[Tr0y]

Last night, Barney Fife had control of the brakes on Banshee. Two trains ended up colliding and Banshee finished the day operating with 1 train.

No injuries reported.

Found this on reddit. That looks pretty bad.

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.

Moved this to its own thread.

And why exactly was it open today after having an ACCIDENT yesterday? Doesn't make me feel very safe as a guest.

well to be 100% fair, the worst that'll happen now that its 1 train ops, is overshoot the station and latch up on the lift, cant run in to another train again, if there's no other train on the track

If they’re operating one train, you won’t see collision issues. 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.

That's fair, but it makes you wonder what else is wrong with the ride. 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.

Banshee having it's greatest operating season so far.

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.

Just combine the two and make the tallest, fastest only wooden invert on the planet!

And design it in-house, since it worked so well last time!
