I of course meant painted their cosmetic colour (i.e. To give away the theming). You knew what I meant, but thanks for the lesson.

What's the advantage of leaving the washers or nuts on? May as well be ready for install. None of these things are strange if you're familiar with this kind of construction. Same as painting the bolts. You wouldn't paint a thread before you secure the nuts. You're just going to take the paint off and also cause more grief when placing the nuts.

This isn't a topic of when did it stop going higher, it's a matter of why doesn't it go higher now. Youll note Magic Mountains ride was also falling short. Investments were made to rejuvenate the ride to get it running at its peak (think of an old car needing upgrades). But speeding up the ride for DW is not an option as mentioned above. Also let me tell you turning the car around and running it backwards will give you a far greater ROI than saying 'hey it's going a bit higher again now' Cause outside of this little group hardly anyone would care.

I don't want to make any sort of personal commentary on this however I do need to say the like "if they are well enough to be in shows they can be released into the wild" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. It shows these people who claim to have the best interests of these animals as their concern really know little to nothing about them.

Not actually this at all. Australian regs prevent the car going any higher due to the g forces involved in the backwards launch. This is not a problem in the USA which is why you see Superman going higher.

*rushes off the get the ruler

Nah village green kinda ended at Avalanche because once you went down under the tunnel that is still there today it was Gum Tree Gully followed by Rivertown.

This thread makes my brain hurt. With the source now posted there's no real reason to leave it open. If you two want to continue to bicker then take it to PMs cause I'm pretty sure you're the only two reading your posts anyway.

So many incidents with these Chinese and Indian knock off rides, it's really scary.

Lol funny. But come on guys you all know if there's gonna be a real scoop you're gonna see it on Theme Parks A Go-Go before anywhere else.

Safe to say from the number of footings that all those things are correct. Well cept maybe speed.

Yeah I agree with AlexB **fucking woah hold the phone!!** I don't think a higher price would really affect in park spend per head. If you're going you're going, you've already forgot about that extra couple $s a month you've paid to get in and you're still hungry. There's no pass outs so many people are going to eat, and I'm certainly still going to drink. It has been shown on overcrowded days F&B spend goes down simply because people can't get into the outlet/don't wanna wait. If it's quieter over more nights you may well then capture all the sales of those people that 'didn't bother' because it was too busy. There's certainly a fine line tipping point between lack of revenue due to low numbers and lack of revenue due to overcrowding.

Footer = silly sepo speak This is all assuming the ride even has a loop, if it's true hyper may well not have inversions at all! The area you're talking about AlexB, is that where we assume this thing is going to have to turn around and head for home?

Well because you should feel safe going to a park and assuming that anything that happens is perfectly normal. We've been doing it for decades, what I more puzzling is why in the last couple years it's all "omg the sky is falling" when your carriage stops. Hell I remember we just used to laugh when you stopped, you knew it wasn't the regular operation of the ride and it was just funny that it happened.

Yeah agajn, not everyone knows that so it just makes the forum look like a nasty fest. Sarcasm doesn't really work on the net so keep it nice kids

Umm no real need for the snappy smart ass responses. Not everyone knows who's joking and when.

It's simple. Everything is a stoppage. There is no such thing as a Break Down on a ride unless something catastrophic happens because the rides stop before there is a failure of components. So everything is a stoppage. Whether it be for a minute or an hour. Everytime a ride stops it's 'normal'. It's working as intended. You just didn't get to complete the ride.

Yeah I'm in the don't get it camp also. Its just a shop that sells stuff you can buy anywhere and even online. Sure it's painted yellow and had Lego on the front but to line up for hours? Bout as mental as lining up all night at the Apple Store. Again just a shop, cept painted white

That's good to know. My who/what question wasn't rhetorical, I genuinely want to know.

What do you think lifts you to the top?

It's on in about 5 mins

Best chance of rollback is for a very light train (or empty) to be launched before you and you be in a very heavy train. Especially on a cold day or the start of the day. The launch system measures each trains speed and adjusts the launch power through the day based on the historical data, so if you have a train that is suddenly very heavy with cold bearings and wheels then it might not make it. Much less likely on superman as the top hat isn't very high.

In today's climate taking the risk and liability on in manufacturing you're own chemicals far outweighs and savings.

Woah no at this!!! any chemical that is atomized and breathed in by people should never be knocked up on ones own. Extensive testing and chemical controls go into something that may seem a trivial as smoke fluid.

Disney are easily the best at this IMO because it's such a polished routine. Almost immediately a spiel will occur to let you know all is good and to remain seated. Straight after work lights will come on. And quickly after this attendants will come to tend to you, either by sending you on your way (say space mountain) or taking you out of the attraction. I also thing what helps a lot that's it's the regular CMs doing all this. Makes it feel a lot more 'normal' than mechanics showing up. The other thing they do is extensive PA announcements throughout the attraction describing everything that is happening step by step, so everyone is aware what is happening and not sitting 'stuck in fear'. I mean is anyone surprised though? Disney are the best at everything they do.
