Has anybody heard rumblings about 'fiesta latina' this year?

Once you start to get reports of folks seeing the trains running on a regular basis, then you should expect something happening in the next few weeks. And so far, one train has run a few times, nothing more.

When the report by DOSH is eventually released, it will focus on the piece of equipment that failed, and likely absolve the ride operators of any blame. The work going on now by Disney involves how to fix the mechanical problem before the ride can be reopened. The release of the DOSH report promises to not be flattering for Disney.<<

But in seriousness I'm sure you're right on it being advertised like crazy as though it was new.

And yes I’m antsy I’ll be at the park on 10/8 from Seattle…
