Expecting perfection leaves little room for reality.

I think there is a lot more than bad luck going on with the WindSeekers, Then what is it with the prototype ride?pro·to·type/ˈprōtəˌtīp/ Noun: A first or preliminary model of something, esp. a machine, from which other forms are developed or copied.

Chalk it up as bad luck.

From an operations standpoint, I cannot think of an easier coaster to load/ unload than Raptor. Guests of exceptional size is normally not a concern. Shoes are not a concern. Operators can easily get to the restraints without bending over. Carry-on items are normally not an issue.

Comparing SoB to any coaster makes zero sense.....

^ Were you eligable for OT pay, or were you exempt (thus screwed) due to seasonal work?

There are actually dedicated jobs for "shampooers" to make the list? Guess you learn something new everyday!

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that these issues have yet to rear their ugly head.

I have a hard time blaming just Linder with this one.....

Did the signs mention all 5 days ( ) or just DB is closed today?

Operating season is my favorite. Off season $ucks!

International Street doesn't really have the "International" aspect nailed down. You think adding a bunch of flags to the entrance will help? The true "international" aspect of IS has been missing since the mid-90's. At this point, adding anything will help.

Sounds like a hydraulic leak. I assume the shock absorbers use normal hydraulic fluid, which is clear. Given it was raining, and they wiped down the car, they were troubleshooting which absorber the leak was coming from.

Or the RoI did not support a/c or the cost of repainting the continuous "melting" rust streak the a/c caused.

I have. Not only have I seen it at an amusement park, but managed some in the service industry.

SS did have a/c back in the 70's & early 80's.

Attorneys are supposed to make anyone/ anything look bad and vise-versa. Sure, an attorney can twist a park's desire to squeeze as much time out of their employees, yet, the park is not suggesting an employee to skip a step or cut corners. ANY employer want as much out of their employees as possible and a happy medium needs to be found between speed & simply not performing the job effectively.

If the article is correct that the unconfirmed winged coaster will be the longest in the park, it will be longer than MF's almost 6600'. For comparison's sake, Beast is almost 7400'. That will be one LONG coaster!

Quick fixes are often used on machines. Quick also means short term. DB's issue is quite interesting as it will take 4 days to complete the fix. I am curious to see if DoA testing will be part of the 4 days. If so, the "routine maintenance" is anything but.

Comparing FD to SoB??Really??

Informing people of CP up North? -or- Planting the seed for people to purchase CF season passes in 2013?

Too costly to take down?No room to store parts? No time to do work? The list goes on...

Something original like: Winged Dispatch Transport themed as a robotic flight to the Bering Sea.

I was just thinking: KI used to have a ride that could stop your heart, and start it as well....
