Erik Johnson Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Maybe they had an emergency-stop during the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Maybe Robb heard a rumor on a coaster forum that your legs will fly off if you ride an S&S Tower in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Could this be basically it? Or something similar? Second post down...

robbalvey Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yeah, that's what happened to us. It wasn't that big of a deal, but it sure took us by surprise! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 ^^ Ding Ding Ding! Once again the Europeans have shown up us stupid Americans! It was a ride where the air tanks don't charge right and as you get to the top it just drops all of a sudden! It's really scary if you've been on Turbo Drops before cause that's NOT what normally happens. You drop right to the bottom, no bounces or anything. Really creepy.

Louise Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I hardly think this says anything about European vs American intelligence, it just proves how bored I am that I could be bothered to go to the search function which nobody else could! Can't sleep tonight so have a lot of free time on my hands, that's all! *bows modestly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterguy618 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I would be terrified if that ever hapened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrewed Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I guess it's cuz I've worked the ride before, so something like that wouldn't really scare me. Leave me confused, maybe, but not scare me. But yeah, "slipping" does happen enough times to call it "routine." Part of the problem is that Supreme Scream has three towers but two tanks. They never have bothered to get the third one back online. So if you send all three up too closer to each other a few times, you're bound to have that happen. And sometimes, the tanks just plain fail to build enough pressure. It's "normal" and nothing serious. Just a glitch that happens once in a while. We'd usually send riders up again, and if it slipped a second time, shuffle them to another tower and then call maintanence to clear the tower. S&S towers are ridiculously safe. So many safety backups... it's practically impossible for them to incur mechanical failure that results in rider injury and stuff.

IceDragon Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 this happened to me, not there though. if you have ridden Detonator (TP),then you know you get a 25/30mph shunt downwards. when we went on it, we heard a massive 'klunk' that sounded like something went wrong, the Ride Ateendant screamed down the mic saying 'youre gonna die!!!!' (i think it was because it was halloween not sure though) then we heard the air being let out manually below, started panicking and were then, without warning, bossted down around 40/45mph (they had a speed camera or something pointing at the top, and it caught us doing 45mph). we had done the ride half an hour before hand, with the after effects still occurring, but this was beyond scary. we were told at the bottom that if it were going any faster, we would've died due to the brakes not being to secure, which was what the kerchunk was. the Ride Attendant had panicked when the brakes made that noise, screamed into the mic for help, but he/she didnt hit the emergency stop button, which would've lowered us down at about 10mph. scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Coasters! Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for reminding me about that day when that happened to me on Supreme Scream. It's such a weird feeling falling and not realizing that you're actually freefalling on the ride. I guess the Alvey's survived it and can proudly add my name next to them! !!!!!VIVA DROP TOWERS!!!!!
