Re: Shockwave Trains
The way I recall the brakes were, there wouldn't be a way of stacking four trains without setting up the ride. And when I subbed up there, with three trains, if we were on interval, by the time a train was out, the next one was ready to be advanced into the station, so I don't thing there would be a...

Six Saints Cemetery
Went to the park for Fright Fest today. They had a great display set up near the Games Gallery to memorialize all the old rides:

You can get spinning in any car, it just takes the right technique. Personally, Fiddler's Fling is t...
