My day started off with sitting on West Coast Racers for about an hour. Not a bad way to start the day. It was pretty chilly!! 
Picture
They've added a LOT more themeing since the previews. The garage looks like, well, a garage now!!

After sitting on the ride I decided to get off and get some sunrise footage of the ride, because let's be honest, sunrise coaster rides are awesome and all too rare.

Including a time-lapse of the area and coaster.

Some really cool details, even on the turnstile.

They've done a really great job with the rest of The Underground. The store wasn't open for us today, we'll do a walk-through next time we're at the park.
