Thanks for sharing your TR with us Erik! I took a trip to the Disney Parks and Universal last week and it was alot of fun! It was really uncrowded and it was good to be back.

The Dragons were running just fine yesterday aside from the scaffolding around the castle. We almost walked onto the front of Ice and the ride-ops were doing a great job dispatching the trains while the previous train was yet to enter the brake run.

I'll post pictures soon

Thanks for the update and pics. This is such a great time to go, with all the holiday decorations up and lack of crowds.

Woah Duff energy drink?

I seriously need to get back to Florida again to get my hands on some of that stuff. I've turned into a bit of a Simpsons collector over the last year, and the Kwik-e-Mart looks like a good place to pick up a few new additions to my collection.

Thanks for the update Erik.

Great Update Erik.
Hard to belive I was there just last week.

Erik after riding Iron Wolf you talk about a rattle on hulk? Did T2 knock something lose, I mild rattle in hulk is nothing compared to the head banging of T2. Florida people with all the b and m ar so spoiled, i guess i will have to go ride my nearest Arrow Corkscrew, and SLC. Oh wait I can't they are closed. I guess I will have to try my hand at a box coaster. My box coaster will have to run on snow.

Nice update though. Looks like at least one company in FL is up to some big changes. Looks like I need to book a flight to FL week after thanksgiving next year!

The rattle is not a really bad, it is just not a super common trait among B&M coasters. It does not cause head banging anguish like Iron Wolf or an SLC. It is just we had a really great ride on it when we all rode it back in October. I figure that they must have done some work on a specific train, rather than the whole fleet.

Great update!

I hope that The Simpsons ride will be good. Same with Harry Potter Land. The new towers on DD now look better than they did before.

:P

They have those dragster type rides here in Dallas at Malibu Speedway
but they are the old cars! Do you think they might be getting new cars also? That and they only go 70mph.

When did Ripsaw Falls get lapbars?

There were none this summer...
