I was just watching the webcam and noticed they put a train in the shed, anyone have any ideas as to why?

Perhaps the demand wasn't there given the fact that it is a holiday after all.

but you would think the park would be super swaped.

There expecting rain I would guess. (They can only run 2 trains in the rain)

why is that?

break run issues?!

Safety Reasons. Trains can slip through the brakes which would cause a big mess.

slip through magnetic brakes?

i see that unlikely

slip through magnetic brakes?

i see that unlikely

stranger things have happened

Diamondback has a "Rain Mode" setting for days like this if you watch there will always be a extra block between each train at all times. If the green train is in the station then the gold train is on the transfer track block.

DB doesn't just have magnetic brakes, It also has skid brakes. There are only magnetic brakes on the trim(I think) and the final brake run.

Magnetic brakes can only slow a train, not completely stop it. The brakes the press against the fins on the bottoms of the trains (and operate with compressed air) actually stop the trains.

Edit:

..There are only magnetic brakes on the trim(I think) and the final brake run.

The trim brake isn't magnetic. It is a skid brake (or whatever the ones with the air compressor pushing the two sides together). You can tell because you hear the *whoooosh* whereas you don't hear magnetic brakes.

what about the best brake of all...

...the water brakes.

Maybe because it's not too crowded, we were expecting huge crowds but I think the rain scared everyone away.

^ Really? If it isn't crowded I might have to go down today.

^Well I'm not going to say it is not crowded but it isn't the crowds that were expected.

compared to yesturday its fairly empty.

but even if the crowds are low they should still be running 3, when have they pulled a "Worlds of Fun" at KI?

If its better than yesterday I want to go. I went yesterday and I could handle that.

EDIT: Its raining down here in Kings Mills...

If its raining I highly doubt the rides will be running.

except FOF....

Jon who just had to.

Which I really don't know why...

and except the Crypt

Alex, who just had to...

Also, only two trains are running still...

I was there today when they pulled one of the DB trains which was after it started to rain. The park wasn't crowded today but just came home anyway because for me its just not fun riding in the rain and getting my face stung by the raindrops.

I enjoyed riding in the rain, I was hoping it would have kept some people away, but the lines weren't bad. Except for The Beast, which was running only 1 train.

so how long were the waits today?

i hope that d'back is running all 3 trains today.

Given that the rain is gone...it would seem that:

Most likely

Signs point to yes

Outlook good

As I see it yes

Terpy, who knows some will know where those divinations came from.

Ask again later.

I hated it when they said that. It's like...what else do you have to do? lol

All 3 trains today....and very minimal lines. The place seemed empty compared to Friday

If its raining I highly doubt the rides will be running.

I rode Diamondback when it was pouring rain usally only thunderstorms close the rides down.

Not under CF policy, only steady rain (anyone can correct me) will close rides down. Saftey percaution.
