It looked like a maintenance cart with mechanic was on top of one of the vehicles which was at ground level, and the two rows on either side of that one were maybe 20 ft. off the ground and tied to said vehicle. Not sure whether or not it opened Saturday- but that didn't look like typical end of day stuff. It was right at 11 when we left Raging Bull, so I imagine it must have went down before close.


That is normal. The maintenance cart goes on one car each night for cable inspection. They use the cars on either side to help guide it into place.

As for today, Giant Drop went down around 12:00 for wind.

Makes sense, although I'm kind of surprised that I haven't seen this before. Apart from the occasional lap on Batman or Iron Wolf, Raging Bull is how I usually conclude a day at the park. IIRC, Giant Drop is typically abandoned with no mechanics or ride-ops in sight by the time I'm making my way through Raging Bull's exit path.
