It's worse than we feared!
I305's entire lift hill has snapped as seen from this picture I took this afternoon:

Here's hoping the replacement parts don't get "lost in transit" for 2 months like the last time something like this happened....
Yes I'd say there is chance. Despite rumors. I305s cable DID NOT SNAP. Idk who started that rumor but take stuff like that with a grain of salt lol. It was having sensor issues with the cable not engaging with the catch car. The ride went down four times for the same fault. Heard it from someone who works there and a buddy of mine talked to the supervisor at the ride. First time it's ran in 90 plus degree heat in over a year so its just a little rusty.
But what did the dippin' dots stand worker say?
Let's use common sense. If it was a problem that big, KD most likely would have posted if social media about I305 being closed until further notice and there is almost no chance they would have let anyone stay in the station after a problem like that. Ops would have sent everyone out and their workers home or to other rides. Most likely it was something minor at first that is just causing an extended shutdown. Also, if parts do need replaced, there is a chance that unless the park keeps it stocked, it could take longer to get. These days, stuff like that is just taking longer due to lack of workers at manufacturing industries.
About to head back out in the next few hours for few hours before driving home. Hoping to have some better luck today. If not, we will be back.
Also, there is a giant and awesome (maybe slightly inaccurate) mural of i305 and Ashland in the hotel lobby where we are staying.

That wasn't the case right away when it's transmission broke several years ago. They didn't want it talked about.
I wanted to wait to comment but rumors are true. Can’t go into specifics but hopefully this lifeless pic gives y’all an idea of what’s up.
Yep. Was there about 45 minutes ago. Absolute ghost town.
It was to the point they had employees at the top of Eiffel Tower harassing people for taking pictures of the train while it was on the lift.
What rumors of a cable snapped? That's not true dude.......
I'd say very accurate, some of that coaster track is Anaconda.
@heavymetalcoasters Not what I was referring to but understandable
