dare-to-fly Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A bolt? That must be interesting maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I understand it all happened due to the trim brake not being used. Terpy, kidding....maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomkatt7 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A bolt? A single bolt? I find that very unlikely. Unless...... the "other" 7 bolts that held it in place have rusted off over the years, and instead of replacing them, we were just counting on the other one to hold it all. Therefore it broke when the blot failed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It looks, from the picture, as though that coaster is somewhat neglected in more areas than just "bolts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlfox_21 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 From the looks of that roller coaster, I'm surprised the tape didn't get wet and fall off. I can just look at thing and tell you that I would never be willing to get on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I just wondered if the ride ops sang in the station: Wait for the Wagon Wait for the Wagon Wait for the Wagon And we'll all take a ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 They'll have to hoist the wagon onto a lorrie, and make a right proper fix of it before tea, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hey, a little duct tape could fix it up! It looks as if that's the only form of maintenance they perform on it anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenpooh Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well I do hope all of the people that were on the ride are ok. Maybe they will have better judgment on what they get on from now on. I mean come on one bolt????? No way.. I agree, the one that was left after the other ones fell off they were depending on way to much!!!
