Infernus Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 As Marc has said, I'm also able to add that to my breakdown count, I was sitting infront of him.. God, I attend on the ride for one day, Try to get one ride in on the next day, and it breaks down.. Oh well, Tis' an awesome ride nonetheless..

Con Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Stealth broke down 3 times in front of me yesterday. Once we got priority passes and another time we had to evacuate the area.Admin Edit: Please check you're posts before confirming them, the amount of typing errors in this posts could have been avoided.

MChappy Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I got stuck on the rumba rapids when one boat pushed ours into the rocks onthe 2nd to last corner and we got stuck on top of the rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 That sounds rather...insane. You sure it wasn't just getting stuck between the rocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richy2001 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 technically I didnt get stuck, but I was on vortex and it was swinging at the highest point, and usually it slows down really quickly from there, but they made an announcement that it might take a while for it to stop as the controls for stopping it had failed?wierd, but we got to ride it, like 3 times longer than everyone else so I wasnt complaining!

James Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Seems to be a common occurance on Vortex now. I'm pretty sure that can happen on Rush as well. Not so good on Vortex if you don't like spinning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think when that type of breakdown happens, the spinning stops.Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did see that happen once, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy2001 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 yeah it does, the spinning slows down, but does not stop altogether and the arm swings for ages . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 All power just stops so only momentum would keep it spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy2001 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 yeah, thats true, but the spinning does generally stop quite fast after the power goes, maybe 2 or 3 swings, but vortex continues to swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDLewry Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I got stuck on samurai once..... it failed to lower so it kept swinging around... I felt quite sick... and I got on stealth and it did a roll back!!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!! and I got stuck on rush.... when the lap bar refused to raise!

Wtf Is Hyperventilating Anyway?!?!We were on the back carridge so we had to get off last.. Not as high BUT freezing cold. It previously broke down when we were queing and we got fast tracks..
