super7 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 None of them can operate on opening day apparently due to temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Some coasters have a minimum start up temperature, in order to operate. It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Arrows must be the highest required temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "think" it is in the upper 40's for most of them to start up. Someone probably knows the exact numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 In the spring, the required temperatures are higher since they're just starting to be run more consistently after a 5.5-month offseason. In the fall, our Arrow coasters' minimum operating temperature (to at least start up) is 45 degrees; in the spring, it is 50. Today's high temperature was only 47 degrees, which justifies why Vortex, Adventure Express, and The Bat were closed all day today. If today was October 20 rather than April 20, they would have been able to open since it was at/above 45 for most of this afternoon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be able to give us an Arrow coasters minimum sinking amount? Vortex must be on the verge of crossing that thresh hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
