disco2000 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 They slowed it down at the MCBR since the water is not there to participate in the braking system. My four rides today had a little different experience as it hit the MCBR: Complete stop on the MCBR for a brief moment. A crawl thru the MCBR. A crawl thru the MCBR and then held it momentarily with only the back car on the brake system. Fairly normal speed at the end of the night on a train not full. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 The splashdown appeared to be in the process of draining. From what I understand, this isn’t a nightly thing. They may have been preparing to work on the filtration or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejenkins1 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It is still low and has been for days. Maybe cleaning but think that would have been done off season when it was empty... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Even though I am not a fan of Diamondback, I think it would be cool to ride it without the splashdown. That being said, if the splashdown effect were to be removed/permanently shut off, that would be a bit disappointing as that was one of the highlights of the ride that made it unique.

I am not sure that should be an issue with all the rain we have been getting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomPlague Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Perhaps related to the preparations to reopen White Water Canyon? Does it drain into the same lagoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Probably some sort of maintenance on DB's splashdown. Perhaps with filtration or something. I wouldn't be surprised if it's refilled already.

PKIDelirium Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 It could use a good pressure washing before they refill it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
