Employees on the ride about an hour ago. Baby, I’m ready to go.
Seems like everything has been given the green light, fingers crossed she holds for the season
^..the wall on front of the car? Maybe I'm not seeing it, but it looks the same.
The only difference I see as of now is that this part got beefier, I assume it's the same on the underside of the guide wheels. Will be interesting to see what else changed.

Looks pretty miserable out there today with the rain and wind. Same site says Gatekeeper, MF, Rougarou and Valravn are closed too.
They've also installed a tuned mass damper onto a pair of columns on the entry/exit the tophat:

Pretty crazy stuff. I suppose they needed to allow the track to flex a little bit, rather than add a lateral support to prevent any swaying.

Quick question about the loose article policy. I know that loose articles aren’t allowed past the entrance, but would it be possible for someone in your party to hold all the loose articles in the queue (with no intention of riding) and then chicken out at the exit, bringing the loose articles through with them?
Why would you do this? If I were a park I wouldn’t let that slide, no way of knowing whether you’re telling the truth or not
I really just wish they’d have lockers before the station like Twisted and Vengeance instead of banning ALL loose articles from the queue
After the initial shock of opening, how popular do you guys think TT2 will be during the summer especially with Siren's Curse opening?
It will remain wildly popular. Dragster always was.
Rumor been going around that they’re having issues with the LSMs and Brake Fins overheating now

It should be noted that TT2 should still be treated as it's in its first year of operations. The manufacturer is still most likely going to need to make tweaks here and there now that the ride is consistently cycling with guests. Also they will be learning how the ride operates in the different environments (heat, cold, rain, wind, etc.). Once they learn more, they can go back and begin updating the smaller operational functions of the ride. Downtimes will still be higher this first year, but the hope is the park and manufacturer can make adjustments. This is very normal for new coasters and even flat rides.
Don't let this be confused with what happened with the trains. Clearly Zamperla ran incorrect calculations/ bad simulations when designing the trains. This was a major oversight that delayed the opening an entire year.

Direct Link to Embedded Media Source uh oh we got a Frankentrains
