switch_79 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 hey folks. i was just browsing wikipedia today for random information when i decided to see what the self-proclaimed experts had to say about TTD. you can read for yourselves here (tasty), or just read the part that grabbed my attention: Various factors such as wind speed can prevent the train from reaching the top of the tower after the launch. The train can sometimes stall and roll backwards down the tower... On Sunday, July 24, 2005, a train stopped directly at the top of the tower for nearly three minutes. An elevator on the tower took a ride operator to the top to push the train by hand, and video of this event has become popular on roller coaster websites. wait a sec... it has? then how come i can't find it?? i tried CF, not a word. tried here, but then i reminded myself.. what are the odds robb and elissa were there to capture the moment? perhaps a little higher than the average joe, and yet... nada. i'd be delighted to track this footage down. can anyone point me in the right direction? danke. -h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterlover420 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Since the ride got stuck on the top, you'd think they don't want to share that with everybody. That would scare people away and they'd lose buisness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I've seen a video of this somewhere, I just can't quite remeber. I think I found the link on one of Screamscape's older News & Rumors. ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
