Top Gun

I was at PKI on wednesday while I was in line for SOB the employees started to send a train up the lift and then let it sit. When I got off SOB and walked over to the Top Gun line it was closed. Around 6:00 pm when I was on the Tower I saw that Top Gun started to run again and it was open this time but no one was ridding it. Is there something going on with the coaster?

Of all the rides at the park, it seems to me like Top Gun is the one that has the most problems. There have been no less than three times when I've been in line for it when the ride closes for one reason or another...that's not happened before to me on *any* other ride.

I've been in line for Face/Off twice when it has broken down, both times with my cousin who's never ridden it. I guess he's bad luck. Anyway that and King Cobra are the only rides I've been in ine for when they've broken down.

Well, for those of you who don't know, which seems like it's just one of you. biggrin.gif Last year, there was some sort of miscommunication between the maintenance staff and the ride operators. The ride operator did not know that one of the maintenance staff's trucks were parked way too close to track and during a test run, the train collided with the truck. Both were badly damaged. Top Gun opened a few days later using only the undamaged train.

Good story, isn't it?

Back to the problems. TG was closed all day saturday and sunday, and it couldn't have been due to understaffing, as both were anticipated to be high attendance days. Clearly there must have been something wrong, especially to shut it down on two days when they were expecting a lot of people.
