SonofBaconator Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago I wonder if taking it to two train ops during rain in future would be the move as it would leave more space between trains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago And why exactly was it open today after having an ACCIDENT yesterday? Doesn't make me feel very safe as a guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they went to 2 trains ops, they could space the trains out enough to minimize the chance of rain affecting the breaks. This could happen with any coaster that’s exposed to the elements. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since guests who were on the ride are reporting injuries, which I have to assume is true, given the park's failure to communicate differently.

DJSkyFoxx Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I was about to say Banshee really is out here having the worst time this season. Definitely hope no more bad things happen before the season is out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browntggrr Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Valravn had a collision in 2019. Makes me wonder if it is a B&M block issue, wet track issue or some type of operator issue. Glad to heat the accident was not serious enough to cause injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once those dispatch buttons are pressed and the train clears the lift, the train wont stop till the break run. So again FAR FAR FAR from operator issue.

My understanding is that there was some sort of software procedure glitch that caused the Valraven issue. Something like, the PLC thought it had one more train or one less train than it actually had.
