The Raven Roller Coaster at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, Santa Claus, Indiana

For the Raven's second train several more brakes were added to the brake run.  These are so a train can be stopped sooner, should the second train dispatch late.

I so need to hop on The Raven and go for a ride.  I keep telling myself just ten more days to go.

In addition to the  transfer track and storage building the Raven's structure has had a bunch of new wood added to strengthen it.

With the second train also comes a new computer control system for the Raven.  Instead of the ride operators controlling the brakes to bring the Raven into the station now the whole process will be automated.  The computer has redundant systems that will keep track of where the trains are at all times and keep them apart.
