TheKlockster Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Ok, believe what you want. I dont know anything about how the electrical lines run to the brakes. Just ignore the guy in maintenance. Since when does sound deal with brakes? I thought sound only got involved if the speakers or lift cam went out. And even then - its more likely to be an example of - "we know the lift speakers don't work - we'll fix it after close". Or better yet "the sound system broke cause you keep sticking paper in the buttons". I was once told by sound that the buttons dont latch - when they CLEARLY did latch in the beginning of the season. And some of the other buttons still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Can we say that Landscaping cant spray down a midway without damaging something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Can we say that Cedar Fair will probably stop the practice of maintenance driving vehicles all kinds of places when the park is open and guests are present? Or will contract out departments where under Paramount there seemed to be quite a lot of time for fun and games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Ok, believe what you want. I dont know anything about how the electrical lines run to the brakes. Just ignore the guy in maintenance. First of all Tom, at around eight bucks an hour, your not in maintenance. Your in TECH SERVICES. Secondly, when it comes to the trim brakes on: the first drop, top of second hill, and in the midcourse brake run; yeah, those aren't electrically powered either.

TheKlockster Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Nor are the ones at the end of the ride I believe. I heard they still maintain a quite potent magnetism even when the ride is keyed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Go back to pushing your buttons. What someone gets paid does not determine your posistion. All I know is that your little ride op-ing ass is overpaid to sit there and press a button once ever what, 4 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Sparky knows his stuff... And even if someone does get paid to push buttons - that doesn't mean theyre an idiot. Like fixing animatronics and sound systems and cash registers doesnt qualify you any more as an expert on linear magnetic braking than a "lap bar monkey"... How magnetic brakes work. You might even learn a thing or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Son of Beast Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 When I came at the begginning of the year it wasn't braking I think they work the brakes in the summer becuase of the wood getting dry and making a rougher ride.Even though this ends the fued kinda I wish I could have gotten this in earlier.

SOB_TOM Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Its because some people get on the boards for the sole reason of antagonizing others while somehow playing inside the rules of the TOS. Just look at some of the posts Sparky has made in the past, and you can see where I come from. And BTW Sparky, I wasnt put in charge of mikes this year. Van was. So if you have any complaints about that one, talk to the village idiot. He seems to be very adapt at building crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 BTW Tom, I didn't make the comment about the mikes, Chris did...If not on the microphone team then you must have been "in charge" of getting IJs effects up to par. Which, clearly, have all worked like a charm this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKlockster Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 It all started out as an innocent question - and ended up as a war between rides operations and a member of sound and self proclaimed wood coaster maintenence expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
