May 10th Terminator Update
Here is today's overview shot. As you can see a lot of work on the station, the transfer track, the pre-show buildings, and the entrance.
Mr. Big Crane is back in action!
Not much wood yet. There are some trains down there, but you can't see them because the ride is blocking the view!
Here's where a lot of this week's work has been done. Lots of work on the station, transfer, and show buildings.
The ride entrance has gotten some love. Looks like they are going to funnel people through the shop as you exit.
Here you can see the proximity from Psyclone's old entrance and Terminator's new entrance.
Queue areas got some shade and some barrels have been added.
You can see the beginnings of a tunnel that will come right after the station fly through. Maybe we'll see some effects in there? Fog? Lighting? Let's hope so!
Lots of people are on hand today to get this thing done!
Looks like fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo going in just on the other side of the bridge? That's my guess anyway.
What could that strange tall box be for? Onride camera? Handicap elevator? Terminator homing device?
KidTums says "Yay! Now I can ride a B&M floorless!"
Back on ground view now...this looks about the same...
Although a new backstage door has been put in.
Gee, it's really good that I didn't need to change Kristen's diaper being that there isn't a changing area in this "renovated" bathroom. C'mon Magic Mountain, couldn't you have sprung for the $180.25 Dollars that it would have cost to add this? "Renovated Bathroom" = FAIL!
I see some new barbed wire has gone up at the ride entrance.
Yup, there it is in all it's glory.
Here's what the bridge looks like!
And OMG! Bridge from ANOTHER ANGLE!!!! OMG!
This beam has had poop smeared on it!
Mr. Blue Cherry Picker was hard at work today.
For those of you with a cherry picker fetish, this photo's for you!
Station fly by FOR THE FREAKIN' WIN!!!
OMG! Yes....YES!!! It's in station fly by from...ANOTHER ANGLE!!!!
I spy Millennium Flyers!
Trainy, Train. Train. Train...Train....
Still no progress on the tunnel. Maybe they have to wait and see if the train fits through first!
New Sand Blasters name or product placement? You decide!
And finally, we'll end with update with KidTums playing the ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings game. She won a flower! "It's a flower!"

OMG! ORGASM!!11!1!!!eleventyone!!1
I'm so excited for the opening of this beast! My only concern is that it COULD be amazing, or it COULD be rough as hell. Can someone disprove this? |

Good to know 
Terminator : May 25 here I come!
Random question : Do you think a Q-Bot will be necessary on May 25 for Terminator/Rest of the rides? |

Awesome stuff Robb. I really hope they get this thing open in time. I'm really beginning to have my doubts.
The ride is looking awesome though. I think it's safe to say that this will be the best woodie in CA upon opening (not like that is saying much though considering it's competition).

That looks like the ADA elevator access.

^ Would it be feasable, or even safe to have the ADA elevator access go over a portion of the track??? Because it certainly looks like it would have to go over the track if that's what it is.
My guess, more themeing/on-ride photo spot.

Wierd PM's for the win.
So here's the original post.

I was kinda hoping the very front train car would have a metallic Terminator face on it. Oh well, and as for the trains, I don't think they'd look any better on the track because metal doesn't really go well with wood.

And the PM

How did you see the front end of the Trains.

Does this guy work for SFMM or something, or was he just mis-interpreting my post? |

Well considering you can see the exit to the station is gonna have to cross over that same piece of track, I doubt it's a big deal. |

^ I didn't see that Wes. Your right, it's probably going to be the wheelchair elevator on the exit side.
