^As a vinyl collector myself, I must say I am jealous.

Sad to hear indeed and my prayers are with the family. Intamin hydraulic restraints (As well as 99.99% of other restraints) have redundant locking mechanisms. You can see in the picture that there's 2 independent, hydraulic cylinders. Intamin uses this hydraulic restraint system on most of the their coasters. CA Screamin' is 1 exception as it uses a quad-ratchet and pawl design. Source I'll be interested to hear what the investigation reveals.

B&M only uses the vertical style brake fin on Dive coasters for some reason.

^Exactly. It has been said a million times. Parks buy from whatever vendor meets their requirements and provides competitive pricing, which Intamin does. Premier and Intamin have launched coasters down to a science. Yes, Zierer is getting into the launch game but not nearly as popular as the aforementioned companies.

Agreed. Shockwave is better than both, Vortex @ CGA and Mantis. I'm a CP fanboy but Mantis is crap.

Agreed. As a ride operator, I HATE the word "STUCK."

^^No one cares about Darien Lake the way you do.

Happens on Goofy's Sky School @ DCA as well. Could be a number of things. Guest issue in the station, operator inefficiency, lap bar issue etc...

^Just curious where you got those figures.

^LOL. A ControlLogix upgrade would be nice but I can only imagine the cost that would be incurred.

Looks like Phantom's Revenge is getting some software tweaks.....

NTAG should be 1st and then Mr. Freeze shortly thereafter.

^^ That's more than the Windseeker riders @ KBF got! Very nice of the park to offer that much compensation, if that indeed is true.

^^I feel like I've seen that drawing pop up in a few threads.....

^ We are aware.

They wanted to visit the park as a family, and now they are spending time in jail......as a family.

While I do agree (And Hope) that an RMC creation of some sort is coming to the mountain, nothing is truly "confirmed" until the press release from the park.

"Maintenance/Manual mode" will get you in trouble if you don't know what you're doing.

Definitely a clue!

^That's not saying much.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! For the 395,588,145th time, if the park wants to install something, they will make room without buying additional land as that isn't even an option.

Ride in the back on an empty train and you'll definitely feel what I like to call the "Intamin Shuffle." Still a fantastic ride nonetheless.

^Maybe she is hoping that Iron Colossus happens so he will find a new ride to get 20k+ rides on....... I know the lead you're referring to personally. HaHa
