Scariest thing in that picture is the boots with shorts
Whatever it was, it probably wasn’t anything major. Alpie is up and running as good as ever today!
Thank you BGW Maintenance Team!
the best thing you can do is cancel your pass and stop going.
Preach, brother. Otherwise all the bitching is useless.
Personally, haven't bought any season pass anywhere since 2019. Only real park I've been to is Storybook Land in NJ once a year these last couple years for the kids. Only SP we're considering in the next couple years is to Hersheypark. Have no intention in supporting any other park any time soon.
Looks like paint cracking to me. Almost certainly nothing worth mentioning.
Yeah, those have been there for a few years at this point.
If the steel were cracked, there would be streaks of rust visible. The black line appears to be some sort of paint marker. Most likely applied by an inspector marking the spot for NDT. The last photo looks like paint was stripped for a test that required bare steel, and was repainted with the wrong color.
If Alpie is going to tear herself apart, it's going to be at the cobra roll and not the top of the first drop.

HAPPY PRIDE! Have I told y'all I'm nonbinary?
Rode this the other day in the back row and it's the roughest it's ever been. Hurt like hell. Definitely disappointing to see it in this state, especially with how good a layout it has. As a contrast, I went to Invadr next and it was my smoothest ride on it. Wild. Hopefully they do some serious retracking to get it in better shape
Idk feels the same to me its been the last few years. I ride it like 5 times every 2 weeks. Invadr is getting worse imo. Maybe it's just end of the season maintence.
Was the train full? That severy effects ride quality.

No, I was the only one on the train. On Labor Day, too. Park was dead
Welp that deffiently played a part. All the coasters ride like dogshit on empty trains there. Griffion especially. When i rode griffon opening this season for the 1st time in many years it was empty and thought "good god wtf happened to this ride" but later when trains were filled it was a complete diff expierence
Was this in the morning or around closing time? I rode Alpie twice Labor Day and it was two train ops with smooth rides.

Experienced something new to me yesterday. While in line, an entire row of seats on the operating train weren't locking. They tried repeatedly to lock them but it wasn't happening and they had to eventually get a new train running. What causes this to happen?
Was it the train or the mechanism in the station?
If it’s the mechanism in the station the pneumatics probably weren’t properly working. If it was the train, likely the part that makes the contact with the mechanism in the station (the little lever with the wheel on it) wasn’t releasing far enough up and wasn’t allowing the row to properly lock.
I don’t actually know if that was the case but those are my guesses.
