I was wondering about that weird suspended coaster thing!

Also same.

Same.

Has Lightning Rod been operating better since dying on opening day?

Fun fact! This was the boomerang that did not 'brake' like other boomerangs! Check out our video of it:

^It's a hard call right now. The hours are shorter and there is much less entertainment, but if you're going for rides and can go mid-week when it's not busy it will be great for rides.

I look forward to watching this from far away! I wish the park and all the guests the best of luck though, I really hope it goes well!

I've been on Taron several times and never found it aggressive or fast. I always found it to be more like a sailing ship bobbing one way then the other way!

Wow. Thanks for sharing! I really didn't realize how much this is going to be 'US Taron'! The rock work and everything, super interesting.

As predicted by many of us on this site who know about how parks run, it was announced today that Disneyland will NOT open April 1, but hopes to open in some capacity by late April! Woo!

I still maintain that it was SFMM that ruined the ride and it could run great in another park. Granted, La Ronde is probably not the park to do it right but there's always a chance!!!

I guess I just never expected this to be some balls to the wall Maverick type Intamin. I assumed it would be more like Taron at Phantasialand. I'm sure it will be great, but I don't think it's going to be crazy intense or anything. It's Universal and they want a lot of people to ride it.

I don't think anyone will ever tell you that going to CP or KI is a waste of time/money. The only issue I see for you is that if you haven't been to parks lately this may not be the time to come back. With all of the Covid precautions/restrictions it's not a normal experience at all and you could end up frustrated. Maybe wait and see how the parks are operating this season first?

Bummer about the sky ride, worse about the poor operations. Hopefully they get in a groove quickly and improve.

I think it's important to note a few things in the 'reopening' news... - Parks CAN reopen April 1st if they're in the correct tier. This could change. And Orange County and LA county are sometimes not the same tier. - California residents only. - Just because they CAN open doesn't mean they will, I could see them waiting a few weeks to make sure they are ready and numbers are still trending in the right direction.

Yay!! Universal is at least kind of reopening! Very similar event to the DCA event. Starts next Friday and runs Fridays - Sundays through early April for now but may be extended.

The park just has such a weird early 80's vibe to it still.

Let us know how it is please!

^Whoa whoa whoa..Stop...are you saying there were SHARKS...WITH LASER BEAMS!!!!!???

Is there an official release somewhere about it opening with the park? I just checked the website and didn't see anything.

I’m shocked that they’re restarting so soon with so much still unknown about the global recovery but I’ll take any good news at this point so yay!!!!

Remind me not to plan a trip to a park with you guys! LOL! Seriously though, I hope the universe is done crapping on your plans and these work out!

I will never understand the Fury love. I've been on it plenty, in heat, in cool weather, in daytime and nighttime, I just don't get it!!! I mean, it's a fun smooth fast ride, but compared to all the other B&M's out there I just, well, don't get it!

Great report. I too am pretty impressed that they were able to break the train!

Looking forward to you and Bill's full report!
