The day started cloudy, but gradually cleared. Almost all rides were operating, but there seemed to be quite a number of mechanical difficulties. Superman, Two Face, Jokers Jinx, and Typhoon Sea Coaster all suffered break downs during the day. Roar and Wild One were running two trains, all of the other coasters were in one train operation.
I was surprised to see that the blue train for Superman was not even on the service track, but it was not badly needed since the wait never seemed to be much over 30 minutes.
The operation of the park seemed much better in every respect than it was for my early visit last year. Not only were more rides operating, but the park personnel seemed better trained.
Construction on Batwing was continuing nicely. Nearly all of the vertical steel is now up. Since the pictures that I saw on the news last Friday, one side of the station has been tracked, the trackage has been extended from the top of the lift to the bottom of the first drop. This is quite a bit of track on this coaster since the rollover and a fully 180 degree turn come between the top of the lift and the first drop. I would estimate that they put up about 100-150 feet of track while I was at the park today.
Th park map shows a new skycoaster, but there were no signs that construction had begun.
The line for processing season passes was long in the morning, so we waited until 1:00 to get our mug shots taken. By then, the total time required was less than 15 minutes.
