Griffon

[ijerngvidsnvk]

Best place to eat a Trapper's meal.

I love that quiet little section of NF. One of my favorite places in the park

Griffon is being repainted.

 

[Mwe BGW]

Finally.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hopefully, they will paint more than just what can be reached with lifts. That is all they painted a couple of years back. This is that same area, so far.

Is that a deeper blue than previous paint jobs?

The existing paint has faded substantially with exposure over time, of course. But that newer shade, even when I try to mentally correct the old one next to it for time and wear... the new one seems particularly dark.

Whatever it is, I dig it.

I like it A LOT. In person it’s way better

More than a couple of years, I guess. From our 2014 tour.


And 2015 to 2017. You get the idea of the half-ass job.

Jeeze, 2014-15. Was it really THAT long ago??

Edit: Added 2015 pot.

Are we sure this is a full repaint? They repainted a section between the first Immelmann and the MCBR a few years ago - it was painfully obvious that it had a newer coat of paint than the rest of the ride. They could be just painting the area around the splashdown.

Either way, new paint is new paint, so let's go!

They have one weird section on the Immelmann painted so hopefully it’s full.

 

[Lord Robert]

Please let this be full, it looks really nice. ?

They already fixed it again.
That was quick.

Sure they weren't adding/removing a train? That's usually where maintenance stops it to add a third... plus, the seats are empty. And, if you zoom in on the transfer area, it doesn't look like the track is in place.

No I saw others saying that it was down for a while today. I was told with maybe 50/50 reliability on the source info that a restraint sensor was malfunctioning a tripped an E stop.

I heard it had something to do with the water in the splash pool but I could be wrong

Was it windy?

 

[vacoasterfanatic]

Not at the time no

If that's true that'd be an odd place to stop a train considering the only issues with the water pool that would cause such a stop would be anything that'd cause a valley event.

Now that I think about it, how many trains were running and if there was more than 1 where was the other train?
