Meanwhile MagnumXL is sinking....

^Schools are closed today.
Update: The Mickey & Friends Parking Structure as well as the Toy Story Lot have since reopened.

Because the trains are a newer generation, they have different specs. They weigh different amounts, have different wheel assemblies, and are shaped more aerodynamically. It probably won't make a huge difference in the ride, but it could throw the computer off if one train is significantly quicker than the other. Switching up the wheel compounds could be a temporary solution until 2 new trains are here.
It shouldn't matter if the trains travel different speeds though. The computer is concerned about times or speeds within a certain range depending if the train is over or under speed. But the timing between the two trains differing shouldn't be a factor. If that was true than anytime you sent an empty train after a full one the ride would error. Coasters run trains with different wheels, therefore different speeds all the time. I don't see why this one would be any different.
Timing is everything. PLCs monitors how long a train is in a zone otherwise a "timeout" occurs. "Timeouts" and "overspeeds" can be an issue.

Slightly busy at the parks.....

Might want to call B&M and let them know! Quick!
-
Hopefully this doesn't mean they're going to whore themselves out like some other park operators we know.....
-
Hopefully it's like Jet Rescue @ SW Queensland which I've heard is a hell of a lot of fun.
-
^Exactly. GR will most likely use the standard steel wheels.

Why do the photos not show on Tapatalk?
This is why I stopped using Tapatalk. It works for the most part but little nagging issues like that caused me to stop using it.

The amount of pain this ride subjects to the groin area is ridiculous. I just don't understand the appeal of this ride.
It would be a really fun ride if you were sitting down rather than standing.
This. Just this.

1 - I do not have a 4K TV
6 - Not important at all
7 - 4K is the more important feature. 3D is a gimmick I've never been interested in.

I really, REALLY want to be more excited about this as Ghostrider is one of my all-time favorite rides and I would like more than anything for it to be back to how it was on December 8th, 1998. But I'm not sure if this is going to fix it long-term, fix it short term, or change the feel of the ride to the point where it's not as forceful as it once was.
Same here. We will just have to enjoy it.........while it lasts.

^Dude, Allan Schilke is a mad man! He probably added crazy stuff like that just to mess with coaster enthusiasts minds!
True story.

I feel like Universal is getting ruined. First they have the idiotic idea of removing most of the theming on dueling dragons when 're theming' it, then they remove disaster, and replace it with a Jimmy Falon ride, then they remove twister.
I love how you cherry pick these 3 things (at least one of which is very debatable... especially when we're talking about rides that aren't open yet) and then ignore the fact that during the same time frame they built a really cool Simpsons land, an awesome Transformers ride and 2 of the most amazing themed lands and ride experiences anywhere in the world anchored by 2 of the most incredible rides ever built anywhere ever with Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, Gringots and Forbidden Journey. How can you ignore all of that and claim that Universal is "getting ruined" because they removed 2 crappy rides in Disaster and Twister?
I'm not even sure he knows what he's complaining about.

I suspect the movement of the stage is part of longer term plans.
Agreed.
-
All mighty word filter.
-
When they say the MCBR will be removed, I assume they mean turned off, since it needs to still be there to run 3 trains.
But this is GREAT news! Can't wait to ride it.
They haven't said that 3 trains will be ran have they?
I can't even remember the last time I saw 3 trains running on GhostRider.Opening year.
-
Those are fantastic!
-
That's hilarious. Cleaning that egg off the train must have been grueling.
-
Excellent photos as usual!
-
A lot of people have actually said it is better than WMG @ CW.

Fair enough. While I think Reef is "OK," I do think it could've/should've "been more" however CF got what they were willing to pay for.

Definitely a possibility I was being sarcastic........
