WOW! TDD is covered in fog!

Now would be an awesome time to ride Dragster! It has disappeared into the fog.

WOW! Thanks for the weather report. I think the drop side of power tower would be way cooler.

What IS the air-speed velocity of an African swallow?

Just saw something kool on the FunCoast cam. With that sweet looking belt of fog near the bottom half of the tower. Ahh sooo nice it looks... ANYWAYS, getting back to it. I just saw the longest pause of a train near the top I have ever seen. Looked about 5 seconds. Train slooowly creeping forward and then finally over. Is it windy at the point right now? If it is, it is blowing in the same dirrection that causes problems with Raptor ?

It was, you couldn't even see the ground.

I got 4 rides today and a rollback, riding in the fog was amazing. I got two fog rides and it was cool becasue when you got to the top all you saw was blue sky and the sun. My trip report is in the TR section.

That description reminds me of Matrix Revolutions where the ship goes above the clouds for a few moments...

Granted, Dragster doesn't have Sentinels chasing it and the fog doesn't contain lightning...

Well I guess we can always keep our fingers crossed on a long shot that CP will add them (sentinels) at a later date :)

Only if we get to control lasers mounted on the train to shoot them down!!

The fog was amazing yesterday! We, like Dan, got 4 rides and a rollback --- incredible for our first day of launching! (We go the first Tuesday of the season sans kids, and last year TTD was down most of the day or had upwards of a 5-hour wait). Our first launch midmorning (after the first mechanical hiatus) was bliss. I think I forgot to breathe, but a smile was plastered on my face both on launch and return. We got FreeWay passes for 4-5pm (which really were not necessary given the 1/3 hour wait for everyone at that time) and had our second launch (in the fog) by 4:30. We - of course - circled around to the que again. This time, we got to the station in about 20 minutes and loaded into the train. Then came the announcement - and rotations to remove all three full trains. Even saw Mr. Kinzel on the platform. After a while the first train reloaded - and rolled back. They got over the second time and we got to go. The ROLLBACK was worth the wait! (-: We barely cleared the tophat on our second launch ("can someone give us a push" came from the last seat) - and eventually we made it over. Thougth I saw a bird up there as we were decending, only to realize someone lost their cell phone. Don't think that one will ring anymore.

How long where you guys waiting up at the top of ttd.

Rode in the fog but didn't experience a rollback this trip. Slightly dissapointing.

(Not Really, any ride on TTD is a great one. The fog did add a lot to the ride, though. Might want to fog it up for Halloweekends)
