"Don't hesitate to introduce yourself! Even if they look focused, they enjoy feedback of any kind!" (wrs28330)

I've run into Jay and Neal in the park, and they've always greeted me with a handshake and a pleasant conversation. And if we walk a bit, they greet random guests. It's funny to see the reaction when two obviously important park officials take a moment to at least say hi, wish them a good day, or ask how they're enjoying their day.

Yeah, SFMM has come a ways...a LONNNG way...

Only progress I was able to see was the lift. Its about half way done? Still quite a bit of track work. But they had like 25-30 guys crawling around working on it so completion may still be very soon.

PS. Sorry for the horrible quality of the photos. My camera phone isn't the best.

Thanks for the pics. It's great to see that the lift is half way done. I can't wait to see the final stretch of construction for the ride. And judging by the progress that could be happening pretty soon. ::D

^Trains don't get to the site normally until the circuit is complete.

well it's all gonna be easier now, if they can get the top part of the lift hill finished off that fast, it shouldnt take too long to place the bents for the bottom, anyone know when they're gonna start station construction though?

Ride looked good today. Lift looked like it was almost done. Couldn't tell if the rest of the track was done yet or not. I'd imagine they have to get the pre-show buildings in there before they can finish the fly-through and stuff, but couldn't quite tell.

That's one good looking roller coaster. My only problem with the ride is the same problem I had with it when it was just a rumor: WTF IS UP WITH THE TERMINATOR ROLLER COASTER BEING A WOODIE!?! Nothing screams robots more than wood!
Wood-7 Steel-57 Liquid-2 Total-66 (CoasterFanatics banner stopped working for some reason)
Top 5 Steel: 1. Millennium Force - 2. Maverick - 3. California Screamin - 4. Raging Bull - 5. Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune
Top 5 Wood: 1. Viper - 2. Blue Streak - 3. Screamin Eagle - 4. American Eagle - 5. Mean Streak (With the only other one Ive ridden being Gwazi. I seriously need to ride more wooden coasters)

Wow, Robb get's the exclusive views!!! Awesome stuff. I can't wait to ride this. Couldn't believe how much had been done since WCB.

I thought the turnstyle things were interesting.
