Ragin Cajun has been disassembled

So it’s on its way to SFadv? Good, as I never thought it was going to return. There is a reason it left. And frankly, the last thing Great Adventure needs is another low capacity ride. Make it make sense lol.

Sky Trek Tower's Cabin was damaged by the recent high winds.

Does the park leave it up there the whole off-season? I thought they brought it down. If they do bring it down, then whoever left it up there's an idiot.

It’s left up there when not operating to prevent the cables from smacking the tower. Giant Drop is the same. If you’re there at close you can see maintenance raise it up.

It does come down on occasion, for maintenance and other reasons. To say it was idiotic to leave it up there is just pure ignorance. It's done on purpose to keep the cables out of the elements and under tension. You'd be surprised how much wear cables smacking against the tower does.

It's not just an off season thing either, it happens on windy days where STT and Giant Drop are forced to close. Staff is trained to listen and look for the cables smacking the tower.
