Thanks for the notice. That first pictures is sweet with Dragster in the background and the train in the foreground. It appears that the front wings have yet to be installed.

------------------
What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

I have to get front row when I go!

That first pic shows the awesome size of Dragster. It's probally the best shot to date of it. Those cars look saweet.

NICE, Those Trains look Amazing. I wonder when they will put all the Decals on the Trains. The trains look plain so far.

Those trains make my mouth water! They're so sweet. I can't wait to go and ride TTD!

---------------------

If magnum would sink below 200 feet, would it still be considered a hyper coaster?

They got there today (monday)

Nope look closer the wings are there.

Just can't live in that negative way... Make way for the positive Day

The trains did not arrive today. Today was a holiday. No Shipments. They've been there.

Some of you people need to learn who to listen to around here for correct info... (and no, I'm not talking about myself)

I dont really care when they arrived, they're are slickest looking trains i've ever laid eyes on. Lets hope the rest of the environment around TTD will live up to the theme of the cars, because if it doesnt, there's really no point in having stylish cars.

No offense, Gravity, but who should we listen to then? Part of my job is shipping and receiving, and the only shipper I know of that didn't deliver yesterday was the good ol' USPS.

According to CP's official website, it says, "January 20, 2003/Unloading first train section from container." That's good enough for me.

so, when will the rest of the cars and trains arive?

------------------------------

Top Thrill Dragster; it's nothin too short of an extremely tall coaster

does it matter?

It does to those who want to see what the other colors look like.

------------------
From 420 feet up, no one can hear you scream...

I think this is just the train that will do the pull through. They will probably just attach a middle car, back car, and front car.

Those pictures are great. I would suspect that the rest of the trains will come soon, if not already there.

For the pull through i'm guessing they will do the same thing as they did with millie. For millie they just had the first to cars of the blue train getting pulled.

Finally an annoucment.

I can almost bet you the complate second dragster train is on site. I did see a flat bed semi driving down I-480 *west* near Ridge Rd hauling what appeared to be a complate dragster train covered in a tarp. Since that tarp was wraped tightly, I was able to make out what was under it. (thanks to the great looking spoiler and front end).

Is it May yet??

That's weird...the first train came in a container...

CP Games 1991-92 (while many of you were still in diapers :) )

And there is absolutely no reason for it to be heading east on I-480
