Thanks for the pics GA. I never knew the water in HH was heated. I wonder if this is possibly a new feature, because last year when I went the water didn't seem to be heated...Anyway, I'm going Wednesday, so I guess I'll find out soon!

Also, does anyone know what's up with Tango? It seems to be closed in that picture, and it was closed when I was there last Thursday as well...

On a last note, that garden is very interesting... I wonder why they put it there...

Great update GAcoaster! Glad to see El Toro running both trains. :banana:

I haven't seen "Chippy's" over by SM open in a long time. Now everyone getting off SM can get some Fish and Chips... :drool:

I have always know about the area behind wok and roll when I go on Skull Mountain I see it. At night it is probably the most scariest part in the whole entire park.

No, Tango was closed yesterday, but I'm not sure if it's back up and running today.

That garden area used to be the queue for Skull Mountain (when it first opened). They stopped using it about a year after it opened, but it was a heavily themed queue at one point.

Never knew it was there! I have to go discover it now!

Also GA, did you see all those ribbons I was talking about on Chiller? Anything to report happening over by Chiller? At all?

Yep...it was hard to get a good shot of them. They are standard inspection ribbons used to mark the welds for the team to hit in rehab. There's one on RMT already too, right in front of the Fort, below the Skyride.

Great Update. Was Riverbank open when you were there? When I went on Friday, Riverbank was completely closed, something I have never seen before.

Also, was Ka running 3 or 2 trains? Because when I was there, the orange one was just sitting on the other side, collecting dust....

^^Yes, that was Skull Mountain's original queue that stood where Wok N Roll is now. It was very nicely done, well themed, but they don't need it since the current queue is never full.

I waited the whole entire queue back in 1996 when it first opened, plus it was over flowing!

Does anyone have pictures?

Oh ok. Any idea why there were A LOT of them? Especially on Robin's track? And why did they all pop up after this incident?

Also, wouldnt the trains running over them wear them off? Some were tied around the tubing track.
