If they’re operating one train, you won’t see collision issues. Even if they went to 2 trains ops, they could space the trains out enough to minimize the chance of rain affecting the breaks. This could happen with any coaster that’s exposed to the elements.

And design it in-house, since it worked so well last time!

Time to remove it for Son of Beast 2.0

I was about to say Banshee really is out here having the worst time this season. Definitely hope no more bad things happen before the season is out.

Did the walk through of Madam Fatales Cavern of Horror today to see what all remains of tomb raider. It was a really fun experience! I must say after seeing everything that is still in there, wouldn't it be awesome to eventually have a rollercoaster or dark ride return to the building? Something like DarKoaster or Verboten would be amazing in there or of course a Vekoma Mad House would be a riot too.

Last night, Barney Fife had control of the brakes on Banshee. Two trains ended up colliding and Banshee finished the day operating with 1 train. No injuries reported. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1o7Y9FNpZ1XcsjP2/?

^ I have unfortunately been part of many accident investigations and have learned that during the initial stages of the investigation. no root cause can be eliminated. What needs to be done is try & repeat the actions prior to the accident. I believe both the park along with B&M will try to replicate it and conduct numerous interviews with all staff.

My understanding is that there was some sort of software procedure glitch that caused the Valraven issue. Something like, the PLC thought it had one more train or one less train than it actually had.

FAR FAR FAR from operator issue. Once those dispatch buttons are pressed and the train clears the lift, the train wont stop till the break run. So again FAR FAR FAR from operator issue.

Valravn had a collision in 2019. Makes me wonder if it is a B&M block issue, wet track issue or some type of operator issue. Glad to hear the accident was not serious enough to cause injuries.

I wonder if taking it to two train ops during rain in future would be the move as it would leave more space between trains.

Found this on reddit. That looks pretty bad. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

They are themed to the areas loosely with a shroud. It appears that the screens are exposed directly to the client. That will be problematic, especially since people will likely think they’re touch screen and poke them.

There's a better chance of the Menendez brothers being released from prison than there is of Son of Beast coming back.

I am a new gold pass member, and I used it for the first time for opening night of Haunt. I had went to Haunt in 2019 only to ride rides, and was absolutely miserable. We had been there on a Saturday before Halloween, and we had been there for 9 hours and only rode 3 rides. It was packed and there was several fist fights. I was hesitant returning to Haunt, but I was so PLEASANTLY surprised. I had NEVER ever been in a haunted house before, so I did two for the first time last night! I did Hotel St Michelle, which I really liked! I was a little worried about feeling claustrophobic, but I felt like there was plenty of room to get through and enjoy. I liked that the scareactors scared you there, but they weren't really up in my face as bad as other spots. I also enjoyed it being back in the old Days of Thunder building, I think. I had never been back there before, so that was fun. I felt the same way when we went through Madame Fatale's. I got a little more panickey during the line of Madame Fatales, but I think I was really hot and overwhelmed. It was a fun house though! There is a heavy strobe effect in it, so if that effects you, just be aware! We got to walk on Diamondback and Mystic Timbers, and we also got a ride in on Adventure Express. That ride is FUN in the dark! Also I got my FIRST NIGHT RIDE EVER on The Beast!!! HOLY CRAP!! Also we stayed for the closing scaremonies and I highly recommend catching that before you leave. It is epic! This was my first day using my gold pass and it's perks, and I am really thankful for it. It was a fun night!

That's fair, but it makes you wonder what else is wrong with the ride. Especially since guests who were on the ride are reporting injuries, which I have to assume is true, given the park's failure to communicate differently.
