The speakers are gone at least.

The trains are on the track now. They look kind of nice.

Also a new flat ride appeared. It's an SBF Visa Traffic Jam named "Rockin' Rodeo"

I can't tell from that picture, but I wanna know if there is going to be leg/ankle restraints. I remember something being very uncomfortable about those harnesses and it's the main reason I felt it was inferior to Millennium Force.

I can't say "Looks so much better without the VR device!" anymore when it comes to some coaster types! xD

They're not even putting back 2 seats on the middle row?

Wow this photo shows that you are safe enough to put your arms out. I'm kind of relieved to see what the train looks like in the underground part.

Fireball has opened to the public! They did a great job with integrating the ride into this area.

Somehow I'm not surprised. They had to replace the audio with something for the GP to not view it as a downgrade. I wish I'd seen this post earlier, since I was free, but I guess Dark Souls was fun too.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Didn't see this posted here yet, but here's a new POV.

So I guess I'm headed there on the 9th. I'm looking to test the VR pretty thoroughly on the lift, and will do a pretty big write up about features and shortcomings; including latency positional tracking etc. Anyone have any requests while I'm there?
