This doesn't make any sense at all. Are you saying that the ride could have just "magically" had some sort of problem that couldn't be traced back to any human or mechanical error??!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Seriously people. Are you all just TRYING to get quoted in the "dumbest thing posted to TPR" thread? Please tell me that is the case because it makes me lose sleep at night thinking people could actually be this stupid. No, not at all. Example of specific issues: restraint failure, inadequate weight, etc Example of issue harder to pinpoint: the front of the raft lifted up due

I think it all comes down to the findings of the investigation. If they are able to pinpoint a specific cause or failure (whether it be human error or mechanical/design error) and correct it, then it could reopen. "We found issue X and have corrected it, along with adding other safeguards." But if the investigation finds that just "something'' happened by pure chance, and combine that with the ride's well-known issues before initial opening, then I have a hard time seeing it opening again. "We're not entirely sure what happened, but we believe it's safe now."

They need a good steel and a dark ride BAD. I guess they listened Interesting reading from the beginning. Some of the parks aren't even around anymore or have been completely overhauled.

In all engineering, the is the FS variable. It's the Factor of Safety. This value is used to account for "unknown" variable forces and for redundancy. It also somewhat accounts for "human error" and discrepancies during construction. Whatever this value is determined to be (for example, it's often 6 for structural steel bridges), ALL forces are multiplied by it during design. I don't know what the FS is for slide/coaster design, but if part of the boat did indeed leave the track, it seems that either the initial forces were underestimated, or the FS was not high enough to account for variable

Before any of this expansion/new ride stuff happens, something major HAS TO be done about The Voyage. -

^ to me, it looks "permanent temporary". It's not on a trailer, and the ground appears it was graded level specifically for it.
