As someone who professionally manages projects I loved the "To Do" lists of the various sections of Matugani that needed to be completed.  It is a great way to easily visualize what needs to be done and it is great getting to cross something off of the list of things to be done.



 We were allowed to go pretty much anywhere including the maintenance area cat walk.



We even got into the station to check out the launch track...



...and the pusher that takes the power from the hydraulic launch and will propel this coaster to forty seven miles an hour in a few seconds.



For those of you who don't know the fins that are sticking up are magnetic brakes that are retracted right before launch and will pop back up as soon as the train passes in case the launch doesn't give the ride enough speed to clear the top hat hill.
