Was just at the city this past weekend. Crowds weren't too bad, but I did see something new (or that I don't remember). When riding the Elehpant March, Fire Spotter, and the racing regatta, the rides seemed to freewheel quite a bit before they stopped. I remember from prior trips a more gradual deceleration that seemed assisted by a brake. This time it seemed like the rides slowed due to their own friction.
Maybe I'm misremembering...
