I'm aware. Just musing out loud. Didn't mean you for one. Was thinking like someone leaving for school and not planning to return, posting anonymously... Surprisingly few leaks, which I guess says something about the company.

Sure wish a friendly ride op would spill the beans on the reason for the long closure. Or the source of the regular breakdowns. Like Saturday night ~ 9:15 when it went down, then at 9:30 needed a test run, soon followed by closed for the night. Or why rows 8 and 9 are closed, so only running...

Please delete the others too.

Still could be a bad combination or even some as yet unreported issue with the cars. Sure, they are basically the same, but there could be some difference that's not readily apparent. Whatever it is, they are not even doing test runs. They must be waiting of something.

It's the first use of Velocity Magnetics system to power it all. They recently filed a patent for using blanks of capacitor to store energy for the launch and generative braking. Together they reduce the instantaneous demands on the utilities. Without it you either need mechanical storage...

Elsewhere someone posted a park employee claimed there was a delay on the parts and they just arrived.

I think it's grainy because of the zoom. I think it might have been shot from the exit of River Rampage which gives the appearance that was taken inside Rockin' Roadway. Word from DW is an electric motor overheated. http://www.local8now.com/content/news/D ... 31761.html...

Hearing reports of night rides last night. Man, I wish that had started Friday instead.

My 12 yr old loved it as well

Pete was noncommittal, but appeared confident they are close.

Hard to say. If so not a big turn out. But before rides started Pete was doing an on camera interview.

Oh yeah, the ride was great. All that's been claimed by more elegant writers than I.

Just rode. 3rd tran of the day. Letting ~100 in the queue at a time. Started about noon. Only one train for now, Might run 2 later, wanted to get going earlier Lots of cameras around. Park reps filming after ride interviews. Some news crews too. I saw ABC from Knoxville, was told MSNBC as...

Crap, I missed Hixee's post that states most of what I did, but in more detail. Looks like you may be onto something there. http://www.freshpatents.com/-dt20150402 ... 091478.php They specifically mention high current service (1kA+) and flywheel generators as existing alternatives to their...

No pedestal, just we think different. I'm reminded of that all the time by my non-engineer friends (not always in a good way) And I think you are wrong, some of us will still care what went wrong and why.

Butthurt has nothing to do with it. It's interest in the engineering and business decisions. Maybe you're not an engineer and don't get it. Most of us (engineers) want to know and understand things at a level of detail normal people don't get.

Winter check-in and no heat. Which one?
