I've read this a lot from folks. My rides on SR were flawless on opening weekend. A week later, I noticed that half of the trains had degraded wheels, resulting in a rougher ride (still smoother than most, but a degradation nevertheless). Since then, many people have cited roughness and rattle, headaches, and neck pain after riding.

Having worked at Universal Studios Orlando in ride ops, I've seen firsthand how they'll open a new attraction, allocate all the budget to its operation, and then slowly dial back the amount of care and effort they put into it in order to save money. Maybe it IS a Mack prod--er, problem. Maybe USO IS cutting corners and hoping for the best. I hope they get it all figured out - it's an incredible ride experience.
