Looks to be part of the lift structure that fell which in turn damaged the structure below. In any case, I'm sure RMC is already working on a "Plan B."
^Agreed. Yea sure RMC will ship 4 trains and the park will operate all 4 trains for opening summer. (I'm being optimistic, I know)
Then the 4th train will quickly become a parts donor and then there will always be a train in rehab so that takes it down to 2 trains around September 2015......
I sure hope I am wrong, though.
^Yea, sucks I had to resort to Wiki. Is there any site you would recommend that is the RCDB of flat rides? Other than FlatRides.com as they don't have Free Falls on there.
Sadly, Demon Drop is the only 1st generation left in the US, you're correct.
There are 4 others still in operation according to Wikipedia:
Torre do Terror @ Beto Carrero World, 2 in Japan, and Holloywood Action Tower @ Movie Studios Park, Italy.
