Here is a pic of train in the break run.

Random Out-of-town-guest-planning-a-visit: "Who the Heck is that Guy?" LOL! I though someone photoshoped this. I didn't realize that they actually added this to the home page!

You’re looking at it wrong. This is another attraction that will have people in it’s queue that are not standing in the queue for your ride. That sounds good to me! Welcome back SB!

That is a cool idea. I realize the cams are mounted wrong for this, but how about one pointing at the parking lot to see how full it is before coming. HA! I think different web cam views are a great idea, one of the parking lot would be great. Be kinda nice to see how busy it is before you get there. I wonder if that would work in their favor? How many days would it be slow and people say lets go and bring in business?

If I was KI, I would not want the world watching the very first run of the coaster in case there were issues. They don’t want people getting scared that it is not safe to ride. I bet once they have a few days of testing and fill everything is OK, they will pan the cams back over for us.

This is true, two good points here. Hadn't thought about the sidding at the bottom.

Oh man, I liked the lighter color. I was hoping they were going to leave it how it was and apply a sealant. The darker color may look better once done and I might change my mind?

Yes, excellent work. I hope once the ride is tested they get a few free hours of ridding for their efforts.

Couldn't agree more. It would reaaaallly suck if they tested right now. I would hope that they would not test when they probably can't even see the top of the lift.

Don't apologize I will make my fair share of blunders as well!

I am guessing you meant Fog? It is foggy in Indy right now so I am guessing that is the issue there as well.

oh yeah i heard that too!! *gasp* The funny part is the people who are making these claims in the queue are so serious and would bet money on it.

I am on probably about 2 - 3 hours a day. During the day I have a computer that I bring up the DB webcam. Then when I have a few minutes I will also open KIC to see if there is anything I missed from the night before. Then if there is time I get on in the evening as well. You can say it, I am an addict of KIC and KI. I really enjoy the knowledge and conversations.

I can just imagine hearing this RUMOR the first day in the queue. "Did you hear a test dummy fell out of train during testing due to a restraint problem."

Yeah, that is what is was when I was small and rode it, and that is what it will always be called in my heart.

October is my favorite time to visit the park. You can't beat riding The Beast in the woods with the changing color of the leaves. I am guessing ridding DB is going to be just as fun this October!

I agree. On a personal note I measured my son the other day, and he will fit on FOC this year. Can't wait to ride it with him. Sorry for DP, but whats FOC? Fairly Odd Coaster or some still call it Beastie.

I was looking at where the trains will stop when coming back to the station. (I am sure there is an official name for this?) The first would be in the station obviously, but then do you think the other two stops will be by train storage, or would the second stop be right behind the station like Vortex?

Well, consider that since the workers have been working there they have not had a issue with a train going past them. I am guessing some are listing to MP3 players and may not hear a train coming either. Just my thoughts on the fence?

The suspense is mounding up more each day!

I think they just got all the protective film off of it today. It has been in the station since the end of last week. Edit: or was in on Monday?

For those that were on the tour, it seems to me the queue area is not very big? Is that slab bigger than it looks in the webcam?

I don't think so. Looks like this is right before the tunnel to me?
