RE: Mäch Tower
I've been on it 4 times now and pretty much it has regular classical music on the way up from the speakers (the little white boxes every few seats above the head rests) and it starts to skip once it gets to the top. It almost seems like a record skipping, but from what I've heard (from one of my friends who is a ride op over at MT), the on-board audio is kinda messed up at the top due to electrical interference with the ride. After the music skips it goes into a "scary" music style for a second while the seats vibrate, then a slight pause, then drops.
Edit: The last time I rode it for the day (around 3pm) the music wasn't working at all on the way up, or at the top. Just silence. The vibration worked, but that was it for the "special" effects.

RE: Mäch Tower
From about 12 (when it opened this morning) till 3 it was about a 20 minute wait. I don't know what it it now, but it shouldn't be too terrible.

RE: Mäch Tower
They seem to have a good system going with the lines. I think the color cards work pretty well.
The ride its self is nothing special, but it is a well rounded ride. I was the first ride after they had a 45 min break down last night. All and all, I think its a good addition to the park.
I think i'll write up a trip review for my KD/BG trip yesterday.

I wonder if that 45 minute breakdown was the one that happened after my first ride, glad i got the last ride before that.

RE: Mäch Tower
So I got into a conversation with one of the guys who works the games in Germany and he told me the who story of what happened to the Mach Tower, he told me he was working the day that it crashed and he got the whole story that it was in fact the shock absorbers that were the problem. Just in case there was any doubt that that was the problem
