I think the blue rim but especially the tint on the underside of the canopy looks nice in Shanghai, does anyone care that that’s missing? Of course we’ll have to see how it comes together but I’m worried they managed to build a worse version of it here.

I agree. I think the blue would have looked great in the Orlando version. So far the white seems so bland. Even space mountain has some blue in it. Why not put some of it on Tron too? (considering the movie itself has a ton of blue)

It may end up yellow with all the pine trees they planted on property. It will be interesting to see how it holds up to mildew, better than space or not?

We'll see if the canopy has non stick properties like Teflon.

Thrilldata posted a photo from Barnstormer that shows the status of the tunnel from the other side -

I WANT THE SMOKE. It's more "authentic"!

Well, they could at least run the train whistle while under there to blast the cycles as they go by. It could be a game!

Push-pull today if you’re in the park.

Do they have the clearance cages around the train?

There is a piece around the vehicles to check for clearance.

So long as the guests / passengers keep their appendages inside the train everything should be alright.

They probably have tested it with one of those "boards" I saw used for the EE build. It basically sticks out as far as they think people will possibly be able to reach and they run the train. If it hits anything then they know they have a problem and can fix it.

That’s exactly what they are doing.

So THAT is what Push-Pull means! LOL I honestly had no idea what that was called.

The car it's around isn't the bike style seat. Does that mean there will be traditional available as well? I hadn't heard anything about it.

Yes, it's an accessible vehicle.

I believe the last car of every train looks like this.

Yeah, the car is not allowed to move freely through the ride, instead it is pulled or pushed through to check clearances.

Where's the fun in that? I say that the lead engineer should have to ride in the first car on the test run. That way you can guarantee that they paid attention to everything and the ride will most certainly not break down all the time. LOL

Pfft. I never ride a bike without standing on it.

It works.
Most of the time.
Other times it leads to off season "adjustments"...

Ran without the modification for it's first season with a rule of "hold onto restraints" though that didn't do much and people kept smacking the support going 60+mph.
