I was just watching the webcam and noticed they put a train in the shed, anyone have any ideas as to why?

Perhaps the demand wasn't there given the fact that it is a holiday after all.

but you would think the park would be super swaped.

slip through magnetic brakes?

i see that unlikely

Magnetic brakes can only slow a train, not completely stop it. The brakes the press against the fins on the bottoms of the trains (and operate with compressed air) actually stop the trains.

Edit:

..There are only magnetic brakes on the trim(I think) and the final brake run.

The trim brake isn't magnetic. It is a skid brake (or whatever the ones with the air compressor pushing the two sides together). You can tell because you hear the *whoooosh* whereas you don't hear magnetic brakes.

I was there today when they pulled one of the DB trains which was after it started to rain. The park wasn't crowded today but just came home anyway because for me its just not fun riding in the rain and getting my face stung by the raindrops.
