Well i finally made it to the park yesterday and while i was there i noticed a few other changes. I decided to take a ride on scream weaver and they have added a little gate at the front of the car that you must unlock. I dont recall that being there last year.... I also found frenzoid. I dont know if anyone spotted it or not but its over behing cyclone i saw it while riding drop zone. Also hurlers 2nd train was missing?

All in all it was a good day at the park although they were understaffed so a lot of rides were closed like hurler....the line was open but no OPs were up there. I noticed that only one train was there the other train was NOT on the transfer track. Anyone know what may have happend to it?I was looking forward to riding hurler but it was closed so i rode drop zone cyclone was closed for a while but opened later on borg was crowded as usual unlike 2 weeks ago when there was no line.... wild thornberries river adventure finally opened after waiting for about 20 min and of course TR backwards was closed...to my knowledge they never open it on weekdays. :angry:

Thunder Road frontwards was running great and construction on the waterpark and the go karts continue. They have got some concrete down where they are building the go karts...is it confirmed that it is in fact go karts because it looks to be small to be a go kart track... :blink:

i didnt see the train anywhere it may have been at the bottom of the lift or something but when i was there (10am til 1:30) it was not. Another big change i forgot to mention is they are not doing the fingerprints anymore and if you have a season pass this year you must get your picture taken. I guess it doesnt matter when though :unsure:

yea thats what the girl at drop zone told me that since it was a school day they didnt have enough staff for hurler and TR backwards has always been closed on weekdays or everytime i go on a weekday it is. Oh well thats ok. See if carowinds would have hired me that woulda been one additional OP they had....i just never got that follow up phone call :(
