Questions...

I'm sorry if these have already been answered, but I couldn't find the answers within the hundreds of replies I've read tonight, so I thought I would just start an official question thread. So here it goes...

1. Why were the last seats in the trains empty?

2. We heard earlier today from a local news source that the trains were reduced to 4 cars because of the magnetic brakes. Was this confirmed by any official CP folks?

3. If #2 is in fact true, do they have an eta for the new magnets, and what kind of downtime do they anticipate having, in order to replace the breaks, add the 5th cars and adjust the timing of the circuit? My luck, it will start on the same day I go to the park ;-)

4. Any word from CP officials on shade coverings for the queues (sp)?

Thanks to those who provide the answers. This ride looks totally amazing. I can't wait to experience it for myself in 12 days!!

Please use a title that has some kind of meaning. It's a forum... most topics are "questions."

1. No reason was given.

2. Wrong. That's crap. Half of the brake run has its fins removed so the train comes back the same day. They're simply in a "break-in" period and are launching shorter trains.

3. Again, whoever said it, it was crap.

4. They're in pieces everywhere. They aren't "done," which is the case for much of the area. I don't doubt the theme elements and such will come a long way between now and opening day.
