Does anybody even know why some RMCs only allow the ride ops to push down the lap bars? It's a bit confusing, unless it was for safety after the NTG incident.

It's where the belts sit under the restraint. They cant see it with it down.

Yeah. In the end no one got hurt, they were at least able to get the ride back up and running despite only running one train. Maybe if they actually let us pull down our own lap bars, that'll speed up the dispatches. Did you get to ride it back row? Back row is nuts. I knew I was in for it when I went over those small bunny hops before the lift and got airtime lol

I was able to ride it in the 2nd from last row and yes, I can safely say, that was insanity.

Some people said that the drop is the weakest element on the ride but I thought it was pretty powerful. My stomach just absolutely dropped and I loved it. It will probably remain my favorite row once I ride it front just because you don’t know what’s going on. Did you hit a violent part when it exited the last inversion? That actually kinda hurt a bit lol

It's partially this. Another part of it has to do with the computer system. When the operator locks the restraints(so that you can't push them back up anymore), none of the restraints can be down, or else the computer flags that car as 'unchecked' so you need to completely re-open all of those lapbars before checking them. It's tedious and annoying, but it's in place in the name of safety.

Best reaction I've seen and heard so far of SV lol

The amount of Fury 325 fanboy shirts we saw on opening weekend was staggering.

It actually decreased my desire to go back to Carowinds to finally take a spin on Fury.

After experiencing a vehicle launch at a manufacturing facility, I'm absolutely not surprised that the ride is still having teething problems and I can only imagine how everything went when they first fired up the ride in late March. It was certainly six weeks of urgency and panic. And coffee...there must have been so much coffee.

I wrote my review in my 2018 trip report thread. Tl;dr I thought it was outstanding...but please READ MOAR HERE:

So Steel Vengeance is now no longer on Fast Lane Plus which I find pretty stupid. Of course this has to happen the week before I go screwing me over. Oh well let's see if they add it back after this weekend.

Honestly I'm fine with this. It sucks for people who pre-bought Fast Lane (People do that?) but it's the brand new big ride. Nothing feels worse then extending your wait because you can't afford an upgraded surcharge and others can.

Also the fastlane with this ride was a pretty big **** show last weekend so I'm not entirely shocked it's been removed either. Especially if they are still doing 1 train ops...

@Howie has pre-booked as he got a combo entrance deal.
Not gonna lie, I would prefer this was on it as we will only be there for a day and a 2 hour queue will mean he only gets one ride, as he needs all the creds.

Well the good news, all the other rides are still available so you'll have plenty of time.

First of all, I absolutely do not need Wilderness Run (looking at you, lofty

) secondly there's the morning ERT which might afford us an extra lap or 2, but mainly it's still over 4 weeks til we're actually there, so hopefully they will have sorted some of this shizzle out by then.

I have a feeling they will. We're literally 3 days into the season. Hell, FP may be restored by the time of the Live. And as noted, getting all the OTHER creds is the hard part and getting 2-3 laps on it will be nice.

DelPiero · May 10, 2018

We can totally send him off to get the Mine Ride, Woodstock and Iron Dragon by himself anyway, but I need the ORP of Wilderness Run. Best merch ever.

Lofty · May 10, 2018

You absolutely need Wilderness Run. You just do. It's Intamin's first coaster FFS.

This, it's history @Howie. You have to get it.

I have no ulterior motive whatsoever...

I apologize to everyone who waited in line with me last weekend for going on an economic rant for how ineffective the Fast Lane program is. Good move, I say.

I also wrote up my own trip report from the week - including GIFs! http://www.coasterforce.com/forums/...ned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-goon.42519/

I'll do Wilderness Run, if you do a Windseeker.

No ****ing chance.

And it's your loss if you don't do it man, it is one you should get, no jokes.

Lofty · May 10, 2018

Windseeker is the absolute worst, isn't it @LiveForTheLaunch
