  1. What ride are you going to be on, if you don't mind us asking.
  2. I would look more to the lawsuit filed in Lake County Ohio in which the Gyms sued to be able to open, rather than the items you quoted. The ruling happened very quickly and favorably for the gyms.
  3. Luckily that's for them to decide and not you.
  4. I know, I'm saying when the motor is pulling the gondola through the brake portion, it is exerting a higher load, hence why it speeds up when it gets through the brakes.
  5. I had originally thought of replying to him, but I was thinking he was saying that it required more energy to pull through the magnets, but I also may have misread.,
  6. Good news, they don't have to worry about it anymore, because they installed a different electrical grid.
  7. I could see the potential of the ride operator walking down, asking the guests to pull on their seatbelt for them and then pull on the restraint. It is a confirmation that the restraint is actively working. It's a safety item. I seem to recall Disney asking me to push down and pull up on a restraint at one point as well when I was there recently. Most rides don't even monitor the restraints, on an individual basis. The B&Ms do, as does Delirium. I think that's it.
  8. Businesses aren't currently required to close for 14 days if they have an employee test positive. Most likely what will happen is the employee will have to be off for 14 days, have at a minimum one and probably two negative COVID-19 tests before returning to work. Big Ash Brewing is literally under 5 minutes from my house. They are requiring all employees to be tested. It would be impossible for them to find everyone that person had contact with and it's a HIPAA violation to say their name, so hopefully they didn't transmit to anyone else. They likely would require everyone everyone on that team that works with this individual to take a test as well. Ultimately, it's going to fall on guests/customers to determine if the risk is worth the reward. You are seeing that in general. The Skyline I visit every Thursday for lunch at work has been empty the past two weeks, when it's generally at capacity at lunch time.
  9. If ODOT was in charge of coaster inspections, there would be pot holes in every ride at KI.
  10. CDC has changed it's guidelines on surfaces... will be something to monitor. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/cdc-coronavirus-mainly-spreads-through-persontoperson-contact-and-does-not-spread-easily-on-contaminated-surfaces-153317029.html
  11. I would assume that KI has been given some sort of timeline when they can re-open, based on the fact that Orion has been running again, I've seen WindSeeker up in the air in the morning.
  12. The park trying to staff from 8 am to midnight would be a nightmare. When I went to Disneyland last summer, they were open from 8 am until midnight, that was a LONG day.
  13. I would argue the queue rails probably have never been "sanitized". The trains probably weren't disinfected regularly either.
  14. Son of Beast was a very mediocre ride. Steel Dragon 2000 is not boring. It's like Millennium Force and Magnum had a baby. It's a great ride. I've ridden it.
  15. It actually stopped in the MCBR every morning when you are running start ups as well.
  16. There are actually not a lot of areas to go into that require LOTO. When I worked at the park, most employees did not go through LOTO training, it's something generally reserved for your best employees and Supervisors. They will not shut down a ride in order to retrieve an item, unless it's medically necessary. They would look for it at the end of the shift or the next morning. They also, in the past, required a Water Sentry to be working at each water ride, effectively it was a step toward being a lifeguard in case anything happened.
  17. Canada is very protective it's workforce. My former company bought a lot of equipment from Canada. If you had a screwdriver in your car and you didn't have a work visa with you, they'd search your entire car at the border, it was insane.
  18. Loved working that ride. It was always fun. It's a big favorite of mine. It's pretty thrilling for what it is.
  19. They absolutely do. If they didn't you'd see more resale rides on the market. This is why it was cheaper to scrap Vortex and Firehawk than to sell them. Look at what Coney Island is selling their rides for vs. what they likely cost new.
  20. I think the funny thing in that article it says that he thinks coasters will travel the outside of loops in the future. Just 5 years later, the first Batman: The Ride opened.
  21. Hard to say. I'm guessing it's a primer.
  22. The park will open, as long as laws allow it. Even if it is in August.
  23. I totally forgot about Windjammer, Just watched the POV it looked boring and having just rode the Roller Coaster at New York New York, I can say I have no interest in riding any other Togo coasters again. Those restraints are BRUTAL.
  24. I would have been totally surprised if they painted them again.
