^It is about time they added some more cars to TDK.
^ oh trust me they are gonna need it.
^They are going to need them for FF that is for sure! To bad they are not running all 10.
Dark Knight is running 10 cars
whizzer is running 3 cars (I have never seen that before)
^ Then you haven't been there alot, or you've had bad luck. Whizzer runs 3 trains pretty much every day from mid-June to mid-August and every Saturday and Sunday during Fright Fest.
^ I go there a lot but just about every time I go its closed or stuck or has an insainly long line
Demon was down all day Sunday and Monday. Not sure why.
Does anyone know why Demon doesn't run 3 trains anymore? I haven't seen it this year but I saw it run 3 a few times last year...are they doing a re-furb on Yellow?
And for Whizzer, the 5 times I have ridden Whizzer this summer it was only running 2 trains  [read]
Demon ran 3 trains for a good portion of the summer. I have no idea why its closed now though.
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
There were some mechanical problems with the block section.
I have seen it running 3 trains at least 3 times I went, and I mostly went on less busy days so... "The rides are GREAT, The shows are GREAT, the fun is GREAT. At Marriott"s GREAT AMERICA!"
The line for Demon is so short, I dont see why would they use 3 carts. That would be more work for them. And the line would probably be the same. 
The ride status has been updated to reflect opening day.
Yikes 1-2 trains, 2 cars RC and 5 cars TDK of course water rides closed....anyone actually excited about next weekend if it is open??? Anyone?
13 Years with SFGAm World!
I dont know about the accuracy of the reduced capacity, im sure theyll have more trains ready by next weekend at least on some rides.
No, not really, in fact not at all. But I'll be there anyways  Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
Wow, a lot of stuff is only 1 train! Batman the Ride with one train is unseen except for CAD when they suspect no one to be there (They figure to minus a train so the mechanics can go home earlier), but than it's like a mob of people in line. The newest kids section is going to be closed. Maybe, that's because of that roof collapsing, but how about putting walls around the fountain, and open it.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
^ You're forgetting that "roof" over Wiggles would effect everything except Big Red Planes and Fruit Salad. If it really did collapse, I wouldn't think they'd want guests going near it. As for the 1 train ops, it certainly is less than ideal, but I doubt crowds will be an issue. Considering Maintenance effectively lost an entire month of time to rehab the trains, I think they are in OK shape.
Most likely due to something being wrong with the other train that night, the mechanics dont leave any earlier if the rides running 1 train and SFGAm isnt a park that just drops to 1 train on major rides in the middle of the day. The latest ive heard about Wiggles is that they fixed the issue and it will be open (maybe except for Big Red Cars). Keep in mind im now on the other side of the country and nobody that runs this site really goes there anymore, so its not as easy to have 100% accuracy like previous years. The ride status is now relying on outside sources (also known as anyone who will contribute to it)  ...
Like all of County Fair section, Wiggles World likely open at 11am with the rest of the section.
Its amazing that that at least one train on each coaster is operating with all the crazy weather we are having Party all Night, Sleep all DAY!!!
^The trains are probably refurbed in a warehouse building, and inbetween the bad weather they probably cycle them to get how many test runs they need on each one.
