Multimedia: New BORG Assimilator Update

Posted at 10:50 AM EST (1550 GMT)

Feb. 25th, 2004 -- New BORG Assimilator construction photos. Construction continues to progress and steel erection is coming close to completion. These photos show the completed station, train and corkscrew.

The Train: Workers continue to install fencing around the ride's queue line as one of the coaster's trains sits waiting for it's first run, which occurred Thursday, Feb. 19 at 8:30 p.m.

The Station: This photo shows the view as you walk around the back of the coaster and into the loading station.

The Corkscrew: Winding through the trees and over the water, the coaster's final two inversions are two corkscrew turns, viewed here from beside the Wild Thornberrys' Outpost Canteen in Nickelodeon Central.
