Does anyone think Vu and V2 will be running the entire season for once?

I was last at SFGam in Aug of 2005 (skipped last year due to health issues. Had surgery in August to resolve it. But by the time I was released from the doc, the season was pretty much over...

I was hoping they'd do another Nov. 1 or Nov 2 day, but it never happened. :(

Anyway, I have NEVER been able to ride Vu or V2 YET...both have been closed EVERY TIME I've gone since the rides have been up.

I guess I should plan on hitting them both 1st this time. :D

99.9% chance Vu will go down for more than a full day if not week and 99.8% chance V2 goes down for an extended period.

If you need to ride and you're at the park and either or both are running, def ride both asap, V2 will be reliable for extended periods then suddenly close for a few weeks, with Vu being more flaky where it opens just about every day sooner or later but goes up and down frequently, and sometimes when it goes down it stays down depending on the problem or weather.

I DEFINITELY need to ride...haven't been on either one yet...

I'm gonna make sure I hit both of them 1st....or the one that is running...depending on situation... lol

Probably the only chance I'll have of riding since I make it to the park so sporadically usually....

Thanks for the tip! :)

They are currently in the process of redoing the roof on Eagle's station. The wood shake roof is being replaced with blue asphalt shingles.

Also, they're doing construction where Turbo Bungy was. It looks like they are preparing to move Free Throw Fanatics (the Basket Ball game by Johnny Rockets) in to that spot. The markings on the ground are the exact same shape.
