lucazferrazCBMR Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 This seat that seems to be the hot topic, was it just that one end seat that had the possible clearance issues or was it the entire cabin that was at risk with taller riders? At this point, I should probably read through the thread, may answer several of my questions; I'm sure I'm missing some details. Just that end seat had the clearance issue. Hopi Hari usually do not operate all 5 sections. Normally they keep section 1 stoped up at the top of the tower. Don't really know why...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 This seat that seems to be the hot topic, was it just that one end seat that had the possible clearance issues or was it the entire cabin that was at risk with taller riders?

Hopi Hari usually do not operate all 5 sections. Normally they keep section 1 stoped up at the top of the tower. Don't really know why... Usually SFA kept car #2 stopped at the bottom with the carrier at the top. Looking at the video it appears that the locks on that particular harness were completely removed/disabled as it shouldn't be freely moving like that even when the car is at ground level ready for the next group of riders...with that in mind the victim in this case should've known something wasn't right the minute she sat down & attempted to pull down & lock the restraint.I would've simply gotten out of the seat & alerted the ops to the fact that the restraint didn't appear to be locking at all.
asimowalk Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) All off the videos I've seen covering the story are pretty creepy, despite not being able to understand what people are saying. I hope that Intamin is part of the investigation even if it isn't their fault. I think these tower rides have gotten a lot of bad publicity to the point where blatantly obvious modifications could be made to restore some confidence in riders. Also, on the topic about cars being out of service, I always thought they didn't use a car if wind was blowing into it. Edited April 27, 2012 by asimowalk

Coaster Cow Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Did anyone else face palm when they saw Speedy Gonzalez on an Italian pizza stand? Considering they SPEAK A LATIN LANGUAGE there, I would have assumed they understood it wasn't Italian
RFV94 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 @CoasterCow It was recently released on Brazilian television a new version of the Looney Tunes cartoon, and in this TV program, Speedy owns a pizzeria, as shown in the picture below: http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1618/tfr65ctmp.jpg

cfc Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Did anyone else face palm when they saw Speedy Gonzalez on an Italian pizza stand? Considering they SPEAK A LATIN LANGUAGE there, I would have assumed they understood it wasn't Italian If a Mexican mouse wants to sell pizza in a country where they speak Portuguese, he can do that.
theonetheonlyJT Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 As long as he is legal and that restaurant has a A+ rating.
Coaster Cow Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Well the face palm still stands, it's just not Hopi Hari's fault anymore.

technfxrick Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Does anyone know what the operating schedule is for this park, i am looking at going in Early December, which i thought would be there summer season. There is nothing on there calendar for November or December, is that because they haven't announced it, or because the park is closed?
HeitorAntunes Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 technfxrick, That's because they haven't announced it. This announce can happen in October, I think.
technfxrick Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks Heitor, Do they usually have weekday operation during December, or just weekend?
HeitorAntunes Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 technfxrick, I can't confirm for you this doubt, because the park has not released the December's schedule. But, I think - definitely -, that they will open on thursdays for sundays (or wednesdays for sundays). Check before! I hope I helped you. Good news: When you come here, the new area of the Justice League is already open. It will open in the end of October ("Thinkwell" is working on it)
