Rode it a few times last week for the first time in a while. Very glad that rows were not being allocated like earlier in the season and I hope it stays that way. Went straight to the very back row, every time but yet to do it on the front. Extremely pleased after my disappointment with it earlier in the season that it felt more like the old version again. Sat back in my favourite row and seat (row 8 left hand side). All the old intensity back.
No improvement on the rattle front, sounded the same at the same points. Not really detracting until the end though. Not sure if it was because of where I was sat, but the vibrations felt worse on back row. It's a highly noticeable tapping sensation from the seat. Basically like someone is gently patting you on the ass repeatedly.
Didn't queue more than 5 mins all day so it was much better being able to walk through the queue line rather than staring at a shipping container, a lift hill, a car park, and a cheap gun for an hour. It works much better as a queue line you walk through rather wait in, whereas the pit was a better place to wait in before. At the end of the day however they were directing us down into the pit old route style which was cool. That walk is quite a trek when it's quiet, so I hope they shorten it into he future. I notice the broken lamp post still greets you by the entrance. But nothing appears to have broken yet anywhere else which is a plus for these lot.
