Very fresh paint and it was cold. Demon usually runs slow when it's very cold out.

As for Revolution spinning as asked, for half the ride it swings not all that high and spins clockwise slowly and the spinning stops and reverses, then it spins much much faster counter-clockwise and it swings a bit higher for that. And a slight update, I hear it will be tweaked this week (and it does have different programs though right now ride, but op's cant choose which one)

Demon did seem a little slow to me. Also, Giant Drop felt weak. And the second time I rode Viper on Saturday it was seriously flying, it was going so fast.

Parks just warmin up, also I dont know about you but for me a lot of trains were half empty which doent really help the ole 'running better' factor.

Also anyone notice Bull is off to a great start (normally feels slow opening weekend), Viper was doing great, and Iron Wolf felt real smooth.

I really noticed the smoothness on Iron Wolf, it amazed me sense I was riding back row. Raging Bull was great, and I also thought Viper ran quite fast.

Revolution was okay...I was expecting a little more thrill...but it was still fun, although 2/3 times I was on it, it broke. :(

Stargate was pretty dumb. I'm not into that whole scientific like thing. Pretty much just used that to warm up and defrost. I want Dino Island back!
