A few people have been walking around and under the transfer track, I wonder if they will bring the trains back out... I predict that something will happen pretty soon! :D :eh:

EDIT: I think that they will at least do a test before dark so everyone can see it.

I've had the suspicion that they wouldn't be sending any test trains until the workers working around the main gate area go home.

It's been hard to see for most of the day with drop of water on the camera lens obscuring that area, but there's a bunch of workers carrying some kind of panels down into the area under the bridge right now. They certainly won't be sending any trains through there with people working down there.

Maybe for filming? That would be a nice angle.

...and...it's gone again...moved to the between-camera spot at the bottom of the lift hill.

Now I'm definitely pretty sure it's for filming. There's also a new cherry picker next to the brake run and multiple golf carts have staked out spots along the route.

Something definitely going down.

I saw the golf cart, that usually means someone important.


I used a golf cart once. Does that mean I am important? :? :shifty:

I've done it several times at parks - and nearly tore one up at SFoG once "jumping" a curb, lol. Don't really consider myself important. :wink:

Hello all, It is my first time posting to this forum board before, but I've been lurking for quite some time on Fury's progress.

My question (probably a stupid one) - how long does it take to test the coaster. Seeing as it's supposed to open in 24 days we might be cutting it close. Does anyone now how many hours or days it takes to test before it can be certified by the state?
