We have added the seventh part in the continuing series of Talon construction photos. Photos this time include the S-Curve, Helix, Transfer Table and a first look at the trains.

I was wondering why so many respondents were gushing over this coaster..then I looked at the photos! OMG, that looks intense!
Um, is that a 'midcourse':) brake run or an exit station after the helix? I don't think I've ever seen such a well-appointed brake run....

Can't wait for Coaster Con. I love the track right down on the ground.
Look att his crap, I never knew that Dorney Park and/or B&M could pull it off. I guess I should be grateful for Talon, because I never thought that Dorney Park would get an inverted, I thank god that I picked Dorney Park as my Annual Fun House.

Talon is going to rock, roll, and take its toll!
My grandmother lives in Allentown and unfortunately I haven't seen her in a year. Looks like I'll have to pay her a visit:) I also can't wait to ride Steel Force again.
Wow, a new king of the inverteds! Great job B&M, your still the best! This coaster could only have been built to this near-perfection by a veteran Co. who showed up "this time" not to fool around, but to kick some serious butt.
I think the layout and colors are amazing. I find it odd, though, how one train has blue seats and the other has black.

I'm not so sure that fading paint will be a problem. I asked about the brilliant blue on Millennium Force last winter, and someone told me that most coasters were using a more fade-resistant paint these days (i.e., no more "Mantis Paint Syndrome").
