It has 2 trains, and both were running Saturday.

From the "know-it-all" who happens to run the ride: Nighthawk will run with two trains for the rest of the season (barring any maintenance issues or rain). Even though it was more efficient to run with one train, the decision was made to run two trains as much as possible.

^ Could you clarify HOW it's more efficent to run one?
Is it because your crew has just become more adapted to it?

Because load/unload time is actually faster since the system does not have to wait for two blocks to clear instead of one and there is less downtime. And as of late, we are working with a new crew so they would not be used to one train operation vs two train.

One train, maybe two. It depends on maintenance factors, as of Opening Day 2006 they only had one train running Opening Weekend. Wow, I bet that doesn't help none.
