Holy SHIIIIT ITS HAPPENINGAs people are saying on Reddit, I think the obvious explaination is that they're planning to reroute the queue or similar. May be a pretty good sign for the ride!
Hopefully that’s it. I don’t think they would take it out but maybe they are drawing in a better bigger blocked off area?As people are saying on Reddit, I think the obvious explaination is that they're planning to reroute the queue or similar. May be a pretty good sign for the ride!
Xcelerator had a cable snap in 2009 that severely injured a guest so it's not impossible but they do go to great lengths to inspect them and make sure the will hold up.Again, physics and expense kind of limits LSM usage, they're probably going to keep the cable. The power requirements plus the likely need to run stators up the tower alone seems to put it out of the realm of likelihood.
That's not to say it can't get reengineered to remove whatever flaws found inherent to the original design.
The safety thing seems more to do with using the wrong materials for bolts (TTD) or not properly tightening bolts (KK) - don't recall hearing of a snapped cable becoming dangerous for guests.
