[thatdancingbear]

Well, I'm back, and the original thread is deleted... Hmm

PTR by tomorrow!

[thatdancingbear]

Here we go again, my 25'th PTR and update this year! There is allot more going on at the park than usual (Yey offseason), so lets get started!

Driving up into SFMM, the first thing we noticed was this! Are they panting it?

Once we were in the park, I took my two little bro's and we headed toward Goliath.


A little update on the whole situation... Flashbacks gate is unlocked again (but in the closed position), and everything is cleaned up! Was this for me, or is it coming down very soon?

On our way through BBW, there is something strange up ahead...

The weather balloon's are back together, didn't ride them though.

GGP is entirely gone.

I think this is what is responsible for all the destruction.

Never seen this before... Now I know where the place is...

Contact me for an overview of the construction area.


From Goliath's queue, you can see the backside of the construction work.

All of the plants have been cut down, this shot wasnt really possible from Golitah's queue before. (all the pic's from me have been from the other side).

After riding Goliath, we went over to check on Batman (huge line), and I took this pic. Superman isn't THAT big...

Huh. This will be my only open gate picture, (yes, there was much more). Just reminding you all that its still going on.

And this is full again...

Gold Rusher's handrails are newly repainted. Also, there is a bunch of Psyclone track holding up the hilldside...

Woody's has been transformed into the water massage place that was blocked off by the blue walls over by BBW... Poor Woody :(

Psyclone's grave has a bunch of metal thingys out there...

Something for Thomas Town?

The Six Flags Coaster car is gone...

This sign is both new and outdated at the same time...

X has a sign up... Didn't see any X2 ads all day...

Closed for painting!

I have the strangest feeling about this sign. Oh wait, here it is -

Either way, Viper is still looking really nice! (only a couple loops to go)
http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/962/img0098jd5.jpg


I still like these eye shots (Yes, Im weird).
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/6505/img0100iw0.jpg


THATS what its for! After being mysterious all year, it finally shows itself!
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1173/img0103xd9.jpg


After riding everything but Batman, its time to go over to X and see what is going on.
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/6451/img0104ve8.jpg


There is the crane...
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/4687/img0107ct5.jpg


And powerwashing! Getting ready for a repaint perhaps?

One worker is up there...

And the lucky one is up there!

One last picture. From what we could see, the transfer track was moved over, and there was no trains in the station.
http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5411/img0119tg6.jpg


There are lights around the trees in the main entrance...

There was random holiday music everywhere in the park, and everything was really dead (except for Batman, which has been like that on my past 2 visits.)

Also, don't even start. I stayed in guest areas. If you need anything explained, ASK before you lie about me.

Thanks for reading!

Great PTR/Update! There are a lot of new things going on in the park right now, hopefully by this time next year, everything will look ship shape, walls will be down, things will be open.

[Sam]

Very nice Billy. I'm sorry I doubted you about this. Love the updates! :D

[Cody]

Awsome PTR as always.

Wow, SFMM actually put up christmas decorations this year!

[Xsk8erboi73X]

hey this is my first post, but i just wanted to say i really appreciate these park updates from you, i dont really go to the park as often as i like, and your PTR's really get me updated on whats going on, great update as usual! :)

[Jake]

Great update, Billy! I look forward to checking out X2 next season.. mmm

[rollercoasterfreak91]

Nice update. Viper looks awesome. I'm glad they filled up the lake behind The Stunt show again. Anyone know what X2's final paint scheme is? Black and Red?
The eye shot in the middle really surprised me.

[thatdancingbear]

Dan: Ill be there to cover it all!

Sam: Its fine. At least the PTR wasn't bad. :p

Cody: They had one little area set up, bit its better than I've seen before.

Xsk8erboi73X: Thanks for the comment!

Jake: How about I join you there?

rollercoasterfreak91: There is test paint on X right now. Blue Supports, Green Spine. From what Iv'e heard, it will have dark red rails and dark grey supports (think launchd).

[Jake]

Jake: How about I join you there?

Pushing to go for opening day, I'd be happy to meet up with you :).

[p0tat0]

Coooll!!! Wait did I miss something... whats with that giant wall?



hey that eye is almost the same as mine!

[Arez]

The 'giant blue wall' is closing off the construction site, where Thomas Town will open in 2008.
