April 10, 201213 yr comment_136058 Lap bars not locking isn't a major issue, just slows everything down, Depends whether they lock during the actual ride...
April 12, 201213 yr comment_136186 I noticed a bucket collecting oily, grime stuff as it dripped from the big silver cylinders (are they the air pressure tanks? I'm no engineering genius guy) yesterday. Needless to say the bucket was about 2/3 full and this was at about 4:00pm. I doubt it is supposed to leak so I'm guessing the dripping is a minor problem too?
April 18, 201213 yr comment_136542 Rush started the day running both swings but by about 4(ish) the one nearest the control booth was down. I may have imagined this but the other swing felt a lot more forceful.
April 2, 201312 yr comment_155530 Personally I think rush is too short, you only get about 3 full swings
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155571 Personally I think rush is too short, you only get about 3 full swings I agree with you it is too short at least 5 full swings it needs we all know it won't go back to the 7-9 swings
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155572 An extra 2 swings is so insignificant compared to loading and launching time though!
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155574 Does anyone know what is wrong with RUSH recently? It First started on two swings then got so badly out of sync, so it went to one swing?
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155575 Does anyone know what is wrong with RUSH recently? It First started on two swings then got so badly out of sync, so it went to one swing? ONE SWING!! That is not even worth going on unless you get to stay on for another ride...
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155582 ONE SWING!! That is not even worth going on unless you get to stay on for another ride... He means one working swing... As in where you sit...
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155587 Rush is clearly having quite a few problems this year (surprising as Slammer has yet to have a major one *touches all wood around*). I wouldn't be surprised if the shorter ride cycle is to try and lower maintanence issues. Strangely, the one swing that is working is the one that takes longer to stop.
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155598 On saturday both swings were working fine, but at the end one takes longer to stop, the one nearer to the control box.
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155599 After visiting yesterday, it was obvious to a lot of people who saw it being tested with both swings in the early morning that there is a big problem with it's 2nd swing. Whilst the other was working perfectly fine (in terms of speed, height and sync) the other was performing horribly. The 2nd swing didn't even reach 90 degrees at it's maximum height, instead, it only reached about 70 degrees instead, whilst the other swing was reaching about 100-110 degrees. Because of this, the testing sequences were horribly out of sync too. Whilst this isn't a new problem with Rush (as it was partially noticable last year) this is without doubt the lowest maximum swing angle I have ever seen on Rush. Since this problem wasn't solved last closed season and was performing terribly yesterday, I won't be surpirsed if Rush will mostly run on one swing for the next few months. (Also, why are the queueline speakers silent again when they worked fine last year? Wrong topic, but thought I'd point it out.)
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155601 So was rush testing with 2 swings yestoday and only running with 1? And is it the one thats closest to the control box not working? On saturday it closed for about 10 mins because it broke down, still ran with 2 trains after though.
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155607 Yep, both swings were being tested in the early morning, but once opened only 1 was running all day. No, it's the swing near the air gates that was closed all day and was having severe diffculties last morning and during last year.
April 3, 201312 yr comment_155608 Good to hear its more forceful though just wish the cycle was a bit longer!
April 4, 201312 yr comment_155695 It was testing on two swings. I didnt look at the angles of them but they looked normal
April 4, 201312 yr comment_155823 It was open today. I saw it on one swing in the afternoon but I think it was on two swings in the morning - not too sure though.
April 4, 201312 yr comment_155825 It tested on two swings in the morning but was only open on one. When it was open it barely reached 90 degrees too.
