Existing Roller Coaster Apollo's Chariot

They don't intentionally fire at the track, their sole purpose is to mitigate impacts to wildlife (prevent another Fabio got goosed situation) - any water making it to the trains/riders from these cannons is purely incidental and not an intended effect to my knowledge.

when trains run faster or slower than designed, thats when your most likely to get hit by them because the timing of the cannons do not change with train speed
They don't spray the trains. They shoot off about the time the train reaches the top of the hill to help insure that the area is clear before it gets there
Interesting, according to Fabio the goose actually hit the camera instead of him🤔

To be fair, if a goose had hit Fabio in his face first and not hitting the camera, he would probably be dead.
Im pretty sure the goose died anyway
Trims we’re fine yesterday when we went, though the slamming at the brakes gave me flashbacks to Hypersonic.
Rode AC a total of 21 times today (C4K). Most of the morning trains were 50% full, afternoon trains were 90% full… and more heat. Trims we’re evident in the afternoon. Brake run was sporadic, I would say 3-4 “late” jolts of stopping.
Weather conditions could mean thunder and lightning within 20 miles. So it could be perfect at the park but not at great 20 miles away.
Yup that same system that spawned all those tornadoes last night just hit the Richmond area. It's probably from that.
I know but radar was/is clear. Also it used to be 10 miles many moons ago. Just really not having a pleasant experience right now. Some creep tried to walk behind my daughter on the Italy to Germany bridge. Not going into too much detail but sufficient to say my night is ruined.
Winds were gusting pretty hard 10 miles down the road most of the evening. I could easily see winds being high enough at Apollo's highest point to trigger a shut down.
