Still a lift nonetheless.............. Moving along.......glad to see it's testing.

^I hear what you're saying and unfortunately these scenarios can and do happen to any park. The rides not opening with the park lies on the park I agree. One thing to keep in mind is that when Space, BTM, Matterhorn or Screamin'' go down throughout the day, 75% of the time it's caused by a slow moving guest.

B&M were engineers for Giovanola.

It has a lift. ONLY launched B&M in existence is Incredible Hulk @ IOA

^As quick as molasses in February.

This is great news!! Looking forward to what Matt will bring to the table.

You're really comparing 1 day at Disney to a train rehab that took 4 1/2 months on a coaster??? Now granted it is better to have the ride open with 1 train than not open at all HOWEVER the planning should be as such that 1 train operation doesn't happen at all.

^ Yes like lack of planning. In all seriousness though there's something to be said for purchasing extra trains so capacity is not affected while vehicles are undergoing annual maintenance. Busch has 4 trains for Montu, and Kumba so there's always 1 train being worked on yet the ride can still run at full capacity. California Screamin' has 7 trains so technically 2 trains can be in rehab at a time and the ride can still run 5 trains. Granted I don't work for Six Flags so can't say for sure what the delay was but based on previous years just looks like the usual poor planning and lack of maintenance budget.

^^Looks to be at least 6 cables attached to carriage so the likelihood of all those cables failing is nearly impossible. Still scary to think about.... Source: Flickr

^^Could also be Acclaim Lighting as well. Either way looks spectacular. ^Seeking too much wind can be dangerous

^Love it! Squirrel!!

To be fair, sometimes it doesn't even cooperate when the park opens so "early" may not be an option either........

Condors are easily Huss' best creations. Too bad they are an endangered species. Hershey Park's was running great when I rode it back in '09. Images from FlatRides.com

Pretty impressive. Can't wait to ride KBF's Windseeker.

If IW is anything like Vortex @ CGA, SFA shouldn't even bother having a media day for it.

^All bumper cars that I've ridden have said sign in multiple locations. Not to mention most (not all but most) operators say "no head-on collisions" in their spiel prior to starting the ride. All parks don't do this I'm sure but the majority do.

This opens up the door for many MORE frivolous lawsuits. Next will be some tool suing a park because they went upside down on a coaster and got a headache along with the usual "pain and suffering."

Another mysterious "resignation".........

Looking good! Source: KBF Twitter

Another Euro-Fighter anyone???

My bad if this has been posted already but It's pretty hilarious....

Best "park" food I've had has all been at Busch parks. (Sea Worlds included)

Well said Robb. I'm happy the manufacturers and parks take the extra time needed to make sure everything is operating as intended. Not to mention if you go to the park and the ride's closed that's more of a reason to visit the park again.

Oh yes I did forget that one.......

This is Moser's largest tower they've built to date correct?
