I’ve been following this project since the beginning; so I had a thorough understanding of the layout, elements, and general...
I hope they are able to start finding some consistency in the maintenance schedule. It would be wonderful if for the next few weeks it could open like today just before 11. That should give it decent running time (minus the storms of course) and make queuing during the morning worthwhile.
