Looks cool. Though I have a grave feeling seeing those tiny cars and seeing that big loop and the drop next to it...I dunno, I just hear a dark voice in my head saying "Rooolllllbackkkkkkk...ROOOLLLLBACCCKKK!"

:lol: :lookaroun

Thanks for posting.
wonder how long T2 3D will be closed for?

 

[Orangelake555]

When is the opening scheduled for anyway? Im going july 2 - july 19th. No I'm not british, just lucky. So maybe at least soft openings for then?

I'm guessing the official opening will be late June, early July... so if worst comes to worst, you should at LEAST manage to catch a soft opening or two. I would be surprised if the attraction wasn't open by then.

I wasn't aware Terminator was going down... when does it reopen? Any details if there's some refurb work going on inside? It's never too late for a T-80 shining...

 

[stitchtastic]

Omg

OMG!!! My stomach does a flip just looking at the pictures - can't wait to ride it in August!

 

[krankenstein]

Thanks James! :wave:

 

[1disneydood]

Yes, thanks for the pics. BTW, what building is the track going through in pic 31? Is it the same structure as pic 25? I've only been there once.

I forgot to mention, went to Uni this past weekend and T2:3D was open, so the refurb was just a day or 2 for what looks like some quick freshening up.
