If V2 got stuck

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Good afternoon,
If V2 Got stuck going up on on the track how would they get people off? Would they have to call the Fire department or would the park be able to evacuate people themselves? Or would it be a combination of booth? Thank you and happy April I man February.

Do you mean being stuck in the launch area? They just unload the train there. Otherwise what you are asking physically impossible.

There's a magical thing called "Gravity" that can help with this. ;)

But V2 has gotten stuck before. The brakes deployed too early, standing the train in the launch area. They E-Stop the ride, then turn the magnets on to slowly reverse the train into the station.

Fire Department would have to be called, but it would take a major catastrophic event/failure for the train to get stuck anywhere other than the flat launch/station track. Even with it being Intamin I wouldn't worry about that.

What you're talking about is not physically possible while in proper operating status. The only thing I can think of is something along the lines of Demon in 1998. A wheel would have to fall off proving enough friction to stall the train on a spike.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P
