The pics were taken in line when it happened. In the "phony" pics (as you put it), there are people in the train. Just in the right place at the right time.
Hehe, I took those two photos! I didn't expect for this to pop up again!
I had entered the Line for SoB from the Top Gun exit, right before the tunnel. I do it all the time, and so do alot of people to avaiod all the extra walking. I didn't know the ride was closed until i got to the empty station, and looked over and saw the rollback occuring. The ride crew was already gone, the station was deserted.
