Opening Day complaints...

They probably had to a MAJOR overhaul with the trains, especially the body's. Those trains were very cracked and beat up by the end of last year I wouldn't be surprised if some of the body metal is new. Still a good question, I mean they had all 3 on OD last year.

As for the car front that reminds me of my Millennium Force car texture I made a while ago for No limits. Although it's simple I think its the general idea everyone wants. (Disclaimer, the logo is just a generic script "M" that i made myself :))

I noticed the little "Intamin Giga Roller Coaster" plaques are starting to fade. I think they should replace them and give me one of the old ones. ;)

It's pretty common knowledge that all coaster trains at CP go through the standard winter maintence program of being rebuilt from the ground up. With the season running longer in 2001 and starting a week earlier in 2002 and all the MF trains receiving a new paint job, it really shouldn't be a shock that they're missing a train for one day.

I was with Rideman when he talked to Somone Who Ought To Know. The yellow train just took a bit longer to reassemble than expected.

At the turn of the Millenium......there were signs...

Indeed....Give them a little bit and things will start clicking nicely.

If they've done away with the station music, that is some serious PUS!

I was super before Superstew was cool!

Missy, The guy in the front looks like Dick Kinzel, holding on too.

I shed some tears. They took away the music? This is so disgraceful. I'm going to bed.

The lack of music and the voice doesn't seem right. Just watching the promotional video with the music and voice builds up anticipation. Hearing it in the station builds up the anticipation that you had from the promotional video. The voice and music should be brought back to make this connection. I'm sad :(

Also at least when I rode, some of the lights in the station were not on either. The toaster lights were on as well as the wall lights, but the Millennium Force logo that kind of dances around on the floor was not there. :( The unit was there, just nothing coming out. If there not going to use it let me take it home, fix it and I'll put it up in the entrance to my house.

I'm sure they will have the problems fixed this weekend. As for the music, I hope they bring it back, but I'm not getting my hopes up. :(

Joe I also noticed the absence of the "dancing lights" on Sunday. I would have said something but I saw the device was still there and I figured that it was just off for a little bit.
