The handouts to the media gave a list of all the park managers, and requested interviews be limited to just those individuals. After all, it is not fair to the ride operators or food workers to be put on the spot for an interview they were not prepared for. On another note, if you were hosting a marketing event, would you like an invited guest telling the media in attendace "the new ride is terrible, the older ride had a stronger launch." (For the record, I am not saying the ride is terrible, even though I like aggressive launches.)
A couple of technical design bits on the ride that only fellow needs will find interesting:
The station gates are able to be disabled individually. For example, if row eight was out of service on the blue train, or was loaded with a exit pass guest in the unload station, the gate will not open for that row. I am unaware of any other rides that have this feature.
Row five on the unload side has a difference in the restraint. The right bar has less of a bend in it, presumably to make it easier for a person with mobility issues to load (less ducking needed while loading). Since this bar is beside the riders arm, it is padded.
