Accident at Lakeside

[ScOtT k]

"A representative from the Denver amusement park said that the Cyclone RollerCoaster stopped Sunday while passengers were on the ride. Witnesses say a wheel started sparking on the ride before it came to a stop.

 

Park employees and rescue crews were able to harness passengers on the ride and pull them down safely. No one was injured during the process but many passengers were frightened.

 

There is no word on when the roller coaster might be running again."

Seems like there's been a lot more accidents this year than in previous years... glad to hear everyone was taken off safely.

At least no one was hurt.

All I can say is LACK of lube. This is exacty what happened to the Red Train last month.

I heard about this at work tonight. That sucks. I wanted to make another trip to the park this week.

 

Any idea what exactly happened? What happened with the red train last time?

[Flyingcoasterfreak]

Red Train Stalled due to lack of lube on car 3 left front and right rear wheels.

 

Red train was running 4 cars. (can't say why).

 

Based on what I was told / saw / witnessed it's a lube issue. It may be something else. It's too early to tell.

Lakeside should hit up Costco then and stock up on the KY. It'll probably save them money in the long run.

Does anybody know if Cyclone has opened back up yet?
