I know it began before October of last year. Don't remember exactly when, but I do remember a construction wall at the back of the "boneyard" by Production Central for most of the summer.

I live down the road from a Six Flags Park. I have seen roller coasters go up in less than a year. Is it the economy that has caused this one to take so long?

No, it's the fact that it is a ride type that has never been done before.

No idea what TN means, but does this mean less frequent picture updates?
Unfortunately yes

Not exactly, it doesn't have the big black stripe and the logo on it. Plus it's very yellowish.

It didn't rip apart, it just came undone. It was put up in three sections and two of the sections fell during high winds yesterday... I guess they forgot to put holes in it to allow wind to pass through? Just another reason why I won't be riding this one in the first month...
EDIT:
Team member previews started tonight and everyone says it's great fun!

Oh, bad news, the ride just closed down for the rest of the day according to TMs. They probably did it because the park is supposed to close in two hours, and the line was a three hour wait from what I hear. Hopfully it will be opened tomorrow.
On the bride side, lots of people have rode the coaster, and so far are giving great reviews..

Between yesterday and today, I was lucky enough to ride it several times. It's awesome! Honestly my favorite parts are the entrances to the brake runs-- just whips ya right up there. The music you choose makes or breaks the ride. Busy Child was awesome, Sabatoge was cool, but my favorite (by far) is the Muppet's "Movin Right Along" easter egg.
No moving platform as of yet, but that's what technical rehearsals are for-- so no complaining! From all the guests I talked to that got to ride it today, they loved it.

Glad to hear such a great review! Sounds like despite all the delays, Universal's got a hit.
Now, I'm glad to hear another report of the supposed Easter Egg... care to share how specifically it's done? I've heard it has something to do with touching/holding the ride's logo for 5-10 seconds and then entering some 3 digit code...
