Rode a few times this weekend on Friday and Sunday. Only one side was running but I wasn't sure if that was because of the small lines, or something mechanical.

It would appear that they can only run one arm at this time. I could see them not opening the other arm and just waiting till the offseason to fix it.

Got to ride this for the first time yesterday evening and really enjoyed it. Wish it was a smidgen longer but otherwise a great flat and hope its fixable.

Does anyone think the ride cycle may have been shortened? I've gone on it twice now since the reopening and it feels shorter then it was in the past. It would make sense to shorten the cycle while the other arm is still broken to help cut down on the wait considering it is running at 50% capacity. Not sure if this is possible or not...

The ride cycle seems exactly the same to me. It was never a long ride, I think the air drive system has some limitations as to how long it can run.

My first ride of the year was a few Fridays ago, and it had a decent line. I felt like the ride cycle was one full swing shorter than last year. But then I rode it again on Saturday morning right at 10:00 with no wait, and it seemed like the ride cycle was back to its normal duration.

There's a good chance I was imagining things, but it seemed like those were two different ride cycle durations, based on the wait time for it.

I remember during SH's second season the ride time duration seemed longer than opening year. I swore that two more swings were added to the cycle if my memory is correct.

Looks like the little birdy will be back in action this season. I hope it's operating properly for the entire season.

Darn it, I was hoping this forum wouldn't start up again. Poor Skyhawk!:(

In all seriousness though, Skyhawk will most likely run again. A replacement part need to be found.
