It's a shame that this was announced so soon before the scheduled opening. If it were a month before it, no big deal. When it's rescheduled this close before the opening, you know some people are going to be upset if they have scheduled a trip there. But, they have to do what they have to do either for safety or whatever regulations that required the opening to be delayed.

I'm willing to wait. If we have waited this long, a few more weeks will not hurt. Let's just hope they get it open soon though.

Nothing that warrants a big surprise. Let's not overblow the load. I am perfectly fine with waiting another 2 weeks or so.

Sixflags may have screwed up in your opinion, but as far as I figure it. They tried their best to get it open ASAP, and if you feel Sixflags has issues. Well then why do you go? I’m sure you have gone right? I mean what is a couple of operational errors with new technology? They have provided America, Europe and Mexico with tons of great thrill rides, and valued entertainment. I look forward to the formal announcement for KK opening. I really think some people should think before they type with such negative statements. Doesn’t effort count anymore? It is apparent that in every aspect of our modern society people expect perfection.

I don't think anybody was surprised by this. It's a large, expensive machine. It needs to be done right. TTD had issues, and they are similar. I'll wait. No biggie. I've ridden TTD, 36 feet can't make too much difference.
Not to add fuel but, GreatBear, I think effort counts WAY to much these days. When people screw up the comment is more often than not, "I'm sorry, but I TRIED,".
