Strange to think I was only riding it three days ago and this happened's! :unsure:

It's hard to explain by word but it's basically ends up being two parts going in opposite directions, hence why one end will be left out in the open...

It's yet another black mark on Intamin's record... Maybe they should move onto mass producing LSM launches now? More iSpeeds less snapping cables...

Thing is, the last Hydraulic launch was built 3 years ago... Maybe Intamin just realised that the system is potentially flawed with nearly 50% of the total 14 currently in operation have had some form of incident...
