Web Cam Activity and Testing..Oh My!

why would they turn the aircraft lights on and the the next minute turn them off...?

wow....

I've watched the trains being shuffled back and forth over the past few minutes. I'm convinced they're sending them over. The blue train was in the ready, red train in unload. The next refresh, red was up in loading as blue returned down the brake run and ended up back in unload in front of the camera. Now, unless they've got the trains playing leapfrog, I'd say they're firing them over the hill.

Actually they are BLINKING lights (similar to the one on MF). But the webcam only takes a still picture, so sometimes it takes a picture just as the lights FLASH and sometimes it doesn't.

Yes unless its magic, trains are shown in the turn around in one frame, then in launch the next and magically back on the brake run in the next!!

I am starting to think they are launching the trains too cuz one time the red train was in front of the other two, then it was behind them

Its all good Robby. Damn Gina is a saying like when something odd/funny/stupid happens/awesome happens...Like Damn Gina, they be launchin trains!

I now have to say i believe they are testing all the way over the tophat. At one time there are two cars sitting there on the turn around and then there is just one there and then all of a sudden its two again but they arent in the same order. so really the only explination is that they are testing them.

Or they could just be moving the trains around.

Chris posted the picture I tried to post. I've been watching the web cam for about a hour and the red train has always been in front of the blue train all the time so I think they're just testing out the system with 2 trains going at once and not launching over the top.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for the trains to switch positions. It may look like it, but it's not really happening.

Who said that the trains were switching positions? Of course that's not possible...unless they were being launched over the top.

I've said it before and i'll say it again. I will believe that they have started launching trains over the top hat when; a) i see a picture of a train on the top hat or, b) i hear official word from Monty that they have started testing 100%.

Please don't take this as being ignorant, or hurtfull to anyone, as i did not see the webcams when said trains were moving around, so this is how i feel.

How the heck is it possible for the trains to switch positions only if they are being launched over the top?? Use the thing inside your head and think about it. It IMPOSSIBLE for the trains to switch positions unless they found away for one train to leave the track so the other train can get infront of the other one. The ONLY way that the trains could be in different order if they switch them via the transfere track.

coaster runner why dont you think for just a second...say blue train is infront of red train. Suddenly the blue train is launched and is on the brakes...The red train is suddenly infront of the blue train.

Not really because if you think about it the blue train is still ahead of the red train because the blue train is farther through the course. But what they were talking about is say they had the blue and red on the turn into the station first then a minute later the red is in front of the blue on the turn into the station. Which makes them believe that the trains were launched.
