Mean streak is still a wooden coaster, but you can definately tell that they have put a lot of track work into the ride. While last year they had replaced alot of structure lumber, this year alot of the track lumber was replaced, and also I saw several new guides dropped in which made for a smoother (not smooth, just smoother) ride.
Also of interesting note about the park, in case you did not know the Wildcat has been moved so the Iron Dragon Mid-way is very different now. And while riding the Mean streak in the middle on the ground were cars from the wildcat and also the blue train (I think train #3) from Gemini was sitting there.
Also of mention, the park is holding true on trying to run full trains on all rides. Aside from Gemini which is running 4 of the 6 trains, all trains seem to running on the rides (I will update if I notice anything not running this way) (Maverick had all 6 trains out, Millinium had all 3 out, and Mena streak had all 6 out)
here is a picture from waiting in Mavericks Line
More park pictures to come later
But here are two pictures from the drive to the park this morning

Lines where short, the weather was amazing and I would say almost everything was operating and going smoothly. I feel like this is one of the better staff training's I have noticed over the years of visiting the park in pre-season (excellent job CP, let's see this again next year). I rode all the coasters minus Corkscrew (just never made it that way this year) and also yet again I did not ride Wind Seeker, it is not really on the top of my list of rides, but it closed down when I was in the area to ride it, oh well I will ride it sometime.
If anyone has any questions or is looking for a specific update let me know.
Otherwise sit back, relax, and enjoy the pictures below.
