TheBEASTunchained Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 ^ Agreed! It feels as though it has been an eternity since we've been able to see that much progress at once! It also looks as if most of the general structural work, aside from the station and shed area, has been completed from what I can tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yup looks like a lot of it is done, this looks great! Does that look like an arch right pass the truck and entrance? That would be nice too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Is it weird that I'm oddly excited for the trick track just before the turn into the shed? It's a little quirk that makes Mystic Timbers unique, even among GCI's rides. You don't see trick track on a lot of coasters these days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Those last few bunny hops skimming across the lake should be a good moment in the ride to finish things off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txdrummer Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I maybe wrong but is that the reservoir? If so that view will be even better with the water filled in. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I get more excited the more pics I see. Thanks Don for posting more. One thing I do think from the diagrams from earlier showing the entrance/exit is if the "speckled" area after the station is in back a handicapped ramp to and from the train station platform. The small square at the train station must where the photo pickup is. I am surprised that they are not having a Mystic Timbers store. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 If the photo booth is at the station then what is the diversion off the wavy entrance queue? I assumed that was it. I'm not so sure that the exit is into the station or if that is only the handicapped access to the ride. I think it is possible that the regular exit is back down the stairs on the same side of the station as the entrance. I guess we'll know soon enough tho! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txdrummer Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I know there are mixed feelings about Fast Lane but I believe there is an entrance just for Fast Lane based on my quick glance at the print posted from Twitter earlier in the thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 ^ I agree it looks like the entrance closest to the train station is the Fast Lane line and the other closest to the log flume would be for regular guests. It looks like a pretty long queue but you can see plenty of ways for them to shorten the line if need be. I zoomed in on the station area and you can where the rows line up so I think that you are exiting down the steps by the handicap ramp. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 That's my thought too but it seems to me the teaser video stopped outside the first building and asked #whatsintheshed. Which is not to say that wasn't just done for visual effect and/or that the shed could be after the building the video stopped at. I've been wondering about which one was "the shed" ever since they released the layout drawings that showed two buildings before the station. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new account Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 My guess for the shed , (the part where the actual curve is) is no different having seen this architectural plan than it was prior. There is room to setup a bit of a vignette that will most likely include digital screens on two of the walls. Since the curve is more than 90 the exit will barely be visible as you enter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm just going to wait and see. Already took off work the 15th to wait in the long line. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new account Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I think this will be a fun element. I really miss both Earthquake and the Pirate ride at CP , despite them both being kinda cheesey, and I think this will have a little bit of that old time classic dark feel to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not sure from that up to the station. I am starting to wonder if the shed will be some type of immersive tunnel. http://www.simworx.co.uk/immersive-tunnel/ This is the most logical idea I've heard so far! Great find! I imagine with two train operation (I assume) the train could be in the shed for a little while. And virtually racing through the underbrush of an impending attack from the foliage. It could be a random video on each ride. I'm jumping right into "team immersive tunnel". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I had been saying something like the Immersive Tunnel since the ride was announced. Construction looks to be going well, don't see any reason why this shouldn't be open on opening day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
