It also still appeared as the sole "closed" ride listed on the red LED scrolling signs outside the entrance today.

I'm sure that because of the problem they weren't able to get in the amount of tests needed to open the ride and that's what they are doing now.

They ran an empty train at 4:50ish today. I wasn't in the area long enough to see how many more trains ran.

They ran quite a few empty trains today. I hope it's back open soon.

Crew training maybe? Or perhaps its still preseason testing still as I have no idea if it had the number of cycles required to be certified before the part had to be replaced. If it doesn't open this weekend I say they are trying to get it ready for May 8th when Daily Operations start.

They were cycling them well into the evening.  Saw some go through as late as 8:50 pm.  

Invertigo just opened!

I don't see Adventure Express going anywhere anytime soon, unless its ridership is excessively low. It's a reliable Arrow mine ride that's not too scary and overall a blast.

Gemini probably won't be going anywhere anytime soon, and I enjoy it a lot less than AE.

If you were up here today, you would see for sure that ridership on Adventure Express is nowhere near excessively low. Line is out to the entrance.

I would like to know your source on annual maintenance because usually they don't have a hug crane near the lift hill in the offseason like they have today.

Also, IndyGuy4KI said it is open and running now, as of around 1pm today. He said he saw it had people on it when he was on the Banshee platform.

I am.

Invertigo was working on Saturday, had a wait of about an hour

It was running yesterday (Sunday). The wait was about an hour. I really do enjoy the ride, but the payoff isn't worth the wait. It was nice, though, for the rest of my family to get to experience it. 

I would never wait that long again for that ride. If it isn't a 2 or 3 cycle wait I don't wait for it.

Since the line for Banshee was ridiculous by halfway through ERT yesterday, I decided to go wait for Invertigo instead. I was first in line when they opened it, but waited for the second train since four Fast Lane patrons took both ends of the first one (smart cookies buying their bands that early, and I'm sure they really paid off with how busy yesterday was). Felt good to ride it for the first time this year.

I would never wait that long again for that ride. If it isn't a 2 or 3 cycle wait I don't wait for it.

I won't again, but it's one of those that I think all coaster lovers should ride once, and 3/4 of my family hadn't ridden it (it was the youngest's third non-kiddie coaster ever).

We waited about an hour for it as well yesterday but by that point we rode everything else we wanted to ride.
