mejaybe Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 My girlfriend and I are driving to SFMM from the S.F. Bay Area this Friday. I see from some of the updates that "X" was closed, but is this only temporary or will it be down for a while because of the construction? We're hoping to ride it when we visit the park this Saturday. I would appreciate any info here. Thanks!
SonOfBeastSucks Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 It has been down for a while so it probably won't be back up by Saturday. Sorry!

mejaybe Posted October 20, 2005 Author Posted October 20, 2005 Not quite the answers I was looking for... but thanks for the replies none-the-less. Grrrrr... stupid Six Flags!
SpectralN Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 X is down for a while again. They took 3 weeks of repairs to get it back up and then it went back down with same problem on Friday. Looks like it we be another 3 weeks minimum.
SpectralN Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I saw the cranes today at magic mountain pulling the train from the valley point. Looks like it will take a good while, lots of people were watching, seemed like from a school or college class. Goliath had a 3 hour wait! At approx 3pm! INSANE.
SpectralN Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Why Did X valley 3 times in one month? What is causing this to happen?
4718 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Crapola-ness? I got no idea, maybe the sudden cooler weather......or the fact that it's October and evil spirits have taken over the sections where it keeps getting stuck.
FlyingScooter Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 ^...or maybe it's just tired. valleying three times in one month indicates a momentum/drag problem. perhaps bad bearings, bad bushings, bad luck. I doubt it's a momentum issue: Americans are not getting any skinnier, (except for Robb and his Techno-Color PatchCoat.)
4718 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Maybe a few bad wheels too, if they're cranked down too hard, the friction makes them heat up and have the polyurethane blow off.
