BeachsideThrills Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Â enjoy... Â The music alone would make me not want to support this cause... jk I fully support the removal of the OTS restraints, they're AWFUL. Next time, just... pick a better song... or no song at all...

I just thought it was funny. And I must say I agree with the lyrics!  The song may be crap, but the cause isn't! Revolution is rattling and falling apart as we speak, it must be restored!!! Onward, sir knights, let's convince MM to remove the OTS's! Charge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I stopped, after the date came up. Glad I am not the only one. I tried... But the song was just to much. I vote... Tear it down and build an aquatrax!!! (what it was bound to be said some time) In all seriousness though, I hope Revolution gets the TLC it needs, oh yes, and the removal of the OTSR's.

DBJ Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I remember for a long time (urban legend?) the reason for OTSR is that it is a CA regulation. Is that actually true though? While it would be nice to see a restoration of Revolution, really hope the money goes somewhere else. Unless they can do it on a reasonable budget, but generally I am hoping SFMM is thinking bigger, as a way to be competitive against Universal in 2016.

Mechanic Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 For the 8,000,000th time: OSHA has never mandated OTSR's on Revolution. Â I guess it's now the 8,000,001st time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFChris Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 What I've heard, which is probably as un-true as every other rumor, is that once a restraint is added to a ride in California, that restraint type can't be removed. Â I think the dippin dots guy told me that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I wish I cared enough to go through all the pages of this thread to count how many times I've had to explain the process for ride inspection/certification in California... Â Seriously though...There is no rule mandating OTSR's, nor is there any rule preventing them from making changes. The state basically just makes sure the modification is safe by ensuring all the paperwork and processes involving the changes (drawings, inspections, manufacturers approval, training, etc.) are correct.

JeromyL Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 ^^^^ thanks for setting us straight. Maybe by default you should just repost that once a week for the newbies  But joking aside. That makes perfect sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 ...be competitive against Universal in 2016. Â Â Edit - To clarify, Universal Hollywood in 2012 brought in 5.91 million guests. Magic Mountain brought in, what, 2.5 million or so? I haven't seen the 2013 numbers but I'm fairly certain they're similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMMGeek27 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Six Flags has finally learned! They opened the plaza at 10:00 with a single separate gold line that would allow entry at 10:20, with rope drop at 10:30. It worked flawlessly and a lot of people were taking advantage of getting lockers and Flash Passes early, etc. this is also going to be a permanent thing since the spiels at the front gate were updated for this. Â Also, Full Throttle is back to two trains and X2 is slowly getting its speakers back. Today was a nice quiet day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
