Busch Gardens Malfunctions

[Mushroom]

Sort of a game... what would you do if a ride had a major malfunction? Like if your boat on Pompeii bumped over the rails and floated right towards the flames, or Griffon broke down while on the 3 second stop above the dive, or your raft on Rapids overturned? We all know this wouldn't happen, but, well, it COULD.

(Please come up with your own ideas for problems too so we don't end up living off of the same three problems.)

(Also, it doesn't have to be a ride. Like, a dancer could step on your hands or a bird could poop on your head in Celtic Fyre.)

Have FUN!

hmm, what would i do if my boat on pompeii floated twords the flames....I'd Jump out and swim back to the entrance.

What would happen if you got stuck upside down on one of Nessie's loops?

Lorikeet Glen could turn Hitchcock very quickly...

Chances are they wouldn't attack anyone unless they were provoked.

 

[pandorazboxx]

Doesn't mean people wouldn't crap their pants.

I would just beat them up, just as I have done with a variety of dangerous wild animals countless times before.

I'd love to see you try that... actually no I wouldn't it would be very horrifying and gory.

For the wolves, you mean?

Hey man, haven't you guys seen Look Who's Talking Now?

Unless you were Chuck Norris mixed with Steve Irwin, you wouldn't stand a chance fighting an angry wolf with your bare hands.

I believe, in 2007, the Emergency stop was hit on Griffon while a train was on the holding chain and the chain broke and it was closed for a few months so they could fix it. Right?

 

[mc14]

Well if a train gets stuck during the hanging portion of Griffon, they have something that pulls it back up. I have a picture of it somewhere when they showed us it on the tour. If you get stuck there I cant imagine you would be there to long. But if the chain breaks..... thats not good

 

[pandorazboxx]

Eh, I'd just push them off. there's enough momentum to get to the brake run and stop them there.

Here's what really happened:

Back in 2008, the lift hill chain snapped causing a lot of damage to the slot that holds the chain on the track. Even still today you can see where the damage was. The ride was closed for a few weeks while repairs were made. No one was injured.
