UnrealNightmare Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 ok when has SFKK had a bad safety record the last time I checked the accident was the 1st mojor accident of the parks history and also the park maintence i think is great at SFKK because theres always a mechanic around. one time I got stuck on chang and the mechanic came up to us and told us what was going on and we where off in less then 5min. So I disagree with you on all points. Have you forgotten Vampire. I consider that an accident! Especially when riders have to be removed by a cherry picker! Especially when the ride has to be removed!! Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 An evacuation is not an accident, no matter what you consider it. Parks frequently have evacuations....they almost never make the news... Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Didn't the ride get stuck in the middle of the Cobra Roll then shortly closed after? Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Many, many times. When it was relocated to Massachusetts it acquired a catwalk. That same summer, FaceOff got stuck many, many times as well (in the valley before the second lift--not the roll), and had to be evacuated....using a ladder...it got catwalks added as well.... Quote
PKIDelirium Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Yeah, I am looking forward to Chang. I don't care for Mantis but Vortex at Carowinds is great. Chang rox0rz t3h box0rz Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Tell me if im wrong but arent we getting a bit off topic here???? Quote

I believe Face-Off has had the catwalks along its lift since it was originally installed, however there is no catwalk on the cobra roll. Edit: I meant "Invertigo" not "Face-Off" Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I am talking about in the valley before the second lift...and no, they weren't there at first, they had to use ladders to evacuate guests... Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 rcfreak, i think you can leave the moderating to the moderators, they're discussing Kentucky Kingdom Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 ...and the comparison between FaceOff (now Invertigo) and Vampire, which was brought up earlier.... Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 rcfreak, i think you can leave the moderating to the moderators, they're discussing Kentucky Kingdom ...that wasn't very nice... but really lets talk about something other then the accident or anything that comes close to it... Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 But really, listen when I say leave the moderating to the moderators. Members on here were discussing topics within the terms of service and that were relevant to the topic at hand, if you do not wish to discuss them, then don't. If they wish to, then they will. Quote

The Interpreter Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 One definition of moderate is to cool down. You tell him to cool down and that you aren't moderating? Seems oxymoronic to me. Quote

How were the Deja Vu coasters evacuated? Also, is it going to be a major disappointment that Twisted Twins won't be operating when i visit. Quote

Sorry for the double post but Yes its is sorta a dissipotent that twisted twins will not be operating because on some days its a great ride but when it rains or gets way to hot it feels like its about to de-rail you really got to catch the ride on a perfect day.

Gordon Bombay Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 rcfreak, you were instructing other members to get back on topic, when they in fact weren't off topic. When a topic gets out of hand and is off topic or another terms of service rule is broken, a moderator (Me, CoastersRZ, Captain Nemo) or an Administrator (Boddah1994, Dane, or zosobeast) will take care of it. I was pointing out that the members discussing SFKK in this topic were discussing subjects relevant to the topic and were in fact not off topic, also that there was no reason for you to tell them otherwise. This wasn't to be mean, but to tell you the rules. Now, I already posted to get this topic back in the direction it was going, so please, continue to discuss the topic at hand, because the topic of moderation is over. Any questions, always feel free to PM me or another staff member. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I just gave you a answer that is relavent to the topic... and no I wasn't instructing at all It was an opinion. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 rcfreak, please read my last post before this, i told you the discussion was over and that if you had any questions or concerns to private message me, either talk about the topic at hand, or stop posting in this thread. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 does anybody know what exactly is going on with Twisted Twins and Mile High Falls? Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Yes. Someone does know. The park has not released that information. You might find this helpful: http://gadvupdates.com/forums/index.php/to...icseen.html#new See especially post #12... And if you want even more hints: http://gadvupdates.com/forums/index.php/topic,2063.0.html Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Ok so i get it they evacuate the ride but it's still not supposed to happen. You'd think with all the millions of dollars they spend on these rides they would put a little more thought into its engineering! I don't want to argue anymore can't we all just be friends? Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 It's a new they. The old Six Flags they is long gone...not unlike the old Paramount Parks management is also long gone. Sometimes major changes are needed... Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Yeah i remember going to SFKK about 5 years ago and seeing it was being poorly maintained. I rode Chang in the front car and yellow foam was sticking out from the seat! I haven't been back since. KI is and always will be my home park! Now that I'm moving back to Indy i may plan a trip down to Louisville this summer. Quote
King Maple The Tree King Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Ok so i get it they evacuate the ride but it's still not supposed to happen. Actually, there are times when rides are stopped on purpose and evacuated. This can be due to many reasons from an unruly guest to a mechanical problem noticed by the rides crew. The evacuations are carefully done and follow park approved procedures. Just because their is an evacuation does NOT mean there is an accident. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 What I meant was it's not suppose to be evacuated from the middle of its cobra roll. There aren't even trim breaks in the location in which it got stuck. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 And as I have said, there are now..... Quote
