What theming would you like to see at Kings island?
thedevariouseffect replied to CP&LERR Fan's topic in Kings Island
No, it was down mechanical and weather combined... Mechanical for air leaks, stuck brakes, ghost trains, bad prox, not positioned correctly at launch, restraint problems, rollbacks, ect. None of that includes weather downtime. Millie isn't as bad...only downtime mechanical was prox issues and then the lift motor did blow and they were down for a bit and had to diesel the lift to get the next train through the course Arrow downtime...really nonexistent...only had a stuck brake, ghost train, lift blown, and chain on one ride...Nothing else failed...I like Arrows...they follow KISS...nothing too crazy -

I don't exagerate downtime...they do go down quite a bit...my year Dragster had more downtime than uptime for the first two months easily, July wasn't too bad, but Oct. wasn't dragster's month at all.. The only two rides with as much downtime for us was Maggie's lift motor blew twice, and Iron Dragon's chain lift on first hill broke...Next to that, maybe Gemini for weather.. -

DB pulls more G forces than MF...just saying, I prefer MF, but that's just because I enjoy the speed and height of that ride... -
^Yup, unfortunately... Then X2 just dropped them in the coffin and nailed them in...

Still say CP is still pretty thrilling...if you're not seeing that...wow Especially considering there are 3 B&M's in the park and 5 Arrow rides, and then other manufacturers as well... People need to get off of your horse from time to time

Ah..block systems...how they scare so many people

SFGAm...You should know what I meant, you're closer to that park and frequent it more than I do..plus that's where that whole policy originated...they look like total loons doing it, I mean look at this, common lol -

One thing I will still forever hate about six flags, just because it causes slow dispatches, looks stupid, and just ridiculous... VISUAL SCAN -

Go work said intamin coasters..That's where I stand with them.. They are great coasters, and they work well, but they are also a pain. Fun rides don't get me wrong, but eh.. -
Yeah bad idea...when working there, you would ride ejector row with ejector belt and lapbar... My hands were not up on that ride, and that seatbelt got tightened down after the second airtiem hill post turnaround

Best Ride Crews 2013
thedevariouseffect replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
They also don't want the station spammed because if they have a no go for the restraint, they try to get them in the red belt seats next ride cycle. Also, that ride with that high of a capacity, it doesn't matter crowded or not, it destroys the line. When it opened after a rain and had a 10 min wait lined up right at open, they destroyed it in 5 and were dispatching empty rows Sunday -
Best Ride Crews 2013
thedevariouseffect replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Especially considering all restraints are locked by the same mechanism, and each restraint has a redundant hydraulic, ratchet mechanism, with the seatbelt as a last form of protection and to make sure riders are within size limits of the restraint. So if her restraint failed, so did everyone else in that row, which again, highly doubtful... -
Notification Problem
thedevariouseffect replied to CP&LERR Fan's topic in KICentral Footnotes & Small News
Check the actual website more often Honestly I never had the boxes checked so I couldn't tell you, however Tapatalk does a great job with notifications -
I'm guessing it's 40, same as DB, Gatekeeper, ect...probably looks steeper considering the track is below, the way the bend looks, ect...but I can't be too certain, but just a guess

Best Ride Crews 2013
thedevariouseffect replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Seriously...I'd love to take me and a couple CP crew friends and work the ride for a day...show the kids how it's done Also early in the season I learned from the lady at entrance that they have a crew of about 40 people...makes no sense IMO...the crew needs 7 people at minimum to operate (entrance, turnstile, two loads, two unloads, one controls), ideal 9 (one more at load/unload), factor in breaks with full ideal (say three for breaks), that's 12, factor in shifts, (maybe 3 more), thats still 15...double it to allow for shifts, days off, swings, ect...still makes no sense
