MS derailed?

That is always the train that half the time when I ride in that train, they have to unlock my restraint manually. Seems like that train is a bit of a rebel.

Most likely if it was derailed there was something wrong with the tracks.;)

There was NO derail. I was there yesterday and it was running just fine.

Didn't ride it, though. I let Jen and her friend ride, so I could go capture some construction pictures while they were waiting :).

Ha that the best thing to do exit, let the friends ride while we take pictures. I do it every time because they don't see the use in it.

I was there on the 22nd and I can see why someone thought that it was derailed. I too thought it was as we drove into the Soak city lot to park but upon further inspection lasterin the evening it was just the way the train was sitting in the bend that made it look as if it were derailed. If I'm not mistaken they had it back up and running by about 9ish that night.

I kind of wish I would have taken a ride on it yesterday, though. I really like Mean Streak a lot.

However, the pictures were worth it, too.

I rode Mean Streak Saturday the 22nd, early afternoon, and Sunday the 23rd, in the evening. I didn't notice anything unusual about the ride itself. I didn't even notice the ride broken down Saturday, but the park was very crowded and we didn't make as many laps around the joint as we usually do.

"Very crowded" is quite the understatement. :)

Yeah, I felt like a damn sardine. It was pretty packed.

I was there on the 11th and 18th and noticed the 'skips' as well. I also noticed the lack of screeching around the turns. A friend was with me on the 18th who had never been to CP and he felt that MS was a great ride. He is NOT an enthusiast, but someone who likes wooden coasters.

Ready for this???? He felt that Magnum was a rougher ride and that MS was more enjoyable. In case you are wondering, we rode in the back of both trains.

Go figure....

P.S. I agree with your friend.
