It did run today as I got a ride in. It must not have been open for long though. They are now saying it is closed for the rest of the day.

Having spent as long as I did in line, they were not asking if it was okay for people to join. Having visited the park several times, this was the first time having an issue with the single rider line. It appeared to be specific to the employee versus the process. In terms of the flywheel, I could see the Cummins trucks hooked up in what looked like a temporary way. I could also hear them making noise versus the building. The exhaust on the truck was open and going.

I was at Holiday World yesterday, overall a pretty good day! Voyage was running well. My first ride stopped in the block brake as expected, my second one ran right through (unexpectedly) and resulted in an even better ride! Thunderbird is excellent(which I didn't think winged riders could be)! The area reminded me a lot of Dollywood (impressive) and the ride was forceful but smooth. The ops team was spot on with dispatches hitting the cycle time almost everytime! I was surprised to see that thunderbird was running off the Cummins diesel generators all day. I guess having a plan B worked in their favor! I struggled to see the "thanksgiving" theme in the new area, seemed to be a bit of southern / western, but not a holiday. I wonder if this is a direction the park may take in the future? Unfortunately: Voyage opened almost an hour late Mammoth opened almost 4 hours late and broke down causing an evac and an extra 20-30min wait. The boat grouper on mammoth apparently did not seem to understand the concept of a single rider line. Time and time again, boats were dispatched with empty seats and obviously below the weight limit. The single rider line was not close to full and took 20 min more than the normal line (which was an hour 15 min wait). When they rotated though to the next employee, the line moved very quickly.

15 minute wait on Banshee at 3:30 on a Saturday 9/27. Weird.

When did they remove the last car on the voyage trains? I imagine it was due to the car being a rough ride?

I rode Boulder Dash last night for the first time in over 2.5 years and had some of the best rides I can remember. Really hauled through the woods!

Do you have to eat anything this year in trapped? I am going to Knotts haunt for the first time this year and that's a deal breaker!

Nice to see Boulder Dash holding strong!

Damn you. Now I have to go listen to the Euro Mir soundtrack!

I think La Ronde may be trying to beat out Fuji-Q for worst operations

I went on Saturday as well. It has a ways to go to be comparable to Smokey Mountain Christmas at Dollywood but it was fun! I was a bit let down by the shows but Miracles in Italy had the best vocal performance by far.

Hmmmm, I wonder..... They can talk to Vekoma for ideas.

Sit in the front or back of any car (except the front seat). If your feeling lucky...sit in the back row.

I find it interesting that people are so optimistic about Palace. It makes sense though, I was the same way back when they bought Kennywood entertainment. I guess I am jaded by their actions at Lake Compounce.

The large tube is the Mega Tube. I believe the "flume in flume" is different than the mega tube (though possibly related).
