Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread
DJeXeL replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Oh don't get me wrong, my hats off to them for trying. I'm all for new things. World's first backward B&M. Also it would seem B&M would have to be involved in this "experiment" as I would assume some modified parts would be needed to turn the seats around. Then again, I'm no mechanic or engineer. -

This "incident" was not newsworthy by any means. However, I do wonder why Mr. freeze @ SFSTL doesn't have the 2 catwalks that Mr. Freeze at SFOT has on the valley sections of the ride. -
^For the guests that have the "wheelchair" access pass they will get a return time (if they request) because in DCA that pass only gets them into the stand-by line as all queues in DCA are wheelchair accessible. In Disneyland that pass benefits them differently as not all queues are wheelchair accessible. I do agree with you that it is a shame that RSR's Fastpass times out so quickly that most guests are not given a fair chance at getting them. I have absolutely no sympathy for the passholders that show up at the park at 6pm wanting to get a Fastpass but I do however feel sorry for the families that show up at 10am and Fastpasses are already booked out.

^^Exactly. Stand-By is exactly that, Stand-By. Same way it would be with a concert of flight as you stated. Chrisrad I do understand that is seems as if Stand-By gets the shaft but Fastpass does take priority bottom line. In regards to the Guest Assistance Cards, I do agree with you that there are people that do abuse the system however guest relations is pretty strict on giving them out. Also, just because someone seems "OK" doesn't mean they don't have an underlying issue.

Coaster "Mechanisms"
DJeXeL replied to adrielege's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^Yes there is most likely a buss-bar in the station that charges the batteries/capacitors while train is loading/unloading. Since they are most likely LED bulbs, they will have extremely low power consumption so a battery will be able to run them for an entire operating day without a charge. -

Those devices keep the anti-rollbacks and chain dogs On the underside of the train from puncturing the drive tires. -
