Thanks Scuttle for the great pics. Btw, your plane wasn't too high off the ground this time for these pics.

Looks as if we're looking at the main rise of the mine train going to the top of the hill. It's too steep of an incline to be going down, so riders will be going up the slope from right to left. (Per the 5th photo)

You would be correct in your analysis.

I was thinking the same thing. Also, on BaTB, it looks like the top couple of rows of scaffolding have been removed.

I think there is a couple resons for this. I don't think it means all that much as it relates to how 'thrilling' the coaster ride will be. Heavy supports have to be maintained less and can handle the stresses better even if they are relatively minor. Space Mountain has always had problems in this area because they could not build with such massive supports. Also coaster science has come a long way and they usually build them to last longer these days. Secondly though, they need supports like these because it is possible they will also be supporting some of the show building (the actual mountain) itself. It will be fascinating to see it built.
By the way, someone mentioned damouse blog. They have pics of the castle walls that are way beyond what the artist renderings reveal. AWESOME!
Way to go TDO!!! :sohappy:

That's actually not possible structurally. Unless they want the building to come apart and collapse after a few runs. They'll have to build the structure independently of the track. What you are seeing is solely for the track. Think EE (minus the yeti :lol

Good pics. I'm glad to see they're not dragging their feet with this.

Oh I didn't think at all that it meant it was going to be some screamer coaster. I know it's more of a planned mild/fun experience rather than a terror/extreme one (for which I'm actually pleased. I hate coasters really.) It was just a comment observation for those who haven't seen it in person. It's just much more "solid" to see in real life then it looks in the pictures. (And it looks big and impressive in the photos, just more so in person.)
