Batman At SFGAm is an invert with a catwalk on one side of the lift. All B&M inverts and flyers have Lift Unload Platforms (LUP). Anytime a train needs to be emergency unloaded, usually a member of maintenance will operate the LUP. Maintenance and members of management (supervisors/full-tim) will assist the guests off the train, onto to the LUP, and onto the catwalk. Then, depending on the park and emergency procedures, two employees will then escort a portion of the unloaded train back to the station (usually one or two rows). On a side note, climbing the lifts/catwalks can be a lot of fun.

Cedar Point will be adding treese next year! However, they are going to make them so they don't have to be maintained. Just apply a fresh coat of paint every spring to make them look like new. Seriously, it's probably for an overhaul of Meanstreak.

I only see the first video. Internet Explorer 7

Coaster trains run faster when they have guests on them.

Each coaster/flat ride is required to be tested each year. In order for each ride to get a permit to operate, the state requires each coaster train/flat ride unit be cycled a minimum number of times.

^ Maybe Jack Nicholson will do some recording for Six Flags!

Well then, put up the money and build one!

I guess they had a problem installing the next section of track.

Despite the girl dieing, I don't feel sorry for them. They caused her death by doing something stupid. It serves them right.

SFOG is getting Thomas Town in place of DejaVu, not a mack mouse. Dang. Nevermind. I don't follow those stories that much, anyway. I've been focusing around DL recently for the rumored Indoor themed Spinning Coaster and Huss Giant Frisbee and Seabreeze's Himalaya from WWW is under construction. EDIT: Fixed. The Dark Night coaster at SFGAm is going next Superman and using Theater Royale at the queue. DeJa Vu is being removed for future park additions (maybe 2009).

China is also hosting the 2008 summer olympics. That will draw tourists to their amusement parks.

Worlds Of Fun and Canada's Wonderland each have a boomerang.

Six Flags Great America this Saturday. King's Island next week Saturday.

The wheel covers are currently on one of the trains. The second train should have theirs on within a few weeks. With the Eagle and Viper lap bars. If the row is empty, they can remain up. If one or two people are in the row, both must be pushed down. Our employees are great. Lots of them are energetic and have a great time. Although, at times there are a few flaky ones, but those come with every job.

Renegade is looking SWEET!!! I really can't wait for July. Some of those turns look insanely awesome.

Well then, you clearly missed the Vu shirts in Flags. I got a Raging Bull shirt there last year.

I think they need to add a few more flats. There are many improvements that should be made, before we even consider discussing what the next coaster will be.

Man, I can't wait for Coaster Craze in July. The ERT on Renegade is going to be sweet!

When it arrives, are you going to put it on the magazine rack in the bathroom, right next to the Playboy?

I really miss Shockwave at Six Flags Great America

Each ride is designed to operate in different weather conditions. Most coasters have restrictions on how many trains a coaster can operate with, in certain types of rain. Some coasters and flats rides are not to be operated when the wind exceeds a certain speed. Now, some coasters, when operated in high winds, have the tendency to valley out on the ride course. As a ride operator, we are required to know what type of weather conditions our rides can operate in. The weather is closely monitored by ride supervisors and full-time. If the weather gets bad, they will inform certain rides to discontinue operation. Keep in mind, the ride manufacturer determines what weather each ride operates in. The park and its ride operators are following the Standard Operating Procedures set forth by the manufacturer.

Is there any reason why a bunch of the kids in the front of the line had their skateboards? Other than the ride being themed to Tony Hawk.

I rode Shockwave at SFGAm 27 times in a row.

^ Nope. It is still there. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is still for sale.

if you take a look at this picture, you can see the braking zone. If you take a close look at the braking zone, you will notice that one section is longer than the other. Now, I can't tell you why one is longer than the other. However, this is what I think. My guess is that having one longer than the other, will give the car a more gradual slow down (even though you can't feel it). This in return will allow for a less "sudden" slow down on the decent.
