IndyGuy4KI Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It says the ride will remain operational. Interesting. I'm at the park. I'll have to confirm. Made it to X-Base to confirm/deny its operation status? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 He's a slow mover apparently. Or he had to use the restroom. As we all know, it can take a very long time to get between X-Base and the nearest restroom. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the news release, the electrical panel involved isn't actually part of the ride. Supposedly the ride itself was down for less than an hour today, so that emergency personnel could access the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the news release, the electrical panel involved isn't actually part of the ride. Supposedly the ride itself was down for less than an hour today, so that emergency personnel could access the area. That hardly matters to the general public, though. They will continue to claim it caught fire no matter how many times the actual story is explained, and with each retelling of the story, this alleged fire will get bigger and more destructive. I need to learn to stay away from comment sections on articles. I've seen many people claiming that the ride must surely be unsafe and needs to go. I really wish the General Public would just listen to us enthusiasts. Or park officials. Or reason. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I was at the park for a while this evening. Around 5pm, Flight of Fear was listed on the scrolling signs outside the front gate as being closed (along with Shake, Rattle & Roll.) When I approached the ride, there were what appeared to be ride operators (and a security guard) standing at the entrance and exit of the ride. The entrance itself was blocked off with a trash can that appeared to have a trash bag taped to the top of it (?). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be the same enthusiasts who were making jokes here before the extent of the incident was even known?Even now, what do "enthusiasts" know about the incident that the park hasn't told the public? Terp, known for asking questions, not always comfortable ones. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Flight of Fear is not operating, at least at the time of this writing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Job 2005 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Does anyone else find it a bit suspicious that there have been three fires in three different places (one with the motor being overheated, one with the panel, and one with a pump house) and they're all supposedly unrelated, but yet they have all been in the same place (near or in Flight of Fear) and occurred within two weeks?

Cody Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 When FoF has any problems with electrical, they're usually pretty bizarre. Drop Zone and FoF launch had a very very interesting electrical "relationship". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Is the ride still closed? I wouldn't doubt if an in depth inspection will not take place with every piece of electrical at that entire building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 The panel most recently involved is reportedly outside the building.... And you double negatived yourself...wouldn't doubt there won't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 According to the running boards, FOF is still closed today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 ^ With the last closure, the signs at the front gate said that it was closed hours after it reopened. The best place to check ride statuses (without walking all over the park) is on the TV monitors at the information booth (former FUN Perks booth) near the front gate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSaturdayNite Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I really wish the General Public would just listen to us enthusiasts. Or park officials. Or reason. There was once a video on this site of a man who wanted the park to listen to us enthusiasts. He worked himself into quite a Fuhrer over it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Shake, Rattle and Roll was closed today and had the same sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, they did find a new X File that I need to look into. Something about some new Limits, it looks small, but it is bigger on the inside.

Oldiesmann Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Shake, Rattle and Roll was closed today and had the same sign. SRR has been closed at least since Monday. I was mildly disappointed as that's one of my favorite flat rides at the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
