Welcome to TPR! This thread might answer some of your questions.
-
"Run it until it valleys" is somewhere in the training curriculum for Nitro's operators.

I found these pretty funny and thought I'd weigh in on the Carnival hatred.

We've been there when we had to park in the grass in the overflow lot and I'm sure the waterpark was a mob scene. The waits for Hydra and Talon were insane that day too... We probably waited almost 3 minutes for them.

That DROP!!!

OMG the backseat airtime on that will be epic....

I'm not sure what you mean. Wishes is 13 minutes and the new Disneyland Fireworks are just shy of 15 minutes. Also remember that Wishes throws up a TON of huge pyro in the air, shells that Disneyland aren't even allowed to use because of being in the middle of Anaheim, and those are expensive! But as far as the length of the two shows goes, they are very similar.
Good points. No idea why I thought "Forever" was longer than Wishes.

Yea I'll definitely keep the Polynesian in mind when my fiancé and I go back in October for Food & Wine. I did notice however that MK's fireworks show is about 10 minutes shorter than DLR's. I wonder what the reasoning is for that. Also, Illuminations at Epcot is f*cking amazing! Was really impressed by the finale. Too bad LuminAria @ DCA was doomed from the beginning.

I love how BGW operated BBW while it was snowing but SFMM won't run ninja if it's less than 60 degrees.....
-
Vortex @ CGA. It's horrid.

Wow! Looks like one hell of a show. Saw the gridlocked freeways and toll plazas yesterday and it looked miserable. Watching from the Polynesian definitely looked like the better way to view the show. Thanks for sharing.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I personally found Sheikra to be a lot better than Griffon.

XC isn't that big of a deal cause the 2nd train doesn't do much for capacity and the ride is more reliable with 1. SB with 1 train sucks. Glad to hear they have both operating.
-
Bullet clearly has 1 train operation still. Does XC still only have 1 train?
-
^^That clip fits in so many discussions.
-
If by that, you mean another website took what someone posted on their forum as a "source"...sure
Figured as much. Thanks for clarifying.
-
Anyone else heard rumors of The Mummy closing to make room for a lower lot expansion?
-
I really need to make a trip down there. Last time I visited was when Green Lantern opened!
Shame on you.

B&M stopped using photoeyes on their lifts probably for that exact reason.
I don't think B&M ever used photo eyes on their lift hills. They've stopped using photo eyes entirely as a part of their control systems too. I'm really not sure why SF is still using them, let alone using them on lift hills, which is very uncommon. They use photo eyes at every block still, too.
B&M used photoeyes on their lift hills. I know this for a fact. Scream has a couple at the top of its lift as does Silver Bullet at Knott's. You're correct though that they stopped using them.

I wonder if all these issues TC is experiencing are programming related or mechanical.

Switching to Friday will be the better plan for SFMM. DLR doesn't close for rain. Sunday doesn't look like a bad day for SFMM either....
