It is in Amusement Today. Sorry, I should have stated that originally. Article

Want a picture with Mickey?? Not so fast......you'll need a Fastpass for that.

That's awesome! It's great that the parks do this for their animals.

I know you didn't ask but I'm going to answer anyways . That green piece of nylon that's curved on top is used to toggle the train's anti-rollbacks up and down as the train passes. The proximity switch you see directly after that counts the anti-rollbacks to make sure they're all accounted for. All B&Ms have this. Fantastic trip report. Thank you for Posting.

2012 will be a great year for So Cal parks. Cars Land @ DLR, Transformers @ USH, and Manta @ SWSD. Your pennies would be spent wisely. Transformers is at the top of my list. I'm still wondering if it will be a "Pandora's Box" design from Vekoma.....

Good amount of progress on CH! Thank you for the inside look.

From their Facebook:

^Probably. Silver Bullet has had 1 train every Spring Break since it opened.

Why has Tango been closed so long?

Being open for 2 hours is better than not being open at all

Wow that's awesome! Love the way the themeing interacts with the track.

Park is aiming for a Memorial Day weekend opening but most likely will be within 1st couple weeks of June.

^RIP Leslie

Here it is shown in Robb's photo

^Said bleach stain is still there Anyone know if foundation pouring has begun for GL's plot of land?

To be fair, she didn't have to pay for premium parking.

I didn't know that the rides operate 24/7. In all seriousness, I love videos like this that educate the GP on what goes on during the off-season.

Um.......yea

^^^Nothing they can install would beat Steel Eel. Can't wait to ride that again this summer. A lot of airtime was had on that ride. Not to mention the trench will give a heightened sense of speed.

^Did the park feel "unfinished?"

^^What he said. Although I am excited to "get the credit."

A 300ft Intamin Gyro drop would be a nice fit up there as well..... Elissa is right, MM has plenty of space. If Knott's can still wedge attractions in all over the park then you can bet your a$$ MM will continue to find room. Robb, does Newhall Land still own all the land surrounding the park?

Any rides corporate puts into SWSD are good rides. Yea it's not exactly going to be the most thrilling ride but families will enjoy it which is the important thing. I'm all for it. Whenever I visit SWSD I never find myself being bored. Not to mention this ride will keep the park's cranky neighbors happy as their skyline will not be affected. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of b*thcing going on in this thread.

It's a great ride however it can become a nightmare very quickly if the seat belt starts digging into your hip. Not really a fan of Grinder Gearworks however it's important for a park to have a nice balance of Non-Coaster rides being that they're already scarce at MM I'd hate to see it go. Not to mention little kids 42"-48" absolutely love rides that spin!
