A couple of things....

Yes that is the station. It actually resembles a military hangar which uses tarps like that for the roof. You can find pictures of real ones online and someone posted a picture of one on sfgamworld too.

There are no trims and if there were that doesn't mean they are going to be like Bulls because it's not Raging Bull obviously.

The old skeeball is where the exit/photo booth is.

Those go karts get a ridiculous amount of business now compared to the old location. Maybe some trees would help it look a bit better?

Well that sucks. Not to diss any military aficionados, but something more solid would have better suited the permanent nature of a roller coaster installation while still capturing the spirit of a hangar (refer to the preliminary renderings).

I'm not bothered by it, if it fits in well with the rest of the ride.

Yeah, quite honestly, I think some of you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Lots of hangars are temporary in nature, so this structure is fine by me.

Do we know what they're doing with the black frame on the front of the station? Is it for a sign, or maybe similar to what was seen in the concept art?

[AndCamSSI think Intamin should make a donkey!]

My guess would be for a sign. Guess we will see soon enough.

Nah, I'm just critiquing a design choice. I'll still ride the thing and love it nonetheless!

^ That is the most odd place a ride operator booth has been placed, right above the track! I'm sure it'll be interesting working up there.
