X-Flight new for 2012
They removed the webcam off the X-Flight page and updated the text to include the season pass holder dates and the official opening date.

Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
^^ They have removed the applet from the X-Flight page. The webcam itself is still active. You can get still images from the link on the SFGAm World homepage or at http://166.241.21.24/sample/oneshot.html
You can get to the live feed at SFGAmZone or at http://www.sixflags.com/greatAmerica/Ri ... ebcam.html
I'm looking at the latest camera screenshot on my phone and it's hard to see since it's a small screen but are the train covers on now?

to me, it does look like the train covers are on!
^ Yes, it does seem like they have put on the covers. Since the webcam is kind of fuzzy, the red covers easily blend into the track.
I'm trying to figure out what are they going to do with the black frame on the station ......
^ If it's not for an X-Flight sign I will be surprised.
^I know they still have more work to do but so far that looks pretty cool!

wonder when they are going to start putting the covers on the trains. . also anyone know if this is still the first train they are testing or if it is the second one?
They are still only running Train #1. Train #1 has the fiberglass shells installed.
ok i thought it looked sorta like something was put on but I hope they post pics so we can see what they look like 
SF Great America Twitter said they will have new train pictures tomorrow.
just saw that
Everything is coming together nicely. I don't think that black frame on the station is for a sign though. Isn't that frame facing the wrong direction?
Candy: What you lookin' at?
Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama. Candy: Yeah, you see something you like? Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.
Why does the webcam disconnect after a few images?

^The black frame is facing the direction of the midway.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
I'm 99% sure it's a function implemented by the webcam software designer to conserve bandwidth. If everyone opened up the stream and just walked away from their computers, they'd be serving up a ridiculous amount of data. So they just cut you off and force you to refresh. And here is a shot of the train with the covers on 3PM April 19:  In addition, if you want quick access to the live feed without any extra frills, you can take this HTML:
paste it into a text file, and then open it up on your computer. Then bookmark the page. To admins: could you host the applet HTML on the SFGAmWorld webcam page, since right now it's only a single image?
You can see that the queue line will go through the control tower.
I wonder if they will have the inside of the tower completely open so the cars sail right over the pathway inside the control tower or if there will be a small roof separating the two. The only problem is people tossing things up so there will probably be some slate separating it.

I was just looking at the webcam and it looks like the queue would also be under the station !!!! Am i the only one who is seeing this ?

We knew the que was going through the control tower
I was saying that incase somebody didn't and that they are actually doing it and that you could see the queue line.
I added a link on the Web Cam page. Still Image Cam: http://sfgamworld.com/section.php?page=XFlightCam Live Feed Cam: http://sfgamworld.com/section.php?page=XFlightCamLive Go Bulls!
