Nothing we don't know but this is from a local news station here in Dallas.
Double post, ooh naughty 
I went to SFOT today and got some pictures (and there will be a construction update video thingy coming out on the CF YouTube page sometime later today or tomorrow). Well here they are:
From the parking lot
Through the trees
From the top of the Oil Derrick (tower)
You know, as I'm walking through the park, I look at TG and forget it's a woodie, and keep thinking it's merely a over supported steel coaster.

A couple of days old but I promise within this week I will have new photos up!
The ride from the Oil Derrick
First part of the double up
Updated diagram
At the bottom you can see some new ledgers beneath the double up. Possibly the ledgers for the finale of the ride?
Like I said, I will have more pictures coming up as soon as I possibly can.

Well right now I feel like an idiot for forgetting my phone in the car (which means no pictures), so I will being pictures back on my next visit (Friday) but all I can say is "WOW!!!!".
I mean, the drop looks absolutely incredible. The drop looks so sexy, and you can tell they're about to start working on the second half of the double up. This thing is really looking great, and if you've got the drop already looking that great and an awesome airtime opportunity, then I'm really looking forward to see the rest of the ride.

I was able to go to Six Flags today, and although I got no pictures (bitchy sister meant no phone cuz "I don't need one, who am I gonna talk to" stupid ****), but I can tell you this.
There is track completed right next to the double up after the first drop, which I'm guessing is the turnaround going into what used to be the brake run, and also some track that I think is under the double up itself. Now here's something interesting. There are new signs all around the station and construction site. On the station is a sign reading,
"'Giant' Construction
Texas Giant 2011
#1 Wooden (the word wooden is striked out) Coaster
Super Hybrid Coaster (which replaces wooden)"
Below that on the same sign it says, "Steepest drop on a wooden coaster at 79 degrees" and something I didn't expect, "Steepest bank on a wooden roller coaster in the world at 112 degrees". This is certainly something not heard before and if it is indeed 112 degrees, then holy **** that will super insane. I will try and get pictures ASAP which may be sometime this weekend, if not, I will most definitely post pictures posted from my bud on TPR (but I'd much rather prefer getting them for myself :wink.

.Well I knew if I just edited the post it wouldn't have really been viewed but thanks to my buddy Zingoman from TPR, we have pictures of the signs!!
I'm guessing this is the new logo Supposedly it's the original logo used back in 89 and 90 (without the "New" part of course)
Sign on the station
One of several on the fence leading to Titan
Another on the way to Titan
The signs location in relation to the Giant
This is a banner on the other side of the park towards the Looney Tunes section
A low bunny hop right next to the double up, and this is right after another big drop which means more airtime again
The view from the pullout of the drop
And to end it, a new graphic
