I've heard the ride is down for mechanical reasons currently, and maint. is working on the issue, whatever it may be. Just what I'm hearing, not exactly positive. I at first heard the ride wasn't certified for '14, and I forgot to check controls for the '14 sticker on it, but that can be checked this week.

Intamins...

I saw the catch car moving up and down the tower a few times during Media Day so I was hoping it would open. There were even ride ops over there for awhile. Hopefully it is nothing serious.

It was open on employee day...

I rode it.

Maybe not the best idea to disclose that information.

Maybe mechanic12 can't find the entrance to Drop Tower.

If it was open on employee day but not open to the public, then that would suggest to me that it either encountered a mechanical problem after employee day, or that it indeed has not been certified by the state yet (since IIRC, rides do not need to be certified to be ridden by employees, only by the public).

He would actually be looking for the exit to Drop Tower. When mechanics fix rides they enter through the exit, and when they inspect rides they enter through the entrance.

Maybe they should consider hiring more mechanics?

Maybe they should assign designated footpaths.

Hope it's running this weekend. I need my big droppy fix!

Only in the first two games. I am almost certain they use the entrance in RCT3.

Anyone else have a really bad feeling that RCT4PC won't have the same feel as 1, 2, and 3? I know i will NEVER get the mobile version of 4, that is for sure, and will probably wait for reviews after the PC version comes out before i get it, if i ever do.

Big Droppy Thing is an attraction at New Jersey's Finest Theme Park. That attraction opens Memorial Day Weekend. It's rather attached to Ka, I hear. Also, Big Droppy Thing (or Zumanjaro) is a better name than Drop Tower, or so I've heard.

Root Beer 4 does not fit the scenery.

Love that name, it's perfectly fitting for this type of attraction.

Just not sure where I heard it.

Hmmmmm.......

Drop Tower is still closed... Went today.

I'm not paying that much for Chicken Shack 1!

You have won the award for the best toilets in the country...

I hope the park inspector doesn't yell at me for my free park maps being too cheap.

Why has this thread turned into Roller Coaster Tycoon?

(Not that I'm complaining, mind you. )

A cliffhanger? How fitting.

Train and Wind Seeker weren't running yesterday either.

We went today and Drop Tower still sat with the lift carriage at the top. WindSeeker was down most the afternoon but they said it was due to the winds. It did open in the evening.

My guess is that something wasn't right and the ride inspector didn't give the green light to allow the ride to operate

That's what we are trying to figure out. Why?

My friend knows a bunch of employees and told me DT is waiting on a part and won't open til mid May

The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized.

Pssh mid May? I know a guy down the street that could have it running in an hour using only a coat hanger and some duct tape. It'd only cost us $10 and a 12 pack. I'll give him a call.

Edit: Sorry no dice. I gave Dale a call but he's still on house arrest.
