Recent TTD reliability

I was pleasantly surprsied to be invited by a friend to accompany him and a few others to CP this weekend. I last went in 2002, when Wicked Twister was the new kid on the block. That means that I need only conquer Dragster to complete the repertoire. Aside from the jokes, I have no idea how reliable TTD really has been, especially this year.

It'd be great to know how it's been running recently and if I'll be able to ride it, because not doing so would be a great disappointment. Thanks all.

Well, when I was there this weekend, the ride was down 90% of Saturday. The mechanics had actually taken part of launch car's track out. There's a picture in my trip report.

That isn't great news. Hopefully it was a one day thing. Anyone go during this week (Sunday/Monday/Tuesday) that would know if there's a real problem?

Well I guess this is worthless now since Wildfyre posted that, but what the heck.

I went about a week ago and Dragster was up the entire time with only 2 mechanical breakdowns that lasted about 10 minutes each and I was there for 2 days! I didn't see one rollback and the op said that it hadn't for awhile.
