Vortex Down

to someone's comment about Drop Tower's recent down time... If not mistaken, it got fried pretty good when it it got zapped by lightning a few months back.

Drop Tower has been operating for the past few weeks.

It's been up and down.

that's what I was referring to. It operates but seems to have more up/down issues than it used to. I mean, it was hit (by Doc Brown's estimate) 1.21 gigawatts of electricity... enough to send a person backward and forward in time- it's likely that they are band-aiding it to get through the season to do some tune-up work in the off season.

Drop Tower being down on the 4th could have something to do with weather. It cannot operate in high winds, and even if there is no wind at the ground, the wind at the top of the tower can be rather strong. Ask the ride op sitting at the entrance; they'll usually be willing to say whether they're down for "mechanical issues" or a specific weather problem.

That's what I was thinking. This isn't the first time we've had hotter than hell temps.

What is it with Cincinnatians? We tend to forget the weather that happens.

It snows: WHAT IS THIS WHITE FLUFFY STUFF? HOW DO I DRIVE IN IT!!???

It rains: ...hmmm....water...from the sky? How do I drive in it!!??

It's hot: ... I wish it were winter...

it's cold: ...I wish it were summer...
