dj snow Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 How many trains does CR run at the same time? It says it can run 5, but I take they only run 4 at the time because of the dual station. It was running five trains this past Thursday. We left from the back position in the station, but returned to the front.

I always thought dual stations needed an even number of trains to operate properly...
SaweetDude04 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ^Top Thrill Dragster runs 5 trains with dual stations
paiging_jen Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ^I haven't seen that in AGES! I don't think that crew would know what to do with 5 trains and the dual station.
sixflagsgadvguy1000 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 What does it mean in the PARK INDEX that Cheetah Hunt is closed? It says that it is no longer in operation. This can't be true. What does that mean?
BeemerBoy Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ^ You hadn't heard? It's been hunted to extinction.
DJeXeL Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I always thought dual stations needed an even number of trains to operate properly... California Screamin' also runs 5 trains with dual stations. Odd trains means you come back at the opposite station you left on. Unless the ride has an unload of course.
orangeblue Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Both Cheetah Hunt and Sheikra were running 4 trains yesterday. A rogue power outage struck the park a little before 11AM and took Cheetah Hunt down for the rest of the day (or at least 5pm when I left). I was lucky enough to get my ride early, but anyone that got in line after park opening was probably out of luck. Sudden power outages seem to be difficult to recover from for roller coasters as they had to evacuate people from the midcourse breaks on Sheikra, and Montu was down for a while before they could get it working again. The power itself was only out for 20 minutes for 4/5 the park (Gwazi appeared to be running the entire time).
Skycoastin Steve Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ^A power outage is just about the worst thing that can happen to a coaster's computer system during operation. It's an automatic e-stop for the ride, and then when you switch it back on, it's going to be flipping out trying to catch back up. Especially with a ride like Cheetah Hunt that has so many proxy censors and moving parts, I imagine the computer room just about blew up.
sixflagsgadvguy1000 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ^ You hadn't heard? It's been hunted to extinction. ?, Seriously, why does it say it's closed in the PARK INDEX?
TPDave Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ^^ The ride is not listed as closed in the park index Dave

What does that mean? CONGRATUATIONS!!! YOU WIN THE "I ONLY POST REALLY STUPID QUESTIONS TO TPR AWARD!!!" Please claim your prize at the closed Cheetah Hunt. THANK YOU!
chasbron Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I went on Friday and can I say Robb you are completely correct! Cheetah Hunt is worth it!!!! (Not that I wouldn't ride it even though it's only 45 min from my house) I rode in the front with a friend; LOVED IT!!! For me, it's up there with Kumba. Now, if you'll excuse me I get to go get my wisdom teeth pulled. (yep all four of them)

I can't wait to get to "the Busch."
chargersmichael Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I really do think that there will b a water ride next for Busch Gardens Hopefully it's a good thrilling one. They've been making a lot of childish additions like Jungala, Sesame Street, Cheetah Hunt...48 inch kids can ride so hopefully...if they make a water ride...it will be good and 48 inches so it can b thrilling! Tidal Wave should be like a 36 in not 48 haha
chasbron Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 In case anyone needs to know, going on Cheetah Hunt sure beats getting Wisdom Teeth forcibly yanked (Ow) out of your head! No really, if you're in florida, go to BGT!!!
Inukaza Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 They've been making a lot of childish additions like Jungala, Sesame Street, Cheetah Hunt...48 inch kids can ride so hopefully. I. Must. Bitchslap this member in which I disagree with. Just because kids can ride does not make it a childish ride. You can't compare Air Grover (Sesame Street) with Cheetah Hunt. That's too far of a stretch.
chargersmichael Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 ^ I didn't mean it like that. I just thought that it would be a 52 inch or 54 inch ride. Sorry! Cheetah Hunt was amazing but it could've been better if it was faster, do you not agree? They probably did that so more KIDS can ride. That's all I meant. Not like Cheetah Hunt is a baby ride. Are you crazy?
crazywolf88 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 El Toro's hight limit is 48 inches, does that make it a bad ride.
jjune4991 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Yes. It's a kids ride because lots of kids can ride it.
chargersmichael Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I didn't say Cheetah Hunt was a bad ride! OMFG! You know what I meant!!! God! Sorry for pointing out a opinion. Good lord. People are harsh.

Are you crazy? How is that a bad thing again? A family coaster that kids can ride with adults that looks fun and has a few inversions? The ride looks perfectly fine the way it is.

People are just giving you a hard time, but your heated reaction gives further ammunition for people to play with you. People have a certain sense of humor at TPR and while we welcome you here, we do warn that if that kind of humor isn't your cup of tea, this might not be the place for you. That being said, let's continue to keep things friendly and level. Opinions are fine, but arguments over whether this coaster is a family ride or a thrill ride don't need to get heated. Remember, we're talking about theme parks here! These things are supposed to be fun!
