SFGAm looks great! I was wondering how they were going to route the train. Will it go under the turn around into the station or around it?

^from the looks of this picture (I have never been to SFGAm) why would they need to change the course of the train at all? It should just go straight then still make the large turn after the X-Flights station. It does look like the transfer shed has been notched in accordingly for the trains clearance.

Thanks that makes complete sense... especially seeing that notch in the building like that.

^ Train course is not changing. It will go under X-Flight's transfer tracks, etc. They are literally relaying the tracks as they were before construction began. It's easier to remove them, and then relay them, then to have all that equipment drive over them.

That looks awesome. Hope my work travels take me back to Chicago this year!!!

It is a stunning coaster to see in person. The placement right on the midway is perfect. Can't wait to ride it this weekend.

It does look really beautiful right there by the midway. And the POV makes it seem FAST. Should be a great addition to the park, maybe I'll be able to get there after Lollapalooza in August.

It looked a lot slower going through the inversions while testing yesterday than on the POV, but it might just be a matter of perspective.

I wish Scream at SF:MM could get some grass seed.....is it really that hard?

^If you ask the park.......yes it is that hard.

I am quite familiar with this park's layout; however, I am a tad confused as to where they put this. I had thought it was going where IW used to be;; however, the shot of GAE's lift hill seems to debunk that theory...
