in an E-stop or any sort of stop really, the entire flume drains. I've been on Yankee Clipper when that happened, we got stopped at the gate at the bottom of the lift, then a few boats rear ended us, and next thing you know you're sitting on the bottom of a dry trough. Which is why I dont get why everyone makes so much drama every time they see a water ride drained. It takes like 2-3 minutes to drain and less than 5 min to fill again.

The troughs also drain in the event of a power outage. Ride stops station stops and trouble lights do not drain the trough though.
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
Like the ride was going, and the water level went all the way down, and there was no water, and then we just sat there for an hour.
I have also gotten stuck on the Yankee Clipper but not when the water drained. Me and my friends were about to go up the second lift and we hit another boat.

Not if you sterilize it in one of the bathrooms and use soap...

No, you use the straw in the dirt to find worms, so that you don't have to pay for lunch and you don't have to walk to burger king.

Or you could use the straw to drink the juice/sweat that is collected in the storm drain in the B:TR que.

You got that right. How does that even happen these days? 13 Years with SFGAm World!
It is by far safer to stack the boats in the holding pond rather than stopping them on the course.
That situation was handled correctly. Licensed Mechanical Engineer
Its designed to do that, at Roaring Rapids also if there is an e-stop the rafts that are past the tunnell will go into the storage resevior where the rafts are chained to wall and evacuated.
Speaking of Roaring Rapids and the two other water rides, about how long does it take to fill them up? Especially the first time they are to be open for the season? Any estimates on how many gallons of water it takes?

It takes like 2 minutes to fill Rapids up in the morning.
 That's it?! Why drain it every night anyway?13 Years with SFGAm World!
Theres another storage res behind the ride where the water is stored every night. Like all rides, they inspect it in the morning before running it plus having water in the trough 24/7 would corrode it and cause breakdown.
To fill up the holding pond usually takes 1-2 days.

Do they really go back under the rides to look for your stuff? Has anyone actually gotten them to go and they found it? I can't imagine losing something important, telling them to go find it when the park is closed and then go back all the way to Gurnee when they found it...camera, phone, wallet, etc.
