When I get home I'll post the site plan.
New photo/merchandise area built into station.
Most of queue is outdoors but covered.

Also... heard an interesting tidbit on where the next expansion will be, but lets enjoy this for now.

I'm so excited. This coaster is a lot more extreme than I thought. Glad the powers that be are trying to stay competitive with their rides. I'm excited to learn what Swoosh caught wind of today at the park for future expansion plans! MORE!

I'm disappointed that they didn't show off the design of the train cars!  :(

Thanks to everyone for posting links or photos today! Special thanks to Swoosh and Shave. This will be an awsome addition to the park. I'm still sad they could not implement the old Robbers Shack into the design, and I am still scratching my head as to why they didn't use the Butterfield Stagecoach line instead of the Great Western Line, or whatever it is, but all in all...A WONDERFUL ADDITION AND A BIG, BIG CONGRATULATIONS to all the park staff who worked so hard to put this together.  ;D :D ;D

A car is at the park, but not on the "tour"
Don't have clearance to post photo yet, sorry.
No OTSRs that I could tell

At just 87 seconds, it's a short ride, but it's certainly action packed. After you crest the lift hill, it just doesn't let up. With that kind of intensity, I don't think many people could stand it for two minutes or longer.

Hopefully the wait wont be a long one with two trains running and each ride being pert near a min and a half.
