It's looking good, but the way there is only yellow on one part looks slightly awkward. I guess we'll see how it turns out in the end if it all blends together. Or if more yellow goes in.

[EastCoastn07“Fear can make a donkey attack a lion”]

Why would just that one section appear to have yellow rails and not the others?

Maybe because the others haven't been painted yet? Just a thought.

Aren't they painted at the factory?

The rails on the piece of track that is going up into the first tower has its rails painted yellow...they weren't yellow a few days ago. Seems to me that the pieces are arriving solid red and are having their rails painted yellow on site.

^Interesting they would do it that way.

Seems to be a lot of interesting things: lack of dual/sliding 'Mr Freeze' station, what appears to be a 'longer than expected' installation even though the bay area weather is pretty generous (There goes my guess of a mid-late June opening considering there's still testing this thing has to go through), and mysterious yellow rails appearing.

Looking forward to actually seeing some more track going up!

Yet another update on their FB page. It's nice to see them moving along with this. I've never seen a train on uncompleted track before.

Why are they saying "first train" if they only have train at all? Maybe they meant to say car?

I think that's a safe assumption seeing as there is only one train for the ride.

Yeah, nice try SFDK... ."First train" haha! I agree, i'm sure they meant to say car.

Awesome!

This ride is really starting to pick up the pace is construction!
