In the years since its opening, several brake sections have been added, thus reducing wear and tear on the track, as well as some of the speed and excitement of the ride.
I believe the brakes have always been there as block brakes (running 5 trains=more blocks needed!), but when SFMM reduced the fleet of trains to 3...they were reprogrammed as trim brakes.

I got my inspiration from the best coaster video editor in the entire world. I win.

Now that I'm about halfway done with my video, I can safely say that I WILL win!

Congrats Soren...We'll definitely have to come visit you! Too bad I won't be able to legally drink with you at any lounges this time around...

I'm probably in the minority here, but I wasn't blown away by Cyclops. "The Drop" is freaking insane, and the other couple pops of air are nice...but it's too short for me to rank it in my top 10 for woodies.
Of course, riding Cyclops after riding Balder probably didn't help...since Balder provides "The Drop" like airtime on EVERY hill!

The idea of a traveling Screamin Swing is intriguing...

This is exactly why I'll never ride any rides atop the Stratosphere. Not because of their operations (which I was very impressed with!), but I'll just never be able to get over Interactive Rides overlooking small things like this.
Well, that and the fact its like 50 bajillion feet in the air and I hate heights. But that's besides the point. Stupid Interactive Rides.

The Flash Flood part of the tram tour will be bypassed for a rehab until next year...not that it's really an important attraction though.
Also, Fear Factor and Backdraft don't return until the 23rd of this month.

In other news, nobody cares because the SEC is horribly over rated.

Probably about 25 times over 2 visits.
Could have sat on it all day this summer since there was NO LINE! Actually, as I look back on it now I'm trying to figure out why I didn't sit on it all day!!!
Because the crew was taking 8-10 minutes between dispatches with one train!

^Awww 'adults under 4 feet tall'...
Joey, looks like you can now afford to go to CP!!!!
I hope you die of bird flu.

Are you being for reals??? :shock: Doesn't it get boring after awhile and expensive, or do they have season passes?
It actually makes me money. It rocks.

^I wouldn't exactly call Avalanche smooth, but it's not a destroy your body rough like Ghostrider either...
