jglonek's note:
This was originally posted yesterday in the Chit Chat forum but I thought it was big enough news to move to the main page. Houdini opening again! Who would have thought?! I was sure that ride was gone for good. But this is great news.

Yes I noticed both of these yesterday in the park . As well as King Da ka running all 4 trains , nitro running 3 and Bizarro running 3 it was a great day in the park. Rolling thunder was also running 4 trains believe it or not but it is all true . NOW WHY does this not happen in the summer ???

Just like all of the coasters at the park.

Houdini is a gem of a ride. I have a reason to go back to the park now.

I made a comment that I wanted to stop posting once I reached my favorite ride at GA. Matt thinks his favorite is Houdini, even tho I know it's El Toro. :P

LOL Dan!

Houdini is a cool, overlooked ride. It's worthy of my support. ;) Everyone else can be The coasters. I want Houdini. :)

That is awesome news about Houdini!  Now there's definitely no reason to go to SFNE.  They ruined SROS/Bizarro big time and now our own Houdini is back open again.
