Rode it today, still not happy with the earpiece/intercoms, it really does reduce the chat between hosts and riders, but that's another topic. Have seen this a few times, especially on Stealth where its just used for them to chat and comes across quite rude to guests. Definitely more useful on certain rides I think, saw a couple instances today they were really useful on Hyperia and do think the positives of them do outweigh the negatives overall.

Clearly we view that differently, though management believe their use has been to aid efficiency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I imagine we're looking at it being for the launch cable replacement, although they had usually got that down to a day. Guess we'll wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll wait and see! I thought it could be that, out of interest do you know why this isn’t done halfway through the season? Or do they have to do it a couple times during the season?

JoshC. Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 As far as I know, it's only done once a season. I don't know if there's a number, but it also makes sense to do it around now rather than July / August simply because the park is quieter and it affects less people. Doing it in summer would cause bigger issues / complaints Cal, ImLucifer and Angel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Are we certain it's a launch cable replacement or is it something else? Iirc they replaced the catch car before the start of the season as part of the Sparkle Project (or routine winter work) but not too sure.
