Those lucky bastards. I can't wait for this ride to open!

Also with RMT, what's the deal witht eh lapbars. Getting remodifying them so soon? I know they were very tight but still much better!

I've said since RMT reopened that they LapBars seemed to ride a little "High" on the lap...more like the belly. Maybe they needed to make modifications...

A bunch of wiseguy teenagers asked him to balance one of the nearby prop steamer trunks. He responded that he wasn't ready for those yet, but said to come back again, promising that he'd be up to balancing a car by FrightFest... :P

With the trains on the tracks AND with real people in them, you can really see the effects of the stadium seating. Looks better and better each day.

This is just proof that Toro will be ready to go very soon. Seeing riders on it is definitely a huge plus, and by this sighting, it is only a matter of time before the ride is finally ready to open. Those people indeed are very lucky! Now that we're at the end, I want to get on this ride more than ever...

That's interesting about RMT. Hopefully it will be ready to go soon. I also wonder why they would do this since the restraints are brand new. A state regulation perhaps? I don't know, but they must be fixing them for a good reason.
