I'm not sure I would agree with that viewpoint.

My guess is that next season it'll be back open. If the ride still has problems it'll be closed again and probably removed. I'd rather it just be removed.. Rivertown could expand, and there will be no asian temples in a western town.

^But in the western town of Tazba, you have eastern boys and western girls.

Now that CF owns the park and is in the process of de-Paramountization, I think that maintaining TR:TR is not a priority.

Then what they have been doing with it all year?

There have been numerous reports that the themeing has been removed for repair and/ or replacement.

Obviously they are doing something.

And I do believe I remember someone saying that they lose the license to trtr and ijst next year.. so it could be a re-theme or they could just be repairing and re-newing the license next year.

Do all top spins break often, or is Tomb Raider special?

The last time I was at KD back in august TR:FF was stuck just short of the platform so I guess it's all top spins that suffer from frequent downtime.Zamperla's Roto-shake ride was also plauged by mechanical problems which led to their removal in just about every US park that had one.

BGE also had a ride similar to SFKK's Quake,known as Gladiator's Gauntlet & like Quake the ride suffered from frequent downtime which led to it's removal in the late 90's I believe.

Well none the less trtr has always seemed to have a lot of downtime these past few years

Ooo, you're so close...

Thanks for playing...

I think it would be cool to theme it as a fort and have a Cowboys and Indains ride.

That could be really cool they could turn that ugly box on the ouside into looking like a BIG FORT .. althought again thats a lot of money to do lol it would still be pretty nifty

Close to what? And I did not know I was playing.

Lol well evidently you were playing get with the program

If you ever watchign the Discorvy video they explained those noises.

He's not talking about the noise from the resistor banks. He means the noises from the ride unit itself. I agree the noises would seem odd to a random guest, however I think the fact that it's in a metal building makes it worse than it would be outside with ambient noise.

It could just be a Huss design/ engineering issue.

Look at both Delirium and Maxair. Both have had lengthy downtime issues.

Perhaps Huss is to flat rides as Intamin is to coasters?

Did Maverick and Millennium Force have lengthy downtime issues?

^ Depends on what your opinion of lengthy is.

Maverick's heartline.

MF's elevator cable has snapped a couple of times. As well as the main computer has blown at least once.

Etc.

But I was actually leaning more towards the early issues of WT, TTD, and KK.

With that I guess I will agree. Except for the fact that Intamin has not gone broke.

No Intamin is actually doing alright right now, not fantastic, but they are alright

Well they have installed all of those coasters for over $100 million total since 2000.

That is not exactly a bad 7 years.

They have also installed almost 50 coasters around the World in that same time span. With another 7 coming in 2008.

Apparently there are many parks that are not scared off from Intamin's recent operating issues.

I thought you were trying to quote "West End Girls" by The Pet Shop Boys. My bad if you weren't.

I bet he doesn't even know who The Pet Shop Boys ARE (j/k, Monroe...but if you don't, ask your daughter!)

The only things I buy on I-street are the brownies!

^ Uh, okay... And this has something to do with anything in this topic?

I don't know, it's seems everyone says something random at one point, and that was mine!

Those things weren't random, as will be seen in the future.

You'll look back and see the flight of fancy here was more than that.

^ If anyone were to correct me, I'm glad it's you.

Now I'm trying to interpret what The Interpreter has said. Does that make me the interpreter in this case? A paradox has just occured...

It's funny how quickly these threads get COMPLETLY off topic?

Again, there is more than a hint of the future here. . .

You're right. Looking back at recent posts, it looks like I'm the main culprit. Sorry everyone!
