IndyGuy4KI Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 As I stated in my PTR here While there on 8/18/10 I noticed that the scrambler was almost disassembled. I was thinking they were starting to tear it down for winter rehab, but I asked the ride op at Paratrooper. He stated that the main bearing went out and the ride had to be taken completely apart to get to it. He said he did not think it would be up the rest of the season. The ride op seemed confident in his response to me and did not seem like he was pulling this info out of his um.. hat. Pic I took while there.

CoastersRZ Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Many years back, Round Up at Coney was out of commission for about a month (I think it was 2006 maybe), because it had a similar issue. The ride was completely disassembled so that they could replace the part. Typically, Scramblers are a very reliable ride (I know the Scrambler at Coney rarely has any downtime, if ever. You just have to be careful of the skunks that like to take up residence in and around the Scrambler at Coney! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
