Fred Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Vampire at a push can get 1100, just needs 6 platformers, ensuring only 2 guests per gate and taking all bags and undoing buckles. But it happened a couple of times when I was there.Though usually its bout 950ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it happened a couple of times when I was there.Though usually its bout 950ish.What positions though?I presume Onload 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, Offload 1-6, 6-12 and an Exit Monitor?

Benin Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 It would most likely be back in 07/08 when we had 3 on either side all doing restraints and 8-12 Offload doing exit as well...Exit Monitors only really came about last year on Vampire... Mainly due to the epic busyness of it all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James6 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 If that is where you mean, I've never noticed a smell But sometimes the bins in the queue have been rather pongy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Isn't there a mirror beside the break run so that the ride ops can see around the corner?Never noticed a smell, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpeparkjack Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Okay serious question here! What is the throughput of fury? I don't mean max or what is stated by Maurer, I mean realistcally on a summer day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Okay serious question here! What is the throughput of fury? I don't mean max or what is stated by Maurer, I mean realistcally on a summer day?650 is about the maximum if there are no hold ups and the ride has no errors. It's more likely to get 600 an hour though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpeparkjack Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Okay thanks alot Mark. Also, how many cars would that invovle running 7 or 8? I heard the system doesn't like 8 cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Thats on 7 cars. The ride can run 8 cars but it makes it far more likely for a block shutdown if for instance, an alignement gate went or an error on one of the drives. It really hates 9 cars though and refuses to run normally.Generally, one car is being refurbished in the maintenance sheds and another car is on the transfer track in case a car already on the track starts to misbehave.

Benin Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hint - It's not the side you got on...And the control cabin is not the exit...And it helps not to panic when you realise you're an idiot...Oh Fury...

Kevin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Issues that would have lead to guest experience being damaged...Hence why it wasn't sold.Common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Issues that would have lead to guest experience being damaged...Hence why it wasn't sold.Common sense.So either...(1) It shut/died at some point...or (2) Overly busy and possible chances of over-selling them...
