I was also at the park, (pics later), Was it just me or did S:UF look darker?
Were you there around 12:30 / 1PM? Someone else was near me when I was shooting and then followed me to where Little Dipper is (which ended up being a dead end).
I didn't notice that colors on S:UF being much different, but I pass it 2 times a day 6 days a week at least. I know Bull look different based on amount of sun.
So it's probably the snow as I suspected. I have a really big favor to ask of you. Would it be possible for you, if you have a good camera, to get a picture of the park from the corner edge of McDonalds? there is a really great vantage point, but I have a terrible zoom on my camera. This would be MUCH appreciated, and I could work out a way of plugging you on my website!
An explanation for the delay in arrival of CHANG could be that KY Ironworks is checking the supports, and B&M is checking the track. That would make great sense.
Actually that would make no sense at all. B&M doesn't check track, it's 2 guys and a handful of support staff sitting in Switzerland, and Iron Workers dont check anything, the erect and dismantle steel structures.
When SFGAm or whoever gets it (gotta add that until it's official), when it's painted they will check everything over for defects. Never in the history of roller coasters has a ride been dismantled and professionally checked for anything.

^ Possible answers to Chang questions: "No comment", "I have no comment on that at this time", "Chang has been removed from SFKK and will reopen at a Six Flags park in 2011", and "Any questions that do NOT involve Chang or SFKK? No? Ok, Q&A is over"
(sings)If you want to be my Chang-y, doesn 't matter if your black or white, or brown, or blue, or green, or red, or orange, or mauve, or yellow... 2010 trips- Dollywood, SFGAm, maybe SoCal

Ugg, that brings back one of my worst roller coaster memories, when I rode T2. T2 was by far, the worst coaster iv'e ever rode. After I got off that damn thing I had a headache for the next hour and a half. I was praying for it to end while I was riding it.
