Well Gaming PCs which would be running the Vive often suffer heat issues and the choice to heat the trains cant be helping that. Often server farms are kept very cool and I doubt that each train is being kept at the right temperature. Which would mean each PC would really need water cooling which is expensive and I'm not sure if they would have splashed out the cash on 180 pcs to have decent water cooling.

 

There is a gaming PC per seat. They get extremely hot. 

 

There are plans being put into action to solve this with some modifications to the carriages, but dont know when they will be finished.

There's no solid fact that the carriage was a ride vechile and your friend probably isn't the most reliable source. 

Although, for all we know, it could've been a ride vechile and could now be testing. There's no way of knowing really.

As he is part of the thorpe maintenance team that is in overnight on the project I'd say he is....

The carriage that was outside is a ride vehicle. According to my friend it is now inside and in testing

Interestingly it isn't believed to be the 'new tech' that has been the issue but more certain contractors being extremely behind in their stages of the build

Il see what I can get out of my mate there

As we all know, the Smiler wasn't delayed until the day before official opening. 

I have a colleague that works on the park and it is widely known its very behind

There won't be an Annual rehearsal day

When I visited the park today the 'Arriving 6th May' sign has also gone, I'd expect it to be delayed
