I'm going tomorrow.
Goliath, Demon, Viper and Eagle Red all have 2 trains. None of the B&Ms have their second train.

Bulls second train is on the storage track and looks close to be ready. Perhaps a chance it’s ready tomorrow. Batman’s second train is in still disabled in the storage track.

Also the Carousel is being painted so that is why that is closed. Towers windows that blew out from the wind have not been replaced yet.

Drop is ready but didn’t open today due to staffing. Operations were understandably on the slow side as there was lots of training going on.

Giant Drop was not open on Saturday, i'm hoping it is for you today
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back

They look fantastic. Seatbelts are a new lightweight plastic and are quite bulky. Guess this makes it easier for staff to see the actual buckle. New Lapbars are black instead of orange. Viper is still running better than ever with the exception of that one nasty pothole on the first drop.

Also, Siren's Curse is awesome and you should give it a try.

Yep. That pothole was bad.

Also the trains aren’t new. They are the same trains that just got refurbished by PTC. They look great though.
