I am surprised that isn't every cycle with those darn seatbelts.

those seatbelts do have a lot of problems, but they will wait a little bit before sending one or the other train alone.

Well, Friday was my first time ever riding it, so I couldn't tell you about any differences since the rehab. However, the ride was great! Definitely has that old-wooden coaster feel to it, without being ridiculously rough or anything. It did seem smooth on the new parts, specifically the first half of the ride. I only rode the silver (right) side, so I'm not sure how the blue side is, other than the fact it broke down for a bit that day.

On Friday, both sides had 2 trains running. It's just that most of the time they weren't racing.
