Posted at 10:51 AM EST (1551 GMT) Feb. 18th, 2004 -- New BORG Assimilator construction photos. Construction continues to progress and steel erection is coming close to completion. These photos show the completed vertical loop as well as the location of the Borg Sphere.  First Look at BORG Sphere: The steel framework is in place for the BORG sphere. Although it's hard to tell from the photo, the track of BORG Assimilator surrounds the sphere so riders will almost fully encircle it.
 Vortex and Swoop over water: This photo show just how close riders will come to the water (the lagoon will be filled) on BORG Assimilator - all while staring face-down! You also may notice how bright Vortex looks in this photo. Like Drop Zone Stunt Tower and many other rides and areas of the park, it is being repainted.
 Queue Line: The concrete pathway you see in this photo is the walkway leading to the station. Riders have the unique opportunity on BORG Assimilator of walking through the coaster to reach the loading platform. In this photo, you'll notice that you pass directly between the ride's vertical loop (left) and horseshoe turn (right).
