I have ridden Manta in the rain (sprinkling). It wasn't that bad. I've also ridden Hulk in the rain (2007). I don't recall feeling any pain.
I've never ridden a coaster when it's really sprinkling. I know it's painful from what I've heard.
Yeah, the music just stops. I remember that from my ride in January.

Well I'm glad that I've never been there for Halloweekends. I've been to CP twice, both in the early summer. But yeah just the feeling of getting shot with an automatic airsoft gun in the morning is just thrilling.
No, plus I feel like the track would end up like Hulk's and the LED system under the car would be messed with if exposed to too much moisture.
It's my favorite ride in the Orlando area. It's also very photogenic. Please post those pictures!
I have a quick question. Does anybody know when they are going to open the express queue? My cousin is going and he wants to know when it will be open.

No one is quite sure as of right now. The only rumored opening time is when TWWoHP opens but even that's not confirmed. Chances are, we will find out when it is open when someone reports back saying it was open during their trip. It is basically like soft openings, we aren't going to get a heads up.
Thank you. Maybe a possibility of spring break. But until then, we will have to wait.

The Rockit has been closed since about 4:15 due to wind. I still managed to ride it before it closed. 15 minute wait for single-riders.
Seems like Rockit is having more issues.. it valleyed today at about 2pm and will be closed for the remainder of the day.
Coasters valley. It happens. If I had a nickel for every time Kingda Ka, Top Thrill Dragster, or any other coaster vallied, I'd have a toilet made of gold.
Ahhh and let's see all the excited Hands for the state of the art amazing New Harry Potter Ride....Bad feeling after all the HRRR issues.
:violin:
I remember hearing that back in 2006, Riddler's Revenge valleyed. Back when it was testing, Expedition Everest valleyed (I think). Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka valley frequently. In 2008, during testing, Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland valleyed (it was on purpose though). Also, in early 2009, Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure valleyed. In late 2009, Carolina Cobra at Carowinds valleyed.
I agree with you.

I would think not otherwise there would of already been local chopper footage making a deal overhead of people evacuating from it.
Either way this is not good for oeprations at all.
