Yeah I went the day before and noticed they retracked the helix. Last year they did the far end turn around. The ride is way smoother than it has been in a long time. Still one of my all time favorites.
And please post that article if you find it Lareson. Thanks for sharing the expansion one. I had no idea there were such bold plans for the early 2000s, I was only a kid. I hope CF is just waiting for the right time and not just putting it off because of business reasons pertaining to the surrounding parks.
