Why the hell did you start a thread about this...

Um... Lol No.

Magic Kingdom: Space Mountain Epcot: Mission Space Hollywood Studios: Rockin' Roller Coaster (I also love 'Lights! Motors! Action! Extreme Stunt Show') Animal Kingdom: Expedition Everest

People are evacuated from rides more than you think.

Lol. Fully aware. But it could still happen, and has before. Lol.

Sanity is the answer to your question

If I were to guess, I would have to say its for your safety. Let's say the ride breaks down in the lift an they have to evacuate you, they dont want you to walk down metal steps with barefeet. Or let's say it's breaks down in the MCBR and they have to evacuate there too. They don't want you walking on the road with bare feet. Saftey.

Never Mind.

#1. We don't know if its a floorless. #2. Kings Dominion got Dominator from another park, they didn't manufacture it. #3. How do we know its going to a Cedar Fair park. Think before ya speculate ladies and gents.

Last picture, look at the label. Under "Description" it says "Station Element ST4"

Lets think business before enthusiast here. Does it break down often? Is it a coaster they can add to their count, for advertisements/website/ect. ? Are they loosing money with maintenance costs, and is it worth it compared to hourly capacity? Who knows. Until they find a good financial reason, other than "its just old", then it will stay.

Seems that its a station element. So its a little to early to tell what kind of B&M this could be. Does anyone know what X-Works is? I feel like I saw something like this before. It related to like Cedar Fair or something.

Thats really cool the park shared information like that. Wish Kings Island would do the same, I'd love to see stuff like that

Pictures?

I can tell you right now, thats not what they will do. Why make a couple million dollar investment into something, that has no potential of bringing people back into the park the following year? Its like throwing money away. My guess is they will let it sit and build around it. For a long time.

Sigh. Typically is the key word here.

Great idea for a campaign. Only thing is, Kings Island is an entertainment company. I suggest you watch this video one of my friends made the other day, and spread it around.

For some reason, this picture is my favorite.

"It's a wonder no one flipped a switch and opened the restraints as I was on the ride". Clearly, people have no idea how a roller coaster works and or is operated.

Just a quick update. I did see Drop Tower cycling today at around 4:00pm. This is good news! Hopefully it will be open this weekend.

My favorite part of SOB was the loop, and the layout following. I never liked anything before it.

Lots of new people on the crew this year. Just an observation.

Awesome! I'm glad.

I don't really know what your asking, due to the wild and incorrect grammar. However, Diamondback has a policy of three clicks. It's the same on all the restraints and it's been that way since 2009. The train won't be allowed to dispatch unless all the restraints are below 3 clicks. Were ride ops rude to you today?
