Nice, thats what I call a transition!

DAMN, thats a quick transition!!! Awesome pics too, thanks!

Y'all ready for some serious sidewindin'?

Exciting.

I get more excited day by day.

I wonder how fast that will be taken at...because that transition looks like it would be pretty painful if its taken at really high speeds.

More pictures from Doug have been added at the link in the first post. Also, he sent some pictures from the staging area:

Boy, it looks like a low riding fast coaster.

That doesn't look like a bad transition looks cool, and it won't hurt.

Is it just me, or they really moving fast now? This is incredibly exciting. Great pictures!

Nice pics. That is definitely some serious sidewindin'.

I was there with Doug taking pictures. I'll see if I have any other angles that are of interest and submit them to Walt. Wait till you see that Transition in person. I think every CP Employee that walked past me said "Holy Crap" or "That looks like its gonna hurt". Nice to meet you Doug btw, I just kinda ran off after the 4th piece of the day was lifted in place. CROWDS WERE TERRIBLE. EVERYTING HAD A PROLONGED WAIT. So I just bolted :(

On top of that Skyhawk was only Swinging one Swing (good thing I hit its 4 straight times right when the park opened)

I'll tell you what, the reaction of everyone on the train (as you can see from the pics, I was sitting near the rear of the train) came down like a wave as it all came into sight. It was pretty amusing.

Everyone is all a chatter. The train was nearly full (the park was a tad busy for my tastes today!) and everyone within earshot was talking about the new coaster. I heard quite a few "We're gonna have to come back next year!"'s

Whatever the reason, starting this early was a good idea.

CRIKEY!

What the hell is that stuff in Staging?!

Is that piece connected to that support? What is it?

Yes, it is one piece...

BGRooDoG, nice to meet you too. And yes, the pictures don't do that transition justice.

My guess is Station Track

Why would station track be tri-track? And I think a transition like that would produce airtime.
