I went to Preview night and most of the lines were pretty empty. Top Gun was just a walk on. Even the front row. :o . I rode the flyers and got the hang of snapping. And I also saw Jonathan, Coasterbruh, and JamminJ there. It was pretty nice to see them snap those things.

Saturday I went to the flyers for most iof the day and hung out with Jonathan, JamminJ, AMarrtan777, Coasterdave, and lots of other members. We had a good time after we forgot the "We did it" song on the newly themed train. I just had fun hanging out with them and hope to do it again.

Sunday was a pretty intresting day. I went to the Borg and then went to drop zone, I then did four times of riding and then one of the ride ops said the record was 63 times and I went for it. I rode that thing 75 times. :D . And I'm not lieing to this. I then went to thunderroad and found that the first part of the track was PAINTED, whitch I thought is a good thing. I then I hung out with some people I meet. Later on I went to the flyers and met COASTERMOM2 herself. See was really sweet and really thought when I saw her she was from this board.

To sum it up I had a great time and enjoyed meeting at least 15 people from this board I never met before. :D

I think yellow and white. It was just the turn around to the lift hill.

Yep, I am hoping they will repaint the whole ride.

It hasnt been painted its just they retracked the lift hill or at least the steps so thats all thats different on the ride.

^I thought that was pretty odd.. It makes sense though as the lift is is by FAR the roughest part of the ride.. ;)

Oh yeah thanks for that last ride on Saturday.. I was on the final train that evening. I really love it when ops go out of their way to do something nice for the guests, even if it is something little like one ride after park closing.

I think someone said that the far end was painted a different color like they are working on repainting it.

Maybe I misunderstood. I know they started retracking it, but I seem to remember them saying it was repainted down at the turnaround.

No, the turnaround hasn't been repainted. Just the brake run to the bottom of the lift was repainted Opening Day.
