Pure Disney magic. This is the stuff that makes a world wide brand of themeparks..........

I take that to be sarcastic seen as you don't seem to like TSPL, but if Disney left the park to stagnate and not build something like TSPL and not have any significant investment in the park since ToT started construction then Disney would not be a worldwide themepark brand. The reaction on most of the American forums is why can't they have a land like this in one of their parks so it can't be that hated.

Seems an odd decision to be building it up there rather than in the station. It really is looking good.
Thanks for the video David!

Mmm, the area doesn't look too big as what I first thought it would be like, but still, it's all coming together now.

Here Come The Belgians!

From that picture it looks like they could be doing a "pull-through". This is where they test that the track has been put together correctly and that there aren't any problems with the main structure.
They will only be using the basic chassis of the train, its pointless having all the theming attached (it would just get in the way)

The Space Mountain trains would have probably looked exactly the same at this point in the construction phase.

I love the shade of orange chosen.

Although they need to test everything again once all theming has been attached. The structure will be much and much heavier with everything on it. The coaster will react different to a complete and much heavier car then without the theming. Just as the technical failures. Tecnical failures will come and go when anything changes on the track. Even high wind speeds and rain can cause failures.

They shouldn't need to have another test like this once the theming is inplace, its purely to check the track has been put together properly and that the wheels are the correct distance apart etc.
Usually they also have a "reach envelope" attached, to check if any guests arms can reach something they shouldnt be able to.

You can see the rope pulling the car up.

In a few years they will have to do the same thing to WDS that they are doing now to DCA.  DCA was a big shame for Disney. Still that park had much more to offer than WDS ever had.
Toys will not do anything for WDS. It will make a few more persons go to the park. Disney knows how to make a dull ride look like the coolest thing ever. But in the long run these new rides are far from a new piretes, a new space mountain or even a new small world. It´s nothing more than a few swings with funny looking paint on them.
Disney is doing the best they can with the budget they have. What they should do is to look over at OLC in Japan. They know that spending alot of money in the right places will pay back bigtime. DisneySEA is a second gate park... still it beats all Disneylands and Universal studios in the world when it comes to that important thing in a themepark, the theme of the park.
If WDS is a good park. How comes it doesn´t make more people want to visit it. Disney has made some pretty strong tv and dvd ads for the place. If the toys is the thing this park needs WDS will have around 5 million visitors like HKDL and DCA. Let´s not forget that even 5 millions is low for a Disney park.
DLP is like a pair of perfect red lips and WDS is like herpes.

wow! ever more colourful metaphors. Although Herpes does grow on you, are you starting to like TSPL a bit more now?
