Maybe it's scared of the new ride Falcon's Fury. Check out the POV just done today.

Why was the POV sped up? That's weird. Look at the cars

^ I know. At first I was wondering what that awesome speed car ride in the backlot was before realizing it all was sped up. My guess is they currently have it going up the tower slow for testing purposes.

Or that the average viewers attention span is short and won't stick to the end in which they want guests to see and get excited.

This past weekend when you were on Diamondback you could see the crews replacing railroad track. Must be at least on bad spot in the track that has kept the train parked.

We went on the Sunday of opening weekend and it was aggravating seeing a lot of rides not working properly or not even running at all. This seems to happen each year at the beginning of the season. It makes no sense when they have plenty of time to get the rides ready before opening weekend. At one point in the late afternoon, we went to Delirium, waited in line and it temporarily closed. So we walked to The Beast, and then it ended up closing. Grrrr!

The off season for some reason gets thought of as an empty quiet period at seasonal parks, when in fact, it's such a busy time and sadly such a small window to get so much done. Think each track is walked numerous times, inspected, repairs done to the track, supports, etc. The trains completely disassembeled to the smallest bolt, new parts put in place. Test runs and maint. runs on every ride, state inspections, new construction, changes to rides and retrofits, upgrades, etc. All of this mainly happening in the winter, which mind you this was a pretty bad one.

There's alot going on, and this is just rides. This doesn't involve the shops, games, food areas, etc. It's busier than you think.

Completely agree.

It amazes me they get as much done as they do in the short time frame of the off season.

I am impressed with how much they have done. The winter was brutal. I truly cannot believe they were able to not only get an entire roller coaster built, repainted Bat, rethemed an area which looks amazing in my opinions. I really did not expect the park to open until this weekend due to what the construction crews fought against. Well done construction and maintenance crews.

I can't get the link to load, but Greg Scheid has tweeted that the train will be back open this weekend! Good news

Here is the tweet.

Happy to report that the KI and Miami Valley railroad will be operating this weekend after a slight delay.

This is about Drop Tower? Not the MVRR.

Information Booth 1 is broken down.

Life is but a game, but what game is it?

RCT3 of course!

You could set the price at $0.01 and I still wouldn't pay to ride it.

Am I the only one underwhelmed by that Falcons Fury POV?

It makes some crazy noises.

It's an Intamin what do you expect?

Is it too much to expect it to operate reliably and consistently?

Especially after paying so many millions for it?

Kings Island can be added due to Drop Tower.

For an Intamin? Yes.

Banshee biggest problem on opening day was protein.

Really?

Har har har har har...

Went last night, 5/3 6:30 - !0 - Drop Tower was down the whole time, and WindSeeker only went up during the fireworks display.

Nothing gives me more of a rush than Drop Tower. I hope they get it working soon.

Yeah, it was sad. They didn't even have Drop Tower's lights on.

~Coolio schoolio~
