KDCOASTERFAN Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaterboy22101 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 There expecting rain I would guess. (They can only run 2 trains in the rain) why is that? Safety Reasons. Trains can slip through the brakes which would cause a big mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPGUN1993 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterboy22101 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 slip through magnetic brakes? i see that unlikely 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 slip through magnetic brakes? i see that unlikely 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.

rotag Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 what about the best brake of all... ...the water brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Maybe because it's not too crowded, we were expecting huge crowds but I think the rain scared everyone away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 ^ Really? If it isn't crowded I might have to go down today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 ^Well I'm not going to say it is not crowded but it isn't the crowds that were expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corn4ahead Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 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.

CoasterFreak45 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 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.

HandsUp Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 All 3 trains today....and very minimal lines. The place seemed empty compared to Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear the Four Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Not under CF policy, only steady rain (anyone can correct me) will close rides down. Saftey percaution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
