Can't wait! My husband and I are scheduled for 8AM as well!

Raptor sure looks good with the new paint. Valravn also looks impressive, can't wait to see it in person.

Curious to see if Shoot the Rapids is still standing...

According to one pic in the live blog, it looks like the smaller lift hill has been removed.

Yes, but no crane or other equipment around. That's strange.

Maybe they have redesigned that second lift hill/drop and will be re-building? May be a slow and methodical removal of the ride? But you would think if it were the later both lifts/drops would be gone at the same time.

Dragster looks really good with new paint, can't wait to see it when its finished

Really liked the backstage experience with the trains. A lot of history in there.

Of course I flipped right through to see STR as well, and there is was, still standing. I'm assuming there was no news shared when the group walked past the still-standing ride?

Sweet Valravn trains!

Hard to tell what the on ride photo and souvenir building will look like. Looks like to the side there's a overhang you can sit at? Or maybe that's a space for lockers...

Valravn trains look great!

From what i could see STR does not appear to all be standing, the second hill is missing.

Look on Twitter at #WinterChillOut. There are some photos of the second hill, or lack thereof, that are more zoomed in.

At first I thought STR was still there as well, however once it was brought up the smaller lift hill has indeed been removed.

Apparently Skyscraper is gone.

RipCord? Challenge Park Raceway?

I saw at least the arch of Ripcord in one of the photos

Any additional announcements that can be shared yet?

Last year I believe they weren't allowed to reveal anything until 2pm. Maybe the same thing this year.

It's to prevent the event for the later groups from being spoiled

2:30 PM news can be released to the masses.
