I was at SFStL on July 11. Got to the park around 3pm and EK was my first ride, but I don't really recall the squealing then. Got in another ride a couple hours later. There was a rain shower a couple hours before closing. I went back for a final ride on EK before leaving for the night and had to wait for them to re-open the ride because some dillweed decided to jump the fence for a hat. Someone didn't hear about the SFOG incident the week before I guess. Anyhow, on my final ride, it was squealing pretty badly. A little rough on the ears, but it was worth it for one more ride on EK.
