TombRaiderFTW Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Terpedoed in 1 post or less--er, sorry... Seriously, what is up with KI's rides this year? At this rate, they could open a new Haunt this year called "Maintenance Worker," because it sounds like their lives must be nightmares this season.

A.S.Coasters Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It was stuck on the lift hill yesterday, that's why. Please don't make thread for a ride being closed, we've been seeing quite a few lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, yes we have quite a few lately of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I guess we KI fanatics are so eager for somthing new to happen at KI (new ride or somthing to come) that this is really all we can talk about. The broken ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm not sure if there has been more down time this year, or just more threads about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 How many avid bike riders do we have here? I bet you keep your bike in good maintenance only to find while riding it that the sprocket or chain keeps on rubbing the frame or you your chain comes off. Or you find your wheel not being tru and rubs the frame. I take good care of my bike and these kind of things will happen and I had to walk my bike home one day after a ride down to Cincinnati. It requires maintenance to fix the problem and you do not ride it until you have it fixed. It is the same thing with rides at Kings Island. Just because a ride requires maintenance does not mean they have issues with that or any ride. Anything mechanical will require maintenance during the operation and if you ignore it it will only get worse and cause much more intensive repairs to be made. If you ignore the maintenance issues then you have a safety issue that will cause passengers to be injured due to repair needs being put off to the side. Would you rather Kings Island keep the rides operating and ignore any and all maintenance requirements just so you can ride it to your hearts content at risk of a car falling off the track? I think not. I saw the mechanics inspecting the ride and working to get it going then testing it until they were convinced that it met all of their safety requirements this morning and early afternoon.

Joncars05 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Not sure about why people get bent out of shape about a topic posted. I think that if a ride is down for the majority of the day, if not all day, that is newsworthy and should be mentioned. I would hate to go to the park and see that FOF or FH is down all day especially when I could have been notified ahead of time. If it is posted here I can see that there has been a problem with the ride and then call KI ahead of my visit time to make sure the ride is fixed. If my favorite ride or two rides are down the day I plan to go, I would change my mind and not make the trip. No need to jump down someone's throat because they posted something about a ride's down time. Side note: If you haven't seen a useful post here in a while: A. Make a useful post/topic yourself or B. Don't comment and wait until something "useful" comes up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 while talking about down rides is Invertigo and Delirium running yet? Invertigo is operating. From what I was told by a few friends that I ran into at the park (they were there on Friday) that it valley-ed after the loop, going to the 2nd lift.
