Once out of the park we took a right turn and headed for The Boss...



...eventually ending up at Rookie Racer.



While the ride is up there was still a lot of ground work to get complete before being ready for the masses.



Our first stop was Rookie Racer's station.  When we were there the train was on site but the crew from Vekoma wasn't quite ready to get it on the track just yet.



Vekoma was getting pretty close to getting the train on track as this frame was on site to be used for the pull through test.  A pull through test is when the ride manufacturer pulls the train around the course making sure that everything is all lined up correctly.  This frame attaches to the train and simulates the maximum reach of a rider.  If the train with the clearance envelope attached to it makes it around a circuit without hitting anything it has passed the test.
