The-Snapper Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 If Pki really cared about Capacity then why the hell would they only run 1 train on Face/off and Reptar????Im being serious? Pki is dumb for doing this! Seriously though I think Face/Off is a good ride but not a good fit for the park because capacity reasons. IJST will suck at capacity enjoy waiting in line for 4 or 5 hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 IJST will have mediocre capacity. Not great, but not terrible. Yes, don't plan on riding it too much when it first opens. But as time marches on, it will die down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Kinda Guy Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Does PKI care about capacity? Yes, they do. Will they actually do anything to improve capacity? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Two trains on Face/off is possible but would require the park to spend alot of extra money for the parts and also the ride reliablty would go way down. I say 1 hour isnt that long of a wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 No, two trains on Face Off is impossible. Unless they built another identical coaster next to Face Off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 One, I don't think that Reptar is long enough to add another train and the idea of a second train on Face/Off would not be cost effective nor very plausible. Where do you get your hair-brained ideas? Italian Job's lines will only be that long in the opening year and it's pretty typical for a new coaster to have waits that are 4-5 hrs. Did someone have a big bowl of ****y o's for breakfast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shman Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Quote No, two trains on Face Off is impossible. Unless they built another identical coaster next to Face Off. Actually....having two trains on Face Off could be possibly....however the park would have to do some major re-design of the station. See, you would need to have a dual loading station with a sliding transfer track that would move the two cars into place, much like we first saw with the Mr. Freeze coaster at Six Flags St. Louis Mr. Freeze transfer track Transfer station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Yes that is what I was refering to in my earlier post. You also have to realize this will only add about 40% more capcity not 50 cause it will only cut loading times. Also they would need staff on both sides of the track it will also lower rebiltiy. Lines for Face/off arent too terribaly that bad anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather have a Deja Vu? I'm sure that they care about capacity, but one could make the arguement that they don't seem to want to up their ride count any. They add IJ, but remove the Eagles. Same with TR/Kentons Cove, and KC/Delirium. Our park capacity is probably no better than it was in 2001, even with all of the new additions.

familyman Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Runaway Reptar could have been designed to handle another train but it is such a short ride it would not make much difference. Besides that unless you have a kid why would you stand in line to ride it? As far as face off goes that is they type of coaster it is. If you want a comparison, look at Wicked Twister. It only has one train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only has one train. True, it could easily run two trains. Just add a block brake to the brake run just outside the station, to hold the train until the one ahead of it left the station. Then, bring it in and unload/reload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
