Road it again this morning. This time row 9. Very bumpy. Something is going to need adjusting at some point

That's Vekoma for you. All their coasters are like that. Their new stuff is good but their older models all suffer from that. They don't call their inverted coasters hang and bangs for nothing.

So that’s what “hang n bang” means.

Think Disney will give them a 2 for 1 sponsorship deal and throw in Space Mountain as well?
*Edit* Poor choice of wording, Disney gives nothing for free. Should probably have said "Package deal".

Ride it last night! It's like they did half a refurb - the new lighting in the load platform is fantastic and the new neon in the box is bright. It also appears they added new signs and effects, which is great.
The ride experience is still as old feeling and 90's vekoma as normal. It does not appear that they did any track work, which is a shame.

Wasn't there a problem with the launch? You wouldn't see that but maybe they worked on it

Apologies, I meant feeling. The ride experience is still rough and a head banger (sat in the second row).

It was 2010 or so that I did 12 cycles in a row one morning it was so smooth and swoopy I'm not glad to be hearing it is rough now. Old girl is just getting older

RnRC has always felt a bit rough to me. I take off my earrings when I ride because I've hurt my earlobes when I've worn them with all the side to side banging and roughness.
I haven't ridden in over a year because of this. Too bad, because I really like the high speed launch and the theming. Hope they fix it to make it smoother.

Yes, but Space doesn't have your hitting your ears on the restraints so it's a better ride experience compared to the head-banging.
Recently rode the newly refurbished boomerang at Hersheypark and the new Vekoma restraints are soooo much better than the old ones. Hoping Disney can add those to the RnRC one day.

DD10 then said it was Vortex at KI rough in 2019. I don't remember well enough to compare because I skipped Vortex quite often.

Not surprised. Most parks are scrapping their Arrows and Vekomas. Disney really needs to start re-tracking their older coasters.

Can you imagine being the middle manager attempting to staff this thing

Rode today and it looks the best I have seen it in years. The signs are very bright and colorful. The map/city lights of LA on the floor is more visible than ever. Everything timed very well.
