So I went to SFNE today (8/16). And guess what? SROS was closed all day. Further annoying was the fact that it wasn't even posted online in advance, it wasn't until we had driven 2.5 hours to the park that it was posted on the window in the form of a sloppy sign.
Anyways, I questioned at least 5 different staff members whom continued to rotate the position of gaurding the SROS gate and telling people it was closed all day, and perhaps tomorrow. They claimed it wasn't being worked on currently - I doubted that. So, I went behind an area to the right of the entrance which wasn't blocked off (though probably should have been), and was able to see the station area completely. Anyone want to guess what I saw?
So does anyone have any sort of idea of what's going on with SROS? It must be more then serious and a typical breakdown, maybe a part was damaged and has to be ordered from Intamin? It'd be really cool to get the inside scoop and true story from someone within. All I know is that it was broken down for part of the 15th as well, and may be broken still tomorrow and/or for the next few days (especially since it wasn't being fixed today), so heads up to anyone planning to visit the park.
In addition to several other breakdowns throughout the day (Mind Eraser & Batman .. go figure) and planning issues, I've decided to make another trip back sometime early next week, so I'll leave an update if I discover anymore.
Good ole SROS reliance [xx(]
