You'd think this thread would have a defunct label...

It's interesting to me that if true, that side of the park runs compressed air from here instead of locally at each ride. I'm guessing they weighed the options and figured they already spent a lot for a decent system, may as well hook air lines to it for distribution. I guess there's some level of redundancy baked in otherwise the right kind of failure would take out all rides relying upon it at the same time.

Wasn't that also the case for Volcano until Rapterra was being built?

When White Water Canyon brought the geysers back for a day, it caused all the pneumatic gates on that side of the park to have low pressure so no idea if there is some level of redundancy.
 
I could see if they decided to use it for Grizzly only, makes sense, but adding several rides seems to make problems bigger when they emerge
