nhimes90 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I remember when Runaway Reptar opened it had two trains, anybody know why they took the second one off?? Do you think they will ever put it back on? Edit: 200th post! woo I'm a Junky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 maybe since it didn't help capacity any. another quick question, does anyone have a picture of it with both trains, i honestly don't remember there being a second one?

StalkerChick Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I didn't think it had a transfer track anywhere? and from Kings Islands website, as well as rcdb: Number of Trains 1 train, 10 cars per train, 2 guests per car the youtube official POV^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've been reluctant to post in this thread, as this is not the type of thing I remember with absolute accuracy, but I do not remember that particular coaster ever having a second train.

nhimes90 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 I swear I remember it having two trains when I was little. One would be in the station and the other would be on the brake run. Maybe i'm crazzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 To my knowledge, Reptar has never had two trains. It's not a very long ride and it would be kinda hard to cram a second train on there without the possibility of a collision somewhere along the line.

pcc Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I don't recall it ever having 2 trains either. That's my only complaint with the ride, it seems like it takes forever to get seated Maybe it's just a mental thing knowing only 1 train is there, and you have to wait..and wait...and wait... I love the crew there. Every time we ride, they do park trivia with the guests. My girls have learned a lot about the park from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station to end of lift End of lift to brakes Brakes to station One train could be loaded and going up the lift, as long as the other out on the circuit could be held in the brake run in case of a long loading time. Two trains is possible, but for some reason KI elected to only have one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That reason is doubtless called money. Coaster trains are very, very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
