I thought Les Mis was a load of tripe, especially when Amanda Burdenous appeared and the whole love triangle angle appeared... Also, Russel Crowe and quite frankly the worst attempt at a revolution ever... #uneducatedlout

http://www.ridetimes.co.uk/ is actually wonderful for keeping track of open/closed rides...

A MUSLIM DAY?!!!!!111 [/OUTRAGE]

So this was down all day... This photo might show why... *TTF It's gonna be one of THOSE years isn't it?

It is open (at the time of posting)... In addition, Oblivion has NO queue

So basically, like with the Superman's before it, the person was probably over the recommended size limit and due to the negative g's was flung out of the ride... A sad, but expected end to this incident...

Nope, just the patience to stand in a long and boring queue whilst you watch Fastrack and Forwards people get on quickly...

Apparently it was all ready to go on Monday, but required signing off... Not the weeks of death and destruction some people were proclaiming it would mean to the ride... I would say it would take them longer to access it at the very least than the 2 hours for Swarm because of the tightness of the area, so from the incident to Monday being fixed up makes sense imo... EDIT - It's reopened... Panic over lads!

Apparently the reason Gerstlauer have been called is to basically say "She's good to go" after a quick check... Of course, the problem is that they're currently dealing with a slightly more serious matter in Texas... So unsurprisingly, the issue itself was dealt with pretty damn quickly, just like Swarm's was... Just getting the company to sign it off is the issue...

I'm more interested to find out WHAT Gerstlauer have been called tbh...

School days </3 Hateful, hateful days apart from the first and last hours...

Plus most foreign countries have air con everywhere... Every building in America is like a freezer...

And 1 train op... So, Fastrack?

A new 'Trooper Bear' apparently... *Theme Park Collective

Length of Hero - 1'282.8ft Length of Smiler - 3'838.6ft Length of Swarm - 2'543ft Let's not compare 2/3 months of construction against rides that are bigger and longer and hence have more to consider ok?

The trains for the Intamin multi-looper are testing!

From what I was told from an aerospace engineer one bolt is the case, just as a precaution in case of the engine catching fire for whatever reason... #weirdengineeringfacts

I think Six Flags use Q-Bot... Which is insanely expensive and is constantly linked up to the park's database to limit numbers... Q-Bot is a very decent system imo from when I used it at Heide Park as well...

One bolt holds a plane engine to the wing... Temperature shock is the most likely cause yes, especially given the severe temperature change we've had since Friday... EDIT - One hell of a close up from TST...

Heat expansion on the metal is the issue here, with the built up pressure already existing within the structure built up to cause the bolt to sheer (as designed when embracing high levels of stress/strain) and ping off into the sunset... New bolt, bit of cool-down and I'd imagine we'll be alright to go... As Sidders said, the best comparison are the warping train lines...

Intamin clearly jealous that other ride manufacturers were stealing their murder thunder... [/tasteless joke] Regarding Texas, if the Superman incidents are anything to go by, size might mean the difference... Though staff not checking physically is another thing to consider (especially at Six Flags where it's all visual because in reality, it's all you really need)...
