8 cars? I thought X-flight would have 7. The forces on the back seats should be quite forceful, comparing it to the swarm.

All 8 cars of the first train are on the track now.

I honestly am getting a bit more excited than I expected that I would. ;)

shouldnt the tower theming be under construction before they do the envelope testing, or has that been dropped from the plans?

I'd love to know how many times in the last ten pages it's been asked if the theming stuff was getting dropped. The answer is the same every time, read back a page or two...

As for load/unload procedures, I'm guessing the station queue gates are further back from the trains to allow passengers to get off and exit through a sort of exit queue? Can anyone speak from other Wing Riders?

On The Swarm, you get on the train as normal by waiting at the gates in rows. Then when the ride has finished, you get off and walk to the front of the train where the exit path will be. After all the people have cleared the exit path, then the gates open for the next riders.
