April 18, 200620 yr Any idea what was wrong with TRTR on monday? I was there and they had the line entrance closed and the actual ride entrance's door closed.
April 18, 200620 yr It was open on Sunday. We rode it mid afternoon. I don't know if it went down after we were on it or not.
April 18, 200620 yr It was open Sunday as CoasterRZ and I gave it a spin around 1:00pm. It went down right after we rode it!
April 18, 200620 yr Maybe they were just short-staffed on Monday due to school, even though that seems like a ride they'd keep open even on a limited operation day. Just a thought.
April 18, 200620 yr I'm sure if there was any huge mechanical reason that they would have to close it for an indefinite amount of time, the park would say something about it...like when Delirium went down for a while last year.
April 18, 200620 yr Why does the park need to release what is happening on each of its rides? Possibly this is a minor issue and they are awaiting parts. Nothing spectactular.
April 19, 200620 yr Author THe main reason I asked is because they had a few people (just the normal ops, I assume) standing at the entrance to the line - generally not something that would be labor-effective if it were down for more than a few runs. On a side note, do parts for huss rides like TRTR and Delirium have to be shipped from germany, or is there some US location?
April 19, 200620 yr I believe they have to be shipped from Germany. When Skylab was having problems in 1991, they actually shipped the whole ride to Germany for repair. Then with Delilirum last year, they had to get the park sent to them. I'm sure with minor parts that PKI has extra on hand. But probably the major parts would have to be ordered.
