Or is this just a normal refurb since it's "off" season?

I'm the one who was saying what a delightful time I had back at the end of september. Of course it WAS the hottest day in the entire history of LA that weekend, but the guest counts in the park were low. And we were back on the road heading home in an air conditioned car during the worst of it. We never went on GRR during our two day visit. For one thing, I really don't like getting drenched, even in hot weather. For another, we stood in line to obtain FPs for WOC at DCA opening, so in a way we felt like we already waited in "that" line once - even though it was for something else.
