They might be changing the colors to fit the Superman Theme maybe. I dont know just guessing.

What type of Superman theme would be brown and white, or any theme for that matter? Hmmm.......

Drove past this afternoon. Track is way past pretzel now. At least 2 banked turns are up. I wonder how much they can have left to do.

It's probably just the graphics.

This ride looks so awsome. It is gonna be heaven. I drove by it too yesterday afternoon and it looks like they are pretty much almost done w/ construction. It looks so damn cool, I cant wait!

Surfs up in Hollister, CA! Later Dudes...

UPDATE as promised - looks as if the construction of track is almost complete. There are a few empty supports remaining. Only about 2 months until this bad boy takes flight.

Later

actually, we're farther along than them. assuming that all photos are up to date, GAm has the second turn complete while GAd ends just before the second turn.

As of today SFGAm's ride is finished, I posted pics at my site linked below. They were having a Job Fair so the gates and everything were open so I was able to get pics from the drop off zone.

So what are they gonna do with the two months left? And when do you guys think they might start testing and the trains arrive? This is so cool. :)

------------------
Is it May 3rd yet? SFGAm

They said the ride would be heavily landscaped, so thats what they can do for these two months

Riding the Bull anywhere but the back is merely going for a walk.

CoasterDude316, did you get to see how much space S:UF takes up while at SFGAM? Is there enough of space left for them to put in another ride if they decide to?

I only drove up to the drop off zone and around the parking booths, so I couldn't really tell how much space was in front of it. I never got out of the car, there were lots of people there for the Job Fair and it almost looked as if the park was open the way people were going in and out.

At first I didn't think anything could look as well as Shockwave did in SFGAm's skyline, but this looks awesome. The only downpart is that you can't really see it from the highway. :( Oh well, I can't wait to ride it. :)
