I think it is 36 degrees. it could be 35. I asked what it was but I can not remember. I do know that it ran all day sunday, and it was 37 and above.

Thanks guys I'm going this weekend and I was afraid that it might not run with it cooling down this week

I read the operating temperature has to start at 37 degrees but can run as low as 34... Burr... 37 degrees, down an 81 degree drop... can you imagine the wind burn?

Just like a boat ride down the Arkansas River at 5am in Jan at 25 to get to a duck hole. Fun times, good times.

More like cold times. I have chills and a fever today, and all this talk of cold weather ain't helping BBBRRRRRRRR

Hubs and I have been complaining of being cold for a few days. Well...until today...when the wind was blowing the window shade around, and I realized the WINDOW WAS OPEN!

All I can add to this is that we are warm now.

Working on getting the photos of the Rivertown changes done.
They'll probably be online tomorrow night.

I finally got to ride Today after 3 hours of waiting for the ride to open Today. I got 5 rides in all today. The coaster is amazing and it boggles my mind seeing it going through such impossible elements so smoothly.

On another note has anyone seen the new train gate for WildFire, It's a nicely decorated pair of flat plates that are attached to the Rail that opens in front of the train in the station. I wonder if the SDC Craftsman made it?

The Pics of The New Wildfire Gate Taken by my Phone can be seen here:

sawblade, great shot of new gates.. i like that...

seriously doubt that the onsite craftsman made them.. probably ordered and made someplace that has a cad cutter.

I'm glad they made one for Wild Fire. Wild Eagle's looked amazing and they probably wanted to add that touch of class to SDC. It very well could have come from B&M themselves.

Well if you didn't make it out to the City Today. You missed out on riding Outlaw Run in the Snow. Also Outlaw Run was a walk on throughout the day. It closed about 4:30 PM due to cold. Here are some pics from Today:

Anyone have any pictures of Crossroads Pizza yet?

sawblade5 · March 23, 2013, 11:36:50 AM

You need to poke Swoosh to upload his pics to MiG to see the pics of Crossroads Pizza. As for the food, they have been making the Pizzas bigger than advertised. The personal size was huge.

If you look at the trip reviews from opening day, there are shots of Crossroads Pizza on my Flickr site.
