Like, did they add coaster track...?

Maybe they let the vehicles access an already built track that has two inversions? I honestly have no idea.

If anyone is reriding Werewolf, please give an update.

Someone posted that two inversions have been added to Curse of the Werewolf. Is this true?

where was this post? Definitely seems unlikely. I go Thursday, and will report back, but no clue the logistics of how that could even happen at this stage, without the ride closing down.

Who is this someone? Some rando person?
This is highly unlikely, they can't just add inversions without closing the ride and I've not seen anything about that.

Yes, another poster on this board.

Another example of needing sarcasm font. This is the post in question.

The statement was something like "yes, they added 2 inversions since Tuesday." Definitely sarcasm.

I need to stop taking things as potential facts, lol.

My apology to everyone!

I mean it would be a lot cooler if they did...a spinning inversion would be something actually new and different haha

Anyone else notice what appears to be a significant increase in wait times for Hiccup's Wing Gliders over the past week? Maybe it's just me but I'm wondering if they've been running fewer trains?

I feel like most rides the last few days have been above the averages. I checked thrill data and that seems to be the case. Northeast schools just wrapped up last week for the most part, so that could be part of it, with an end of school year rush starting.

Makes sense and I hope this is the case; keeping my fingers crossed it isn't running at reduced capacity. I know sometimes they have to take a train (sometimes multiple trains) out of commission for awhile while they wait for parts. Happened to me with VelociCoaster one trip where they were only running 2 or 3 trains (instead of the typical 4 or 5) for a stretch of 4 days or so.

Yep, the Yankees (those of us waiting for their littles to be sprung from school) are invading the south like clockwork.

Thrill data’s average daily wait-time average has been rather sobering. Holding out that the weekend data might still be relatively low this week.

My daughters want to get there so bad but I told them we will wait until the dust settles because it's crazy right now

Have the single day tickets for APH sold out recently? I don't think I can check myself online, since I don't have an activated AP.
Also, can anyone check how much it would cost a ticket for Saturday September 6th and Tuesday the 9th, please?

Thank you

Here is a screenshot from this morning of single day APH rate Epic tickets for September…

@wdwrule thanks for posting, I actually just asked this question in another thread and you posted my dates for me, lol. As a price compare, we're eyeing up Sep 27 which regular rate is $179 for one day only. $153 isn't so terrible in comparison. Of course it's a bit cheaper if you're buying it as part of a multi day ticket. That's $533 for a 5 day, 3 park ticket which would average around ~$106 per day but the math equation is a little off since only 1 day of that is eligible to be an Epic day.

Thanks a lot!
Now I understand why weekend are less busy than weekdays and Monday is the busiest day. The price increase for weekends is not indifferent.
