The track stuff is cos Gerst are weird and set the footers after putting the track in place... Therefore it always looks forced into place rather than pretty much every other company... It's not of course an unsafe version of putting rides together mind, must be more cost effective/easier since...
Staff shouldn't have phones (apart from management), and you need to do it through the proper channels, otherwise you might end up with several people phoning up for the same thing...
Can't blame the park for following their emergency procedure...
Not really, because they state that they have to judge the incident first before contacting the services so:
- Control get phone call
- Control dispatch staff to the area to gather information
- After reports, they'll call 999
10 minutes to do all that is probably about average based off their...
I believe Varney has motioned towards that they want to check all the coasters to see if it's an issue solely with Smiler or could be potentially repeated on Nemesis/Air/etc... Oblivion is a potential hazard with that brake run as an example...
Bearing in mind some of the recent over-reactions...
I think they're just being sensible and going along the route of proving to the public that they've checked the entirity of the park to prove that it is safe...
Give them credit, the way they've dealt with this in the aftermath has been good...

It does cover the Knot (CAM 9) area, but of course whether they had noticed prior to dispatching the loaded train is another matter... Operators do have enough to focus on without keeping an insanely...

Bearing in mind that this is the image they posted, and their readership tend to be insanely idiotic at the best of times:
It could be a mixture of both, but the ride op should be able to safely assume that the ride's system is always correct...
Ride system should've automagically stopped the train on the lift hill, but it didn't...
From what I can establish:
- Ride has broken down
- Trains are cycled empty to test, operator/manager/engineer agree to reopen
- Train valleys
- Train behind is dispatched at this time, unfortunately by the time the valley has been noticed they are unable to prevent the train from continuing...
5 creds currently, although Coaster Count's current Happy Caterpillar listed cred is incorrect and was a normal Wacky Worm...
Spiteful place, and it's very depressing to visit since I'd not been since the initial closure...
I didn't realise how fast Mushroom was spinning on Skyforce, that's actually amazing <3
Good day out, top banter, bit cheeky too, what you want from a Live...
I was saying Boo-urns...
Hollywood appealing to the Asian market is literally having scenes in one of their countries, often for random reasons... Iron Man 3 and Transformers being the main examples... Then there's Wolverine.......
