Griffon

[Irishman]

This is my $0.02 without knowing, but possibly having to spend time in the park, hearing the feedback first hand, and seeing the state of it has sparked something.

Sometimes a good eye opener is the best medicine

Especially if go to the doctor because your eyes are stuck shut.

 

[Jahrules]

Is that like going to management?

The new Griffon tracks by the splashdown look sick! Excellent work!

This is amazing. It also adds a lot to Griffon's theming, since as far as I know, it's the first time the ride has ever had any theming that actually shows or directly relates to the griffin creature itself. Huge round of applause for whoever had this idea.

So. Just to clarify. People prefer this to the Coke bottle theming?

Few things go better with Griffon than an ice cold Coke... But this is one of them.

I couldn’t care less about theming. But I know I’m in the minority on here.

New gearbox?

For a LONG time BGW had a big, standing fan pointed at the gearbox thing at the bottom of Griffon's lift—a ParkFan, if you will.

I see a tool box and the obvious rolling stairs there indicating work is either being done or will be done soon. It's possible they moved it to get it out of the way and will bring it back when it's done.

Up to about a week ago, it was my avatar and I had a user title of “It’s me, a ParkFan.” as well.

I have doubts it’ll be back.

Hearing reports of an incident right now at Griffon involving a 10-11 where the lift elevator got stuck. Guests have been on the lift for over an hour. James City County Fire/Rescue now on scene to assist in the safe evacuation of the ride. Anyone else at the park to confirm?

That fan left and now it's all going to shit

 

[Jonesta6]

In terms of severity, how bad is this?

It doesn't sound like it was bad. Seems the normal evac procedure hit a road bump and BGW had to call for assistance.

 

[horsesboy]

I drove past the park about 8:30 everything appeared business as usual. It's likely that if the normal evac was having issues that given the time with sunset nearing that it likely was at least partly a we can't keep working the problem we need a solution fast call.
