Dora is for the kids.... and kids see things differently than adults do..... that little train is HUGE to them.... and a lot of fun.

I am a huge fan of trains as well as roller coasters. I am a big pro rail/subway/light rail supporter for multiple reasons but that is another story not for this blog or thread. Yes, as an adult, the Dora train is a bit boring. But many people love the lore of the train. I actually think having a huge lift hill and a big drop above/beside you while riding the train will add to the ride, not hurt it. It should provide a great view more so than anywhere in the park. At least from a side/under angle. No way they are going to remove the train, after reworking the track. if anything, I think it would be cool to actually expand the train for next season and having it weaving under the lift hill and make it a bit longer, closer to what it was last year in length. The station and half of the track can stay, they would just have to lengthen it a bit. Just my 2 1/2 cents worth.

This was posted by somebody on themeparkreview:

One of my friends visited the park today and saw 2 large flat bed trucks leaving the park. One of them was by the entrance of the construction zone down by south gate. Perhaps it means something perhaps it doesn't, he said the straps on the back were loose as if something was just pulled off. This tells me it had JUST dropped something off, the truckers before most transit usually tighten down all straps and loose entity before long haul leaving.

Did any of you guys go to the park earlier today and see anything?
