Jeez! Construction is flying down there.
I want it finished this ... if you can arrange for end of Summer ... say Labour Day Weekend that would be appreciated.
Great shots Twisted Rail dudes! Always look forward to your updates! Keep it up!

If Lifes a Rollercoaster, I want a Flawless
It's funny, it would be better if SFMM advertised these rides as 2002 additions that you'll see in 2001.

sigh, SFNE goes "tiny" for 2001
IMOHO the tallest support for the RT looks ugly, except when viewed from the other side (same side as Viper). Then again there is no other way of supporting it seeing as how heavy the trains will be.
for a side note before karl arrived i talked to a construction worker who had a very familer accent, Then i rembered Georgia had Vekoma Eigeneers come down, so this guy must be from there, He said One Month, which is different from every one else who said two weeks. Tahts when we dashed over to see the trains, me and a friend of mine. The are green lap bars dark green, and i think some other maybe black couldnt see seats, i only got as far as the bridge over towards it.

Ohhh...that Raven turn looks delicious!
X has been vertical for 2 months. Construction is going fast, but I wouldn't really say its "flying".

Deja Vu is coming very close to enter the testing phase. The motors were installed on the vertical spikes this week, and the cables were threaded onto the ride as well. The station structure and entire ride is complete and it seems that the only thing they're working on is the queue line and the dropping station platform.
Hey, I just got done checking a few stats on X for how long the ride length would be. From my sorta fuzzy math (yet it worked for Batman: the ride) it gives me a shorter ride length for X than that of Batman. Is this right? I really want to be proved wrong on this one, someone please prove me wrong!!
X - 3,610 ft
Batman - 2,700 ft
But i dont know about ride length (time), so you may be right...
Considering the height and speed, actual ride time on X will be about the same as Batman, very short. But Batman's length never stopped it from being my favorite invert for many years.
X is all about the drop. Everything else is gravy.

The trolls shall remain under the bridge, hidden, and without food to grow.
I don't think everything else is gravy. That 175 foot raven turn, that flip right before the turnaround and the second raven turn look awesome.

Déjà Vu: Thrill seekers plummet from 196-feet, fly head-over-heels at 65 mph over the outside of a vertical loop and a giant 110-foot high boomerang turn with nothing but the sky above their dangling feet.

How long do you think it will be before deja vu opens?
At Six Flags Great America I was told by a worker that they are aiming for a July 28th opening date.
The best looking thing on X is the 90 degree track angle on the turn around. Completely perpendicular to the ground should make for real exciting turn.Oh yeah, the drop and raven turn look fun too. :)

Just a couple of G-force junkies!
I was just there yesterday and the trains for the vu look great and X's raven turn is incredible.
