I'll keep this short (pun intended)
Crowds: heavier than a usual Sunday. It is Labor Day weekend so all usual trends go out the window.
Millennium Force: Got to park a little late so had to wait more than usual. Got in line around 9:30, rode at 10:00. Back seat ride. Tons of air on all hills. Yes, it's getting faster still
Magnum: Same old Magnum.
Mean Streak: Lift brakes grabbed hard. So hard that the train felt like it was near stalling on the first two turns. Noticed an addition to the infield. See Gemini.
Mine Ride: Same old CCMR.
Raptor: Rode earlier in the day than usual. Waited 1hr15min. Back seat ride. Great as usual.
Gemini: 3rd seat blue. Rougher than usual, probably bad wheels. Here's the fun part. They've removed a set of trains already. Instead of their usual winter resting place on the backside of Mean Streak, they're sitting in the Mean Streak infield near below the 2nd turn/3rd hill. Questions are to to be raised as to why.
