On ride videos, but that is about it. After two rides today I can say it is rough and wasn't enjoyable, the queue line is still a pond and I am pretty sure there was a teabag on the nets :lol The restraints also still smell disgusting, haha

I'm with you there-the restraints stank and it was very rough indeed. A contrast to last year. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, as i like the ride, but not this rough!

When it reversed down the vertical lift?

If thats what you mean then there is a video on the TT Facebook page from when it happened.
