I rode the train this afternoon and the turntable for the rapids is still in pieces. Definitely not opening too soon. I did however spot one worker repairing something on the course so not a completely lost cause.

Also saw about 6 people working on the lift motor/gearbox for Goliath.

So likely an issue with the lift chain or motor?

Assuming so, It did open this afternoon though and stayed open the rest of the day!

Goliath opened at 11:25 AM on Memorial Day. I was 1st in line and waited for it to open. Not sure if it was related to the replaced Lift Hill motor or not.

I was so confused when I entered the park and wasn’t greeted with the same playlist of 5 to 10 year old pop hits. Very refreshing for a change!

Has anyone noticed anything different with the ride ops using IROC standards?

The ability to find an empty seat is still there. Outside of some slow ops I haven’t really noticed much difference.
