there was a fire on the Illinois trollway on the 12th. someone threw up a cigarette into the camoflauge stuff and caughr it on fire. then the officials got a little bottle of water and almost put it out. don;t worry though because nothing bad happened. here is my video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QI8y2UJLp8

demon was stuck in the part right after it comes out of the tunnel. It was stuck in the brake-run before the turn into the corkscrews. does any one know why? Was it stopped on purpose? here is my very short video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ-dF95CzQU&feature=user

All coasters will eventually get caught on a block section, just a small mech. problem, nothing big at all.

It has enough speed to make it through the corkscrews, it is supposed to stop in the block brake if the computer senses (real or not) a train in the next block or a ride stop/emergency stop.

Yeah it has enough speed to get through the corkscrews, simple physics, the origin point is higher than teh end point

You can't really see anything, you can only hear "Something's on fire"

I have always wondered how slow the train goes after the MCBR on some rides.

I have seen a cycle on Raging Bull after a MCBR stop. It seriously looks like its going to roll back on the turn around by the first drop.

^ It might just be me, but B&Ms look like they are going a LOT slower than they actually are. So, it might have been going at just a fine speed to get through it though.

Haha, by fire and demon stuck, I was expecting like this huge fire, and demon like stuck in between corkscrews. Trains can be stuck at block breaks all the time.
