The Interpreter Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I'm not sure I would agree with that viewpoint.
DropZone99 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 My guess is that next season it'll be back open. If the ride still has problems it'll be closed again and probably removed. I'd rather it just be removed.. Rivertown could expand, and there will be no asian temples in a western town.
Monroe Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 ^But in the western town of Tazba, you have eastern boys and western girls. 1
Browntggrr Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Now that CF owns the park and is in the process of de-Paramountization, I think that maintaining TR:TR is not a priority. Then what they have been doing with it all year? There have been numerous reports that the themeing has been removed for repair and/ or replacement. Obviously they are doing something. 1
Tuskin Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 And I do believe I remember someone saying that they lose the license to trtr and ijst next year.. so it could be a re-theme or they could just be repairing and re-newing the license next year.
KDCOASTERFAN Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Do all top spins break often, or is Tomb Raider special? The last time I was at KD back in august TR:FF was stuck just short of the platform so I guess it's all top spins that suffer from frequent downtime.Zamperla's Roto-shake ride was also plauged by mechanical problems which led to their removal in just about every US park that had one. BGE also had a ride similar to SFKK's Quake,known as Gladiator's Gauntlet & like Quake the ride suffered from frequent downtime which led to it's removal in the late 90's I believe.
Tuskin Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Well none the less trtr has always seemed to have a lot of downtime these past few years
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 ^But in the western town of Tazba, you have eastern boys and western girls. Ooo, you're so close... "In a West End town, a dead end world The East End boys and West End girls" Thanks for playing... 1
flightoffear1996 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I think it would be cool to theme it as a fort and have a Cowboys and Indains ride.
Tuskin Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 That could be really cool they could turn that ugly box on the ouside into looking like a BIG FORT .. althought again thats a lot of money to do lol it would still be pretty nifty

"In a West End town, a dead end world The East End boys and West End girls" Thanks for playing... Close to what? And I did not know I was playing.
Tuskin Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Lol well evidently you were playing get with the program
HelixSpiral Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 If you ever watchign the Discorvy video they explained those noises. He's not talking about the noise from the resistor banks. He means the noises from the ride unit itself. I agree the noises would seem odd to a random guest, however I think the fact that it's in a metal building makes it worse than it would be outside with ambient noise.
Browntggrr Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 It could just be a Huss design/ engineering issue. Look at both Delirium and Maxair. Both have had lengthy downtime issues. Perhaps Huss is to flat rides as Intamin is to coasters? 1

Perhaps Huss is to flat rides as Intamin is to coasters? Did Maverick and Millennium Force have lengthy downtime issues? 1
Browntggrr Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 ^ Depends on what your opinion of lengthy is. Maverick's heartline. MF's elevator cable has snapped a couple of times. As well as the main computer has blown at least once. Etc. But I was actually leaning more towards the early issues of WT, TTD, and KK.

Except for the fact that Intamin has not gone broke.
Tuskin Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 No Intamin is actually doing alright right now, not fantastic, but they are alright
Browntggrr Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 With that I guess I will agree. Except for the fact that Intamin has not gone broke. Well they have installed all of those coasters for over $100 million total since 2000. That is not exactly a bad 7 years. They have also installed almost 50 coasters around the World in that same time span. With another 7 coming in 2008. Apparently there are many parks that are not scared off from Intamin's recent operating issues.

"In a West End town, a dead end world The East End boys and West End girls" Thanks for playing... Close to what? And I did not know I was playing. I thought you were trying to quote "West End Girls" by The Pet Shop Boys. My bad if you weren't.
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I bet he doesn't even know who The Pet Shop Boys ARE (j/k, Monroe...but if you don't, ask your daughter!)
Aves Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 The only things I buy on I-street are the brownies!
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 ^ Uh, okay... And this has something to do with anything in this topic?
Aves Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I don't know, it's seems everyone says something random at one point, and that was mine!
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Those things weren't random, as will be seen in the future. You'll look back and see the flight of fancy here was more than that.
Aves Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 ^ If anyone were to correct me, I'm glad it's you.
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Now I'm trying to interpret what The Interpreter has said. Does that make me the interpreter in this case? A paradox has just occured... 1
Aves Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 It's funny how quickly these threads get COMPLETLY off topic?
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Again, there is more than a hint of the future here. . .
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 You're right. Looking back at recent posts, it looks like I'm the main culprit. Sorry everyone!
