Looks like one of the cars derailed.

So crazy! I wonder what the foreseeable future will be for Boomerang. It will definitely be closed for a long time, if not the entire season. Perhaps they will buy a new train. I guess it could prompt an entire removal but I don't necessarily think so.

This is really disturbing. The season hasn't even started and the trains should have been checked thoroughly in the off season. I wonder how old the parts of the train are.

The Screaming Eagle shut down Saturday and it's running again

I wonder if Boomerang will open at all this season. It still has not been operable since the accident.

When I attended the New Revolution media day back in May, I was chatting with the former head of ride operations. He held that position until just a few months ago when he moved into a new role. Anyway, he said the ride was ready to open, but they were waiting on the go ahead word from corporate. Again, this was back in May so who knows?

[Vonni]

I didn't realize corporate involved itself in those types of situations. Interesting. I wonder why they are taking so long. Not that I'm anxious to ride or anything. I'm just interested in the situation.

Boomerang reopened on Saturday. From all accounts its running well.
