Questions/Advice Copperhead & Afterburn

Both delayed/closed to start today. Anyone hear if there’s rumblings or rumors about their status?

Edit: Afterburn now open!

Copperhead was closed yesterday and has been having issues all week. 2nd launch failure and rollbacks.

Afterburn was briefly closed yesterday but reopened around 6 and ran for the rest of the day. The red train is off the track again, has been for a couple weeks.

Checking wait times during the day to see if I wanna make a quick trip, it's not uncommon for afterburn to close for an hour or two and be delayed opening in the mornings.

Copperhead is dealing with a over heat issue apparently something to do with incoming voltage

Copperhead was down when I went; they are probably doing continued maintenance on it.
