Terminator Coaster is Going Vertical!

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 lockers 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 rings game. She won a flower! "It's a flower!"

Thank You for the Update! I'm kinda disappointed the trains aren't running cycles yet. Oh Well! The queue is much more elaborate in terms of the # of structures and tunnels. Lots of little buildings near the station.

I would really like to see those silver tunnels painted to look "rusted" and old, rather than shiny and new looking.

This is because of all the work still being done during the day with the tunnels, themeing, etc. You can't have a coaster going through the course when you have workers everywhere.

Terminator Testing Update!


Some dudes checking out all that wood.


The sign peeking over the wall.


Yup, this all looks about the same.


This shot is 900% better with lens flare.


The station is sponsered by Tyvek.


I spy dudes with orange hats!


OMG! What is that?!?!


YES!!! IT IS ALIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!


Speakers. So Christian Bale can yell at the riders.


Ok, ok, enough of the lift hill all ready! Go over the top!


WHEEEEE!!!!!!!


DOUBLE WHEEEEE!!!!


BLURRY WHEEEEE!!!!!


MEGA SUPER JAPANESE BLURRY WHEEE!!!!!


And it's time for a little bit of station fly-by!


Hey, what's that big box doing following the train?


Those aren't water dummies....they are TERMINATORS!!!!


Darkness falls and I count 11 cars. (plus one giant box!)


Somewhere in that madness is a train...can you spot the train?


This is what it looks like when the Terminators travel through time.

The next update will be from MEDIA DAY!!!

[DisneyPro]

Thank you for the photos and videos of the testing; it's very much appreciated!

Can't wait to see the media day footage.

Will the station be completed in time?

[robbalvey]

^ I think so. A lot of stuff is going up very quickly. Even the difference between Sunday to Thusday and then Thursday to Satruday has been quite significant.
