I don't know how true this is, but I was told today by a park worker that the park may forego the vibrating seat.

RE: Mäch Tower
The real issue with Mach Tower is as follows. One of the compression pieces for the magnets failed during a drop, causing the vehicle to hit the ground. The car suffered no damage, apparently/obviously much to the delight of management. All of the compression pieces have been checked out and they figured out what caused the failure (I don't know what that is) and a new compression piece is coming from Italy.

RE: Mäch Tower
i'm sure there is a reason but why didn't have someone like the newport news shipyard make the parts.seems like this italy company had its chance.then when the part/parts were finished they could put it on a truck and would be a 20 min deleivery time.think it would speed up the time to get the ride up and running.

RE: Mäch Tower
When you buy a new ford, do you go to some fab shop to get it fixed when it breaks? No. You go to ford because it is a new vehicle. Although, I'm sure a fab shop would be able to replicate said part in a decent amount of time, but it would be dumb not to get a factory part from moser. (who already has the part and they know it works the way they want it to).

RE: Mäch Tower
You took the words right out of my mouth. Why pay someone else to do what Moser should have done right in the first place.

RE: Mäch Tower

RE: Mäch Tower
LOL. It is a piece of machinery and peices will fail. None of them are perfect. one fault means nothing in the grand scheme.
How can newport news ship building do that when their new never deployed carriers are already in Norfolk naval fixing NN's mistakes.

RE: Mäch Tower
i doubt a piece that compresses a magnet would be high on the list of a ship building company. Anyways, yea, it's moser's parts. Hopefully they don't fail ever again, but just so you know, I don't think i'm going to ride this ride...

RE: Mäch Tower
