Heres my TR from WCO! I was fortunate to be in the 8 AM group for the event and overall it was amazing as always! The itinerary was as follows:
-Zombie High Haunt Maze Walk-through
-Millennium Force Trains Photo Ops
-Steel Vengeance Close Up Op
-Dragster Hydraulic Room
-Tony & Jason Presentation
-Classified Media Release (shhhh.............)
-On Park Laundromat Tour
-Intamin Maintenance Shop Tour

After all that we had about an hour to enjoy lunch and being indoors. The park added an addition to the tour this year as after the tours where done, we could go to the Amazement Shop where almost every single coaster that's not at Intamin is worked on in the off-season!Also found out that although Arrow filed for bankruptcy, they are still a company, but with S&S as most of the trains, bolts and everything are supplied by Arrow still (well technically S&S). I'm just going by what one of the leads from the maintenance shop told us.....

Overall, the additions for this year are looking amazing and Steel Vengeance just looks phenomenal! I personally cannot wait for opening day!

(For those who don't know and i haven't been able to keep up with the thread recently, tony did say that a first riders benfit will be coming!)
