For those that don't know, I'm a huge rollercoaster junkie, and know a lot about them and different manufactures of coasters. It usually is tradition that the first people to ride or test a rollercoaster are the very ones who built it. My guess is that it is people from WDI, Vekoma, or construction workers. Being that this is Disney, I could be wrong but that's my guess. One thing is for sure though...whoever they are, they are darn lucky and just made me jealous!

Very cool.
Must be done with the required month or so of testing any new coaster must endure before a real person may ride. I'd have to agree that it might just be someone from Vekoma if not WDI.

Excellent picture! I might have to go there this week and check to see if there is still testing with people on it.

I desparately want their jobs -- I'd even do it for free. I can't wait for it to open and, even though I know not to get my hopes up, I'm still hoping for a chance to ride in December.

This photo is awesome and it's great to see that people are already riding the ride.
My question is: Have they fully installed the Yeti yet, or are the just taking trips on the track? Is the ride complete?

nice.
Seriously, though, it is great to see this thing is on schedule. People (regardless of who they are) on the attraction means it has passed some fairly significant safety testing. Granted, if the Yeti and other features are not installed yet, some post-install testing w/o people will likely be necessary, but it is a good sign. Glad its not me, though, because I want to see this thing fully together. Would be a bit disappointing to see it pieced together and never get that "full attraction" experience for your first ride. Just me, though!
Thanks for the pic!

I agree. I wouldn't want my first experience to be spoiled
