Green Lantern incident at MW

It actually does show the roof over Main Street if you look carefully. It's just see through on the map so you can see whats under it.

The map would be useless if Main St was covered with a big grey rectangle. How would you know what's under it?

I don't have the current day-to-day park map on me at the moment, but the FN Map from this year has the end of Main Street basically swapped out with the same graphic design from a few years ago, trees and all. Pretty sure the current maps actually show some form of transparent roof.

 

Also, Chinatown Alley is actually pretty much gone from the map. It just shows an empty, desolate alley. So, I kinda screwed up there...

They do have maps where the roof is a 'ghost' over the street, which is fine for general operations - but in FN where there are multiple attractions under the roof I can imagine it would be easier to not show it at all... i mean it's not like people are gonna look at the map and say 'nah this isn't the spot - this place has a roof over it!'

Good to see the Lantern is back on. The transition from lawn ornament back to El Loco is complete. Just in time for the crazy season.

GL closed. Cycling empty trains.

Apparently the break down today made the news?

Of course it did - they're hoping to scare people that it's "still broken".

 

the big question is whether it made the mnews?

[themagician]

Reports are saying that it did make the mnews

Channel 7 news just started on TV, in the headlines it had something about the Green Lantern breaking down again today and leaving people stranded. Will wait for the news story and see what the go is lol. But yeah, it has managed to make it into the media on a slow news day again... 

ETA: So it got stuck for an entire 5 minutes. Whoopee  Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. They got witness interviews and everything, hahaha. And of course they dug up all the drama from last year with it. Lame.

How was that even newsworthy???

Absolultey no one was in danger. Nothing more than a ride stoppage, a regular breakdown. Things that happen around a weekly basis on almost every single theme park on the planet.

Does anyone have a video of this? I want to see this!

[joz]

If you want to see a video of a stopped ride just look at a photo, they're very similar 

[R2GFifa]

I meant the news piece...

 'problem plagued' 

*Waits for gc bulletin's "riders face imminent death on killer theme park ride" article* 

[Santa07]

Oh for god's sake, the ride simply stopped at a block break, that's what the ride is meant to do if a fault is picked up. It did what it was meant to do, not what it wasn't meant to do.

[Reanimated35]

Maybe it would be a good idea for when any of us are at a park and a ride does a normal e-stop that we report it to media. By the time they'll show up, everything will be back to normal and they'll realise how stupid they are and how common stoppages are. 

[Bailz]

It's problem Plaugued, omg! It's a ride, it's going to make mistakes sometimes. If you going to care on about being stuck on a ride for 5 minutes your just whinging, at least your not stuck up their for 5 minutes. Did anyone get hurt? No, so why does it even make the news. I feel like the news are having a go at Movieworld. It's an awesome ride, if you going to be concerned for your safety don't go to Movieworld. There is safety measures in place to stop accidents happening, and they kicked in. I'm pretty sure you don't need witnesses for a ride stoppage. What are you going to say, oh the ride stopped at the top, and I had to walk all the way down. Yay, exercise! LOL

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

when I saw this topic last night, I was like "Oh shit not again..." only to find out it just broke down.. ?

[Bailz]

Yeah I just saw it then I'm like what the hell, then their just carrying on. It's like, you survived, be thankful!

Well, it is the news, where you see stupid shit that's designed to remind all of us that the world is a shitty place.

[bladex]

next they are going to report that scooby doo breaks down at least once a day!
