The entrance/exit of cliffhanger ain't all that bad (definately don't need lockers, although they make it a lot easier)...the "little troop that could" handled it quite well a couple years back! I even remember him getting chears from the toy and jeep guys standing by watchlng!
I remember it well...I don't know if it was that much more eroded this year or what, but there wasn't a line tried that any of the VX's made it up, & yes the tried & true "E-brake shuffle" was in play.
