No pics of said train but they believe it to be on the transfer tracks.

Last piece is suspected to be up tomorrow at some point. Stay tuned folks!

^That fouth picture in your post is absolutely incredible! I can't wait till this thing starts testing!

Poo.. I wanna see the trains.. unless I missed something.

 

[D1993]

awesome update, I have a good feel for the whole layout now.
And the station is looking really nice too .....
I'm just dying to wait to see this open!

A question though, after the near 90 degree overbank turn it does over comet towards the end:

I'm referring to the overbank in the background that goes right over that little turn on Comet......
Does it then hit the brakes or is there more to the layout? Like another airtime hill or twist or something?

Alrighty thanks guys.
I can't wait to see what the view looking up comet's lift hill will look like now!
Much more exciting, I'm guessing!

 

[CoasterCrazy]

Certainly...

Time for another update (Blimey, that was quick KST!)

Not much to say here but...

Welcome back to HersheyPark...now I don't remember THAT being there last time...

Hello Stormrunner!

Hello great Bear (with no wheel covers!?)

Hello Robin!

Hello Skyrush tat!

Hello footer!?

But most importantly...hello Skyrush! The creek walls now have poles for fencing...

Check out the clocktower, and more at http://keystonethrills.wordpress.com/ ! :--D

The station is SO RCT3.

I do like the look of this coaster, just looking forward to seeing how it rides.

Well, now it looks even better! :--D

Photogenic...

Congrats, coaster nerds. You have successfully made it through the offseason!

Thanks.

A sign of testing to come? (I sure hope so)

Or it could be a marking of where they need to address an issue...doesn't make much sense as a reason to start testing...although it doesn't mean they won't

 

[Antinos]

The spot where rails are joined together are often sanded down a bit to ensure a seamless transition. That doesn't look fully sanded to me, but it could be a mark to show where the rails need to be sanded.

It could also simply be primer.

Damn those trains are sexy, the restraints are cool too, they look very open.
