Where are the trims? I've watched the videos and squinted at the photos for a few mins, all I can guess is that these are trims? (I've circled them brown, which is the same colour as poo. Trims are poo.)tomahawKSU said:

A lot of times, B&M will build the mounts for trims in the track, and install the actual trim during testing (or at a later date) if need be.
Example (on the entrance to the pretzel loop):
As for them being installed but not used, I suppose occasionally...typically B&M won't install them, however, unless they're sure they'll be used at least some of the time.
However, this is a prototype attraction as well - it could very well be they were installed "just in case" (isn't there a similar case on Air, with a trim that isn't used?).
Thanks, very helpful.

Theming kinda looks like...
But, what the hell is with the weird train designs on the promo?
Just occured to me that maybe the theme is that it's a weird monster-dinosaur that's the product of experimentation? Or something?
But what's up with the weird viral video thing with the balloon in the arctic... Maybe it was found there.

If I remember rightly from the virals that were released when construction started, then that's pretty much it. I remember there being a video of someone "discovering" a gigantic egg in the middle of the construction site, and loads of stuff about how there had been strange (radioactive? can't remember, but something like that) readings in the area. Also, towards the end of last season, they had people in biohazard suits outside the construction site "testing" people for levels of radiation (or whatever the **** it was).Joey said:
Not seen the recent ones yet. Will have to though.
Edit: Just read through the last few pages of this topic, and realise how much of what I wrote is complete tosh. Sorry.
Oh, and, Jordan, is that really your sister? If so, what did that picture start life as?

Yeah, she's got a portfolio and stuff and was called in for this photo shoot, which turned out to be for this.
At first all she knew was that is was for a new ride in a theme park in Italy, then all this stuff about Raptor came out and I figured it would be for this =]
And Joey, that's exactly what I thought.
When the project was announced yonks ago, it was reported that the it would have a splash element "where water may touch the guests".
Do you reckon that's still true or has the splash element been replaced with a waterfall as part of the theme?

^Can you highlight that? I can't seem to see what you're talking about.
The object that Ian circled is indeed the trims, I remember there being some discussion about it earlier on in the construction. Can't be arsed to go through the 30+ pages to find the picture though!
