(sings)If you want to be my Chang-y, doesn 't matter if your black or white, or brown, or blue, or green, or red, or orange, or mauve, or yellow... 2010 trips- Dollywood, SFGAm, maybe SoCal
It seems to me that the purpose here is for people to talk about SFGAm and be able to read and learn stuff about it. It shouldn't matter how old the topic is, its still an interesting part of the SF history that someone may be interested in. If you think its dumb, then how hard is it to simply....not read it?! If you don't know something and wanna know it, ask, otherwise whats the point of a forum??
I was at the park today, and was eating lunch by the karaoke stage (terrible idea), and I noticed that sometimes the blue train would gradually slow down about 3/4's of the way up the lift. It would take maybe another 30-45 seconds for the train to go over, and the red train was already in the helix. I was just wondering if this was normal, and not just really, really heavy trains.
poor wolfie rip ( hopewe get a neww bm wingrider for next year!11!
Its because one of the trains in the brake run did not clear a proximity switch before the other train had reached that point of the lift. I dont know why it happens so often on the blue side of Eagle, my guess would be its missing a tire in the brakes or the prox switches are out of place. The crew should know to wait a little longer before sending the train though.
Were the tires part of the breaks originally or a way to get the trains to move again once the breaks released? And if it was the second one, how'd they make work without the tires?
