Popped on park for the last hour today, got some food and took a lap on El Grande Uno.
The park was dead - so much so, Big One was running four cars on a single train and if no one was waiting for your row you could re-ride (or hop into an empty row from the exit side) - it was absolutely flying.
The park obviously had no intention of running Valhalla today, but it was testing and there was the sound of several fire blasts for each boat. Also, the air/water canon on the final curve when you emerge from the facade is now working. It's weird how they have built a little box for it to operate in, sort of (but not really) hiding the mechanism from onlookers, but riders get a full view of the air tank, blast chamber and plumbing.
