It is squeaking WAY more than last year. It's litterally so loud it makes Mean Streak sound quiet. Now yes, it has to do with the wheels, and temp. At least they are not changing the wheels every hour this year. They have a lot more of the high temp wheels than at the end of last season on the train. I think the only parts that have the original wheels are the very front set of the lead car and the very last set of the train (I could be wrong, but pretty sure). So with more nylon wheels, it just creates more squealing. It starts to get somewhat annoying on certain days (depending on the wait) when it goes through the final overbanked turn. IMO Blue train is the quietest and goes the fastest. The train still does actually speed up throughout the day though. I just wish they could fix the squealing. Overall, I sill love the ride, squealing or not!! ;)
