Has anyone else noticed the shape of the track?  To me it resembles a cowboy hat.  Maybe it's the Graphic Design geek in me seeing the gestalt of it.

It does look like a cowboy hat I thought that earlier as well, I can't believe there are almost 100 pages on this topic!  Well, then again I can.  SDC is home to us, I love that the "characters" know us by name!

Alright, it has gotten unusually quiet around this project lately on the enthusiast side of things. Anyone planning to visit with a camera anytime soon? I'm sure the station exterior is finished by now. Maybe they've started on the plaza even. Who knows if they've completed the track yet or not - I know it takes a lot of work to go back over everything and add the final bolts and whatever else.

I'm sure once November hits we'll suddenly start hearing a whole lot more from the park about it. I'm sure they'll have videos of it testing even. I do wish they would post more updates for the time being though.

I took pictures when I was there over the weekend of the 15th but the pictures didnt turn out the way I wanted them to. Very cruddy. And what I saw and took pictures of just didnt do it justice. I couldnt capture it.

Last time I was on park in August, it was already to the point where  pictures could not capture the size and scope of this coaster. It is a big un! Looks like coaster fans are gonna have a good time with this one.

^I wouldn't call it amazing... You can tell the creator hasn't had a good look at it him/herself. The wave turn is nowhere near that large, and many of the angles are off by quite a bit. There are also a few extra airtime hills in there that don't exist (but I really wish they did now that I see that).

Speaking of photos, Chadster has come through with a fresh crop: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1230380#p1230380

Lots of progress on the station, they are indeed starting on the queue, and practically all the track is in place including the break-run and transfer.

I saw that posted on the SDC Facebook page. It's nice that the warmer temperatures allow the workers to finish the track so quickly. So they said it will be ready by Spring 2013 but I thought I heard some of you talking about how it might be ready in December 2012.

^It will open in 2013, but they will be testing by December.

The dive up, into, and through the lifthill looks just as insane as I thought it would be, and the wave turn after it should be pretty nuts too. Once again you just have to admire the thought that was put into this layout to make each moment unique and as intense as possible.
