No Fast Pass
Line remains the same
Elevators have gotten a tune up too
Elevator outside is now orange

The big area with the most changes the top!
Rockets are now Gold Blue and Red
Gold for the body
Red for the sides
and Blues for the back I love the new look! instead of the white.

Planets
A whole lot more than before the bad news is they are not spinning and from what I'm hearing will not spin.

Hydrolic system is 10 times quite

That's all for now

They must have worked on the hydraulic system in the last two days because the whole time we were there you could hear it when they were testing.

Confession: I'm afraid of heights and the only time I rode it, at age 12, I couldn't pull the stick back to make the rocket fly high

 

[TiggersPooh]

Much slower

 

[NeonNinja]

Much slower

[DManRightHere]

Whaaaat. Hopefully it won't be slower. That'll screw up the g force!

I know it's nit-picky, but technically the spinner rides are pneumatic (air powered pistons) and not hydraulic (oil or other liquid pistons).

Glad to see it back open for my trip at the end of the month, even if the planets aren't spinning.

Unless they made those ridiculously tiny rockets bigger, I'm still done. Shiny or not.

I didn't think they were small and I am 6'4" and 265lbs. That is the fastest spinner ride I have ever been on.

ROckets are just repainted and same size.
