It was running on reduced capacity monday the 2nd. (two arms out of action) so I assume those are the ones that were taken off, seems its back open now though, though unsure if full capacity
Road it monday just gone myself for the first time, had two rides, both of which I assume was on the same train as it was rattly as hell. Also came off with a banging headache, I thought to myself how is this ride only a year old. Don't give me wrong, still a great ride, just not re-rideable in its current state for me at least on one of the trains.
wasn't it to do with a new control system allowing indivudual sets of restraints to be unlocked rathern than the entire front or back of the train if guest faff happened
Still think its kind of stupid that they scrapped the whole viewing area plaza, sure the ride isn't themed but at least it would've made a nice vibe around the area but no
Its dispatched like any other coaster iirc,( take it with a grain of salt) once the 'start ride' button is pressed after an all clear, (two buttons, I think)
it begins the sequence of whatever it does, catch car, brake fins, audio, lights, launch, (might not be in that order) all in one sequence, its all programmed in, however what I don't know is how the 'blind launch' works with no audio/lights
Crazy to think a few years ago it was constantly in pieces and everyone thinking it was the end of the road for it.
that being said it's only been open once in 8 times I've visited in the past 3 years.
Really do hope they make it virtually identical to Chessington, though, pure red would just look off.
