Trip Report 6/28/05

Postby danieln84 on June 28th, 2005, 9:54 pm
American Eagle almost fell out of the Ending brakes

You know right before you go down the hill/curve and into the station. well right before that, there is a small break. well it BROKE HARD and the train slowing made its way down the hill, picked up speed but didnt get far enough into the return brakes and when the brakes cought. we thought the ride was over, BUT when the brakes released to let us roll into the station....we didnt roll. TURNS OUT the train never completely made it up the hill. but just enough so that it WOULDNT Roll back....got me a Exit pass as a consalation.....yay for me

WAHOO RACERS were still closed. they completely REMOVED the SUPPORTS for the 2 MIDDLE racers. do they plan on not having them? whats the deal

Lines were pretty short. Batman was about 20 min the first time and 5 the next. Deja vu was about 35, american eagle was 5, vipor 10min, giant drop WALKON. IT WAS HOTT, went on Roaring Rapids 2 times, Loggers run, and then Ice Mountain. It was hott, but went good

P.S. Sorry for any Grammer/Spelling Typing Errors. im just reallly tired

In the Wahoo Racer thread, they stated that they are trying to fix them. They didn't install them just to remove them. People were getting stuck because they didn't have enough speed.

I'm a little confused about your American Eagle story. So, the trim breaks just before the last helix were on too tight which slowed the train. As the train exited the last helix and onto the final break run, the set of trims caught too soon so the train wouldn't roll into the station?

I was also there today for a few hours. It was a nice day. Not crowded in the Regular park at all. (HH hit capacity) I hit most major things.

Batman: Five minute wait.
V2: Walk on
Superman: About 'til Lois' sign
Cajun: One Switchback
Eagle: Walk on
Viper: About five minutes
Whizzer: Stairs
Demon: Walk on

^Those are the only coasters I went on.
I didn't notice very much today that was different (Except the Wahoo story)

But I have a parade story for Love at First Fright Fans:
It was David's (Drak's) night off from the parade and he sat next to me. I didn't talk to him or anything but he kept talking to the cast and crew (He obvisouly came to see them) It was kind of funny.

nice blinks, my friend is good friends with the cast, and so she's talked to some of the last year LAFF people and stuff. i love seeing the few cast members from the show up there, not in their LAFF costumes, and having a great time in the Jumpin Jammin Jubilee. It's just fun... :)

It was a fun time yesterday. I still think its funny that people on this website think that D Vu' is a miracle worker. It broke down numerous times yesterday. Good phrase was, "Its a bird, its a plane, no its you on Superman Ultimate Flight."

Its so different seeing all these new faces on a Tuesday compared to another day. The D Vu' crew at towards the better part of the night was soooooooooo slow.

It has it's good days and it's bad days. This year however the good days seem to be outnumbering the bad days. I still have not heard the downtime spiel this year and have been there alot.
