I am amazed we dont have any pics of the loop in place or any other progress reports.  Anyone going soon?

Sorry. School is starting.  You can't see the completed loop unless you ride TNT anyway.

It has a face and it has hands.  Maybe this is a high tech replacement for the Waterclock.

There's no good way to get legal pics of the loops in clear view, but you should be able to get some kind of shot from the EH bathrooms. The problem is that they aren't very large apparently. The drop really is one of the tallest elements of the coaster. It's packed into the valley. I guess that's part of how EH will still be able to operate. Probably need a sound wall still just for the drop.

Not when the EH shows really are after the park closes.

^But not always. Adding something around the drop would make it more thrilling and leave that door open. I hope that is the plan. Looks pretty barren around the track so far, no signs of any theme elements down there yet. They are promising some kind of "world-footprint" though...

I hope for theming, but really, the coasters at SDC are not themed outside of their names and their queues.  Once you're through the turnstyles, you're just on another rollercoaster.  World footprint could mean whatever they want it to mean.

I hope if they do they have a cool effect that makes it look like your actually time traveling or going though a wormhole and so on. ;D

I'm sensing some theme around the idea of time? Anyone else getting that vibe? The should call it Time Traveler.  ;D
