How long does a lift chain last? I would assume they would last a really long time but assuming makes an a$$ out of me now and then. Just curious if anyone has any information on this? 

There are so many variables, I would assume there would be data that is needed to be crunched such as:

Time chain lift motor is running/ amount of train cycles (train weight)/ amount of passengers (additional weight).

I also assume that the chain slack would be checked periodically and once x-links are removed due to stretching the chain is replaced.

I'm sure I oversimplified the process, but you get the idea.

I remember when Vortex was down because apparently the chain itself broke and they were going to put a new one on I was told
