Lateral Movement?

Is it me or does it seems that the trains are moving more laterllaly than the two previous years? Someone mentioned that they haven't replaced the springs in the guide wheel assemblies yet. Last time I rode I noticed it a bit in the transitions.

Yes, no question about it, but it seems to vary by car and train. My first ride this year I had shifting all over the place, but other rides were not nearly as noticeable.

Is it shifty like when you are rounding the corners on Mean Streak or just something you'de notice after rideing her many, many times and can notice the difference by experience?

Seeing as how there aren't a lot of straight lines, the shifting happens through much of the ride. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the springs are replaced by next year.
