She likely doesn't know anything, especially not this early in the game.

Could it have triggered during the launch causing the ride to not have enough momentum to make it to the brake run?

You are right, it is no Maverick right? SOB was trash. The hill had absolutely no airtime whatsoever, it was rough, not re-rideable, and not reliable. Not to mention its safety record.

I live 7.25 miles from Great American Ball Park (as the crow flies) and I can hear the fireworks they set off.

I rode Diamondback while it was in the testing phase as well as IJ:ST before it opened while I was an associate at the park.

I can assure you that most of the ride crew has already ridden the ride, if they had training this past weekend.

You mean Mary Fessler? Source: Picture I took from WCPO.

The reason the first row has more room is the length of the car. The front of the car has a point on Vortex which allows more leg room.

I would imagine for this season they will have a line splitter at the top of the station, which that person's responsibility will be to look for loose items.

You would be jealous, I look at KI out my office window.

One would assume that they have hired an outside company, who that is, we likely won't know until after the fact.

Working during Haunt, not specifically in the Haunts themselves, is usually very stressful as the hours are late and the park is extremely busy on Saturdays. Haunt Fridays aren't terrible nor are the Sundays following.

Oh well. I remembered hearing that at some point, must have missed when it was clarified.

As said above, CF made the recommendation (likely due to insurance reasons) to turn recaR around, due to PTC recommending the trains not be run backwards.

It will not turn back around, unless PTC specifically states that it is ok to run their trains backwards.

Highly doubtful. Especially on a Friday.

I did eat at Harmony Hall. The food was mediocre, the lines VERY long. Have you tried it yourself?

Cedar Point's food service is far worse than Kings Island's. Carowinds seemd to be on par with KI as far as I'm concerned.

Pretty underwhelming.

I was going to mention that I assumed they were using the 95th percentile of humans in some way, but wasn't sure what it was. I also assume that the restraint systems are built based on the 95th percentile of humans as well.

Why? It's basically Backlot?

Much of those remaining acres are not really suitable for future expansion, keep that in mind.

Until the ride becomes too expensive to maintain, then they need to keep it. It's a very good ride for being 30 years old and one of my favorites.

I think you would be hard pressed to see the park invest anymore money in Rivertown for a while, unless they do something with the big beige eyesore next to The Beast. I would look to Coney Mall for the next major attraction. It's been the only area in the park that hasn't gotten a major draw of a ride in years. I don't count WindSeeker as a major attraction.

We have a ride that does inversions with lap bars currently.
