Great to see riptide open. I like it much more than SMLF. I just wish runaway train would open! Any notes about B&R:TC?

Lol, I like the picture of RT getting its sensors put on. GaCoaster, you have been there so much recently and no Chiller updates? What has the status been while visiting?

Great pictures, by the way.

Yes! I can't wait for the two water rides to re-open again. They should be ready this weekend or next. I've had some good memories on MTWE, and it's great to see it testing, and most likely opening soon! Plus, it's great to have Riptide up as well, so now the water rides will be at full force. I can't wait to get a ride on MTWE, especially when it's hot out!

Oh, and it's great to see my favorite side of RT testing! It's been just too long since I've ridden a wooden coaster in general, and next week, I will hopefully get on a total of three! (Thunderhawk, Toro, RT). Thanks for the update, the park is should be in full swing by the end of the month!

^The water rides really should be open now. I mean, when I went to SFA in APRIL they had their MTWE open, and people were going on it. It was a particularly hot day, but still, ours should at least be open...

MTWE is the grossest ride in the park. I can't go on it cause I can't get myself to be covered with anything that came from that ride. :puke:

It might be; Thursday night (6/8) they were working on a sensor on the inner track, and we saw it testing. I'm hoping it opens soon -- I rode the outer loop the other week and it nearly rattled the teeth right outta my head! :wacko:

Out of curiosity, why were there no sensors on the insider RT track? I went on it last year(the inside track), so they must have had sensors. Do they take them off during the off-season, or are they just replacing them for this season since it will always be running full capacity(cause of PDC)??

He said they are working on a sensor. As in it was there and it could have been damaged probably.
