I need to know how many light bulbs are on The Condor.
Someone once told me that it has more bulbs on it than any other amusement park ride.
Also if any one knows haw many are on The Orbit I could use that too.
Thanks

How the heck would we know how many lights are on a ride? Unless one of you does in which case insert foot in mouth.
What the heck kind of question is that? I haven't sat in line for Condor long enough to count them (actually, I don't think I have ever waited in line for Condor period), nor have I EVER been that desperate for something to do. Unless it's in a book somewhere, I don't think anyone else has ever been that bored either.
Welcome to ShockWave please pull your harness down as far as it will go. While riding ShockWave please keep your hands and feet inside the car, and your head against the headrest, please hold on to all loose articles, especially hats and glasses. Enjoy your ride!
As a science and semi-math teacher, I can tell you that you could just use estimation. (It does work you know). Estimate how big a lightbulb is on the tower and then figure out how tall the tower is. That'll give you a good guess on a number of lightbulbs running the tower (all sides of it). Estimate how many are in a certain area on each arm and multiply as needed. Same goes for the cars. You won't get an exact answer, but if you're dedicated enough, you can do it!
It does get worse. My students have had to estimate how many books were in a library, how many piano tuners were in a town and so on. It's actually a good way to teacher measurement conversion. But, I'm probably boring you all now. No homework for anyone!
Well Condor is 88 feet tall.
Considering Condor, it probably does just considering the tower, the cars, and the top parts of each arm along that middle part.
Condor doesn't have NEARLY as many lights on it as most big rides. The Modial Top Scan, or Huss Top Spin (european version like SFNE) have MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more lights on them.
The dippin dots guy told me Condor has apporximately 8,319 lights on it.
Why would anyone NEED to know something like that? 
^I have OCD when I get somthig in my head I have to get an answer for it.
Any way I've spent two days trying to find this on the internet I know there is an answer for this it is not a corporate secret and some one here probably knows and is laughing at me right me 
No, No one here knows. I highly doubt that there is a soul on the planet who could tell you how many lights condor have. I'm betting the only statistic is tucked away in a file somewhere in the basement in the czech republic.
Seriously, why don't you call the park? Maybe maintenance can look it up for you or something. They must have some sort of manual to run the ride that would tell them.
Ha maintenance look it up yeah right I bet they would get right on it and look it up or hang up on you.
you smell
I'm just saying chances are that the park will know a lot more about the number of lights than we would.
Even I dont know this answer
But yeah, if you really really need to know, your best bet is to visit the park and track down someone in the electrictal department of maintaince and they'd likely know or would be able to provide a pretty educated guess. ALso make sure to at least let them know you need it for a school project or something like that, not just some coaster nerd looking for information that will never get them laid Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder

REALLY? The Churro guy told me the Condor has 8,320 light bulbs. It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
Kinda like you then huh?
There are exactly 8,642.5 light bulbs on the ride. The .5 is a broken light bulb near the top of the tower.
Send an email to HUSS. They'd probably know.
I can't just take your word on that could you tell me how you know, please
He doesn't, it was a joke. No one here knows. I doubt anyone at the park or huss has this statistis memorized. Get over your not-OCD, because you're not getting the answer.
Okay so i just got off the Phone with Great America
And they told me that there are 12,750 lights on Condor, And that everyday during the season they replace 40 to 60 lights on the ride. Also they mentioned that the electricity used to power Condor could power 6 houses! They also mentioned that 84% of all statistics are made up Last edited by Galvan on September 23rd, 2005, 9:42 pm, edited 2 times in total.
Wow.
They also mentioned that 84% of all statistics are made up
Yeah, basically thats the kind of info I'm loaded with, damn technically orientated brain that only absorbs the useless facts Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
