The entrance to the ride marks the start of the line, as you pass under a massive TERMIANTOR sign:
Then you go right into the heart of the ride:
Some switchbacks:
A little theming along the way:
Then you come to a large building with closed doors:
It turns out to be pre-show 1. They only let a certain number of people go through at one time. Once inside, multiple TV screens describe the basic situation and story for the ride. Then a "security guard" escorts you through the rest of the line. You go through a really long tunnel, and then come into another room. More TV screens tell you more about the story of the ride. Also, some Terminator torsos hanging from the ceiling kinda move around:
After that, you climb some stairs, and come into the station area. The station fly-thru is really neat:
The trains:
Some more pics I took:
The ride is insane. Once you get to the top of the lift, you come around in a nice turn. Then you suddenly fly down a steep drop. It banks hard at the bottom, and the next 5-ft tall hill gives loads of airtime. Next comes the overbank, and as you pull out, a small bump gives some more sweet airtime. There's another floater bank, and then you go into a long tunnel through the lift and drop supports. Then you come flying out, over yet another floater bank, and rise up into the station fly-thru. Then you dive back down again, through another tunnel to the left, up a strangely-banked turning hill, and through a few more turns around the queue into the brake run. One of my top 3 at SFMM.
That's all for Terminator...
