PKIVortex Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Have you all noticed that AE only runs with 2 trains. I think this has been happening for the past few seasons. When I was a ride op on AE back in '99 we still ran all 3 trains. Is the 2 train operation do to low ridership. When we used to run 3 trains we still brought in a pretty good line. When I was in the park on June 5th, a Saturday, the line was only in the station. Is something happening with AE that we don't know yet? I mean with most of the theming either not working, and I noticed alot of lights burnt out the last time I rode it, lift 2 for sure. Could AE be the next coaster to go? Just think with that land, and the former land of the Cobra hmmmm I could see a pretty good size coaster going in. What do you all think?

RollerCoasterUSA Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 it's always run 3 trains when i've gone.. even if it is has only been 2 i've always had a walk on so it's not like it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Adventure Express just got refurbished. All the theming works including anamatronics, lights and sound. Infact, new theming has been added to it. I strongly recommend riding the Adventure Express at night. With all the new and colorful lighting its become Disney quality. Please note that the last hill has not been fixed up yet. So just close your eyes and pretend its not there for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylab Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I love AE! Don't be fooled by its small stature, it's a great ride. I look forward to seeing the refurbishment this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 AE used to be my favorite ride, I'm glad to hear that they've restored the lighting effects. That's great that they refurbished it too, I've never gotten to see it with most of the animatronics and effects working. Now if only they could place some foggers or something to the beginning of the ride(I realize they can't use mist due to the track rusting). Great job PKI!

Vortexlover2 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I know the reason. I was on the ride when I found out. The 3rd car always stoped on the last hill (inside the tunnel) it was really freaky. My sister was the most freaked out, because she was in the back seat. Thank goodness I sat in the middle. I was on the ride at the time. This was in 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx2cansamxX Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I work at PKI. I don't work at Adventure Express but I got sent there one day, and I remember the sup that trained me there told me that we had to hurry when we were checking restraints because if we are to slow then the 3rd train gets stuck on the 2nd lift. So I know that AE is running 3 trains nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
