Same for me... A message pops up saying "stream not found". I wonder whats happening. It could be that they actually aren't working, or that the park doesn't want us to see something... :eh:

It's the former.

They are testing THREE trains now. I saw first one with dummies on, then as soon the first train go up the hill into final brakes, second one came out on the lift (without dummies). THEN as soon as second train get out of webcam, THIRD one without dummies went up the lift.

So I think it's safe to say that they are running all trains now.

I only see one of each..One with and one without water dummies.

In my opinion, I think the dead spot everyone talks about after the turnaround I think was put in place to allow people to catch their breath, like a MCBR, not to slow the train down but to a cruise for 3 seconds and breathe before the airtime hill the helix and the other bunny hops at the end.

Do y'all think it's possible when all 3 trains are being used that 2 trains to run the course at the same, as in one hitting the first turn and the 2nd would be hitting the airtime hill. Nothing like flying past another train on the same coaster.

My eyes may play with me, but I swear I saw first one with dummies then next TWO without dummies before back to first one with dummies. I think they went back to two trains now...

Sadly, they won't allow that, since that would mean 2 trains in same block. If there are two trains on same block, there WILL be risks of crashing into each other if the forward train decides to valley. If the operator really want to push the limit, they could have a train cresting the lift hill as soon as forward train arrived to final brakes.
