Well when I went last year, I just waited in the line until the ride op found a partner for me, or just ended up putting me with 2 small kids in the seat.
I wonder why they faced the ride toward the road instead of the other direction facing the park and the entrance there. Anyone know why? Seems like the noise it would make for the guests staying across the street would be a little loud for them.
Yes that is what I heard too. The Schwarzkopf looper had to have the loops moved, (the base) supports a bit. Hence why they took down that one vertical loop.
