Shutdowns
Stealth with regard to rollbacks depends on many things the wind only certain directions affect it. The computer takes a average of the weight/speed of the last 5 trains I beleive hence the gradual loading in the morning. Also the wheels in use on the trains can make a big difference.

SAW: The Ride
The ride has tech issues yes and until further notice to reflect these issues the ride will be operating a six car service, this I think gives the ride a similar throughput as vortex and detonator e.c.t. So as mentioned SAW the ride will have a longer queue than normal. These are my own thoughts and are not those of the park.

I did work on Colossus in 08 thgh. hi 5'ing a moving train isnt a good idea though as it only takes one idiot to grab your arm .... so I wouldnt want to be giving hi5's on Colossus would I? , unless its whilst the train is not in motion or about to be sent.Also if I'm darker coloured its news to me. so it was prob someone else.
