Magnum and Gemini Closed?

Yes

Magnum was running fine but I bet i saw it stopped 3 times on the lift hill while ride hosts had to go up and grab some kids cell phone who was trying to take a selfie.

Magnum was running trimless tonight and it was amazing.

It was good to ride Magnum this past Saturday but they really need to do something about crowd control on the platform. The lines for the front few seat are blurred because of the shape of the platform, so you either wait unnecessarily to move further because you think everyone is in line for that area, or you push forward and someone thinks you are cutting the line. I chuckle because more often than not I hear someone complaining how the bars hurt their thighs going over the hills. I found years ago the secret is to pull the seat belt as tight as possible, then you come out of your seat less and do not end up with bruised legs. I didn't realize they rebuilt the exit line and photo booth. And having been able to get a surprise ride on Dragster very early Saturday (before everything got very busy), I've now ridden all the coasters this year. Still disappointed various new food options for plan holders are still not open yet. Hopefully soon. I think I'll take this coming weekend off. My old bones need a break this early in the season.

If they hadn't rebuilt the exit, you would need a hand stamp to ride Magnum, as its exit would dump you outside the park. Also the security checkpoint would make rerides a real pain in the neck.

Magnum's station made more sense before the gates were installed. The queue for row 3 was angled uptrack so that the row entrances for 3 and 4 were side by side. Row 2 was parallel to 3, and the rails for row 1 were extended along the midway side of the platform to a point roughly even with rows 3 and 4.

If they put it back that way, the platform attendant at Load 2 would not be able to stand behind the post. Hey, wait a minute! That sounds like a great idea!
