And they complained about the innuendo, at least that was entertaining to the masses.

Does anything say that the track has to be the one consistent colour it's entire length?

I might be wrong on the centre rail then, I'm sure I read that here somewhere though.

No idea to be honest. I think it was explained here once years ago. I know the "rail" in the centre is part of the position tracking system. I'd imagine it would be the computer expecting the car to accelerate/decelerate to certain points at certain times, and it not meeting those goals. Not loosing it as such, just giving up if it runs slower or faster than expected.

Computer lost track of the car is my understanding of the cause behind what happened. Not been involved in one myself.

I feel like hiring a crane and parking it there, just for something new to talk about.

Is the a fog machine on the tunnel mouth? Oil from that if there is. Otherwise fluid from one of the restraint pistons (they aren't ratchet anymore from memory).

Answer "yes, I believe it was a failure of the flux capacitor" or similar and see if it gets printed.

Exactly, do you check your tyre pressure every day, or just make sure it's not flat and check it once in a while?

They've used green lantern as every one sees it, and it's the one that nearly killed several people.

Plus there are bolts, motors, brakes, PLC etc that need transport and storage.

Sold to Village a while back didn't it?

@AlexB, makes the decision to put it in the old graveyard even stranger when you put it like that.

We are expecting that space to relate to the new ride though. You could have probably squeezed into the Arkham courtyard if you used the old queue, relocated/removed the unused Arkham shop, and removed the old Lethal Weapon theatre. All moot now of course.

I saw the show recently, and my thought was "how amazing are these animals". My dog won't do anything he doesn't want to do, I'm sure the dolphins are the same.

Just before the change, it didn't. Was a point of discussion on here. Originally it did go much higher.

Prior to the new car, it didn't go much higher though.

Not at all, just didn't see the significance in the colour of the nuts. Figure you might have been fishing. Those are clearly just for the casting stage, as much larger ones are used for the ride from what I've seen.

I thought it was if they floated like a duck?

"Some 335 million guests safely enjoyed 1.6 billion rides at 400 USA amusement parks. The chance of being seriously injured on a permanent ride at a USA amusement park is 1 in 16 million. Only five per cent of these injuries – about 50 of those 1.6 billion – were serious enough to warrant a visit to a hospital." Should it be "the chance of being injured" (remove seriously)? As it then mentions the percentage of serious injuries later on.

Last train of the day half loaded and you are in for a really quick launch to top speed.

What needs to be kept in mind is, that to the GP, these rides are "scary and dangerous". Us tragics know how the winch system on Superman works, the block systems, brakes on Giant Drop etc. Quiz the average punter and they would probably think it possible for Giant Drop not to slow down, and that Superman is powered directly by a big electric motor. Education and communication is the key to this issue in my opinion.

My suggestion was meant as both a sign & communication together, sorry that wasn't clear.

But all of that is not difficult to do either. In the information age, leaving your customers uninformed is bad for business.

Something like the airline pre-flight announcement? Just a simple sign. "In the event the ride stops unexpectedly, please remain calm and staff will update you as soon as possible. " I e-stopped on Paris Space Mountain, overshot the main brakes and ended up in the emergency brakes. Lights came on within a minute, brief announcement in English, French and Spanish, then we waited. Everyone was calm. Apparently a regular occurrence I found out later. I think the parks need to better inform the guests. "hi everyone, the computer wasn't 100% happy, so the ride was halted whilst we check everything out, you're perfectly safe".
