DC Rivals HyperCoaster train stuck mid-course
Dean Barnett replied to PoolGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
With all available evidence- I’ve come to my conclusion. Happy to be proven otherwise. They and other parks send trains around empty before opening or reopening the ride. Pretty SOP. -

I'd say they would need assistance to evac the train in the spot its in.. like they did with the other coaster that got stuck that day...and they would have probably posted a statement too... and the media would have ate it up like they did schoobs. Still not sure why everyone here has so many doubts about what I post on this forum. 😕 -

The ride valleyed because the winds were so high that the empty train lost too much energy to complete the circuit. This is 100% Movie World at fault. -

Maybe just don’t send empty trains around in high winds 🤷♂️ -
Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point "Closing"

My bad.. The actual end of the launch is here, before the brakes for the catch car. -

TTD's restraints were so much better. -

I don't think there's room for the queue to be anywhere else.. they could put a small flat in the area that's aready vacant. -

Throughput with 3 trains and a full circuit is bad enough and.. I don't think humans are made to launch that quickly backwards... although with LSM's its probably fine. -

Roughness is probably the train aging, but the launch is just so slow - whereas TTD really took your breath away. I'd actually prefer to go on Superman than Red Force. Just look at where the LSM's finish on Red Force Compared to where the cable launch on TTD ended -

I reckon they’re converting it to a magnetic launch of some kind. Really disappointing because Red Force was a super letdown. Also very rough. IMG_7326.MOV -

Yes I think that's reasonable - or let you go to Sea World for free on the same day to look at another SBNO coaster! Sending around a roller coaster around when the winds were too high wasn't my fault...

That’s great. I’m just pointing out that 4.5 major rides are closed today.
