JonahWilliamson Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just curious, let say that truck gets in an accident and the track hits the ground and gets messed up.

Shaggy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 When Maverick was built at CP, the ride had a significant portion of track removed and replaced. A barrel roll was deemed too extreme for the trains and (potential) riders. Because of that, new track pieces had to be manufactured and shipped to the park (Intamin uses an overseas steel manufacturer I believe.) It delayed the ride approximately one month. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That is correct. The heartline roll caused too much stress on the trains.

lifetimecoaster Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The whole locker thing is entertaining to me. I have my zipper pocket cargo shorts. If it doesn't fit in my zipper pockets, I don't take it to the park. We've done visits just me, my wife and I, and both kids, my wife, and I. We don't carry a bunch of stuff with us at the park. I'm not really sure either what else would need to be carried!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Random abandoned items (especially bags) lying on the ground are viewed by park security (and virtually all law enforcement bodies) as possible security threats. I would highly advise that you NOT do this. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would highly advise that you NOT do this. Expand Double Plus on this, there was a bag laying under a bench in the smoking area outside of FoF which I didnt notice at first. Was approached by security and it was strongly suggested I vacate the smoking area. Waiting on wife and kids to get off of FoF and watched them do the same with other people. Did not see the outcome or if they were waiting on the owner to try and retrieve the bag. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
