The "GP" of Theme Parks Facebook Thread!

No they are just "dumb"...lol. -
Disrupted by howling themepark guests....really? Sorry but no, not likely and that seems really petty on their part and if these people are that distracted by the howling then they need another job. I would love to have monitors and speakers installed in every office, hall, room, everywhere in that building, turn the volume up all the way and loop the newest commercial for them...all day, THAT is distracting!

Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

Forget the coaster, I want that water jet pack thing! -
If it is one winch system for all of the cabins then how do you explain the fact that they all ascend at different speeds? If one system lifted them all at the same time they would all be lifted at the same rate. I think what makes more sense is each cabin has its own lift system and when the ride starts they all start lifting at the same time. Drop Tower at CGA is a perfect example of this, if you watch the cabins go up they are always going up at different speeds, they never all reach the top at the same time. In fact in the video you posted, the cabin on the left is slightly ahead of the other one, so they are each being lifted by their own winch but they start lifting at the same time. And also, when one cabin is out of service, like at CGA all the time, that winch does not constantly go up and down with all the others when it runs, it just sits at the top or bottom, which means they are all independant of each other but start lifting at the same time and once all of the cabins reach the top, after the delay, they are all released at the same time.
