I'm assuming that this will be the tunnel that the train is in. I hope that it moves forward in the tunnel toward the track to make it more dynamic.
It’s barely been 80 for the last 3 weeks. Extreme heat didn’t cause this.
“ The incident happened around 4 p.m. Officials say the front wheels of car three on the train went off the track by about two inches. It caused cars two and three to separate. Park officials say new safety protocols worked as designed, stopping the train. It also kept all of the remaining cars upright.”

SDC wouldn’t even be here today if they never changed. They’re a business, just because their theme is about the past doesn’t mean that they have to be stuck in the past with business.Everything changes. There is no future otherwise.
SDC has never been about the future: it is--or has been--explicitly about the past.
I would be perfectly satisfied--nay, delighted!--with the SDC of 1970, prior to ALL of the coasters.
I guess that makes sense. I assumed that the cameras were more of a turnkey rental program and not necessarily an outright purchase.It’s more like a lease through Kodak. They provide all the equipment (ride cameras, photo cameras, computers, servers, screens, etc) and their tech support. I’m not sure how much SDC pays for it when they went in-house, but I’d assume that amount would increase for each on-ride location they add. They planned doing the same thing for Mystic River, as in a photo-op location like TT, but COVID ruined both that idea and TT’s photo-op.
