to why they started early is they still have a lot of work to do with the station, they have the rock formations to work on, and they have the theming. Building the track and support construction was a good idea this early because it built up anticipation for guests and enthusiests like us, and they were able to get the hard part out of the way.

You should look at the layout a lot harder...

And who said they did see the LSM's installed? Is the track not "complete" without? If so, you're getting into a chest thumping match about something so not important I don't know where to begin.

Boy would that be a big slap on the forehead.
guy 1(Joe)-"Pheww!! Finally, 5 weeks into it and they’re perfectly aligned!"
guy 2- "Hey Joe! We found a misalignment on the lift. We have to correct it...."
guy 1(Joe)- *%^$#@!!!

Jeff - Coasterline said he saw LSM motors installed on the CP webcam. That's who I was responding to. I also said "almost" as much track. I'm not a moron, but thanks for trying to make me look like one.
