They are probably going to start testing without the coverings over the middle of the trains.

I just watched them load the last two water dummies on the right side of the train. Does anyone know if the left side has been loaded yet? It's hard to see.

To me it seems that it always updates and loads a lot slower when something is happening than when nothing is going on! Probably because more are looking when there is action.

The past couple days it disconnects me after about 45 seconds on both Safari and Firefox on my Mac. I have the latest Java too. It gets annoying because I have to keep refreshing the page every minute.

Looks like it stopped, but they appear to have started up again. The train has left the view of the camera.


Edit: First run completed!

I hope they got a video of that! What if you were driving past the park, and from the highway you just see it testing. I think that's what tomorrow is going to consist of..

Either there is a glitch in their Twitter account or they deleted the post with the photo of XFlight in motion because it is now gone! Hopefully, a video will come soon!

The reason why they took it down before was because they forgot to stick their water mark on the photo. They just reposted it with the mark on now.

This helps conserve bandwidth, for people who might be tempted to leave it open 24/7 and use a ton of it up.
