You guys can talk about Chi-Town traffic 'til you're blue in the face (the Blue Man Group, again?)....but the real PiA traffic in the U.S., North America, the World, perhaps even the Universe, is in/around L.A. Those folks must be crazy to live there! There'd be hailstorms in Hades before I'd deal with THAT traffic.....
Bill, Ganesville, 15-20 minutes each way to work, even when the students swarm like flies....
Thats funny because when I went to LA for Coaster Con XXV, I found that I liked driving in rush hour traffic in LA over driving in Chicago. Yes it was stop and go....but that is better than Chicago's parking lot traffic. Maybe it was my timing. But LA was not bad at all in rush hour.

I went both Saturday and Sunday. Here is what I saw:
1. The chain is still on Shockwave. It's very visable from the parking lot if you walk over to the fence to take a look.
2. There is a crane parked next to the Shockwave lift.
3. There was a red maintenance truck parked under Shockwave's final brake run on Sunday around 12:30 when I got to the park. Some sort of work was being done in this area, but I'm not sure what.
4. You can see the new track and supports very well from Iron Wolf's lift. Looks like a B&M Flyer to me, but I could be wrong.
5. East River Crawler is not a 3 foot stub. I'd say it's closer to 4 and 1/2 or 5 feet. :)

ondrew, that was me you met. I can vouch for him about what the employee said. It's true folks- the man is only relaying what an op said.
That said, the op's story seemed just a little fishy to me. After all, he did top the 4 D bit off by saying that next year Batman is going. ;)
