Intamin builds world class coasters that get high praise. Its the price you pay for pushing the envelope to its limit.

If you don't have manufacturers going out of their comfort zone, you don't have innovation.

IT also doesn't help when parks opt to defer maintenance or use cheap parts to stretch the budget.

Or just reduce maintenance budgets and staffing down to an absolute minimum and forbid parks from maintaining any meaningful stockpile of parts in-house.

These maintenance departments are operating with shoestring budgets and skeleton crews. That makes problematic coasters like Pantherian a far bigger issue than they were even just a handful of years ago.

To give the other Panthintamin credit in the state I don’t feel like I find it closed very often when I go to visit.

Hearing a rumor that the new lift motor they got is faulty and will need to be fixed/replaced. Honestly if this is true, with this and superman sfa trains being faulty intamin is really fucking up major replacement parts this year. Also from what I understand it’s likely done for the year, they’ll never admit that officially but it’s likely so if that motor is fucked up

Guess I’ll have to ride racer north and take a peek again

 

[Mike541x]

Geez, as if the wheel issue wasn't enough. Guess I'm not surprised it's down for the rest of the year. The way it's been blocked off since last Friday definitely wasn't a good sign.

 

[Burnouts]

All these blown motors. Can’t help but think it’s the Dale Earnhardt curse. The Intimidator is not happy with the retheme.

 

[MrBradferd]

Hm?

 

[warfelg]

Why am I both shocked and not shocked at the same time?

 

[GASM]

In a bit of an ass backwards way, this kinda makes me feel better about it having been closed the day I flew in and out of Richmond for it. Obviously I’d much rather it just be open, but it’s also somewhat reassuring that I don’t just have the absolute worst luck and it wasn’t a one weekend thing.

Nope, just people overreacting over a brick. Classic parkfans. In all seriousness I do wish we could get some news soon…

I wouldn’t call it overreacting.

It’s literally not that deep

 

[CoasterBroCam]

Frankly watching all of you crash out over a brick is pretty damn funny

 

[cricket]

I don’t think they are “crashing out”…
Why buy a brick if you’re upset when people point it out?

I don’t mind people pointing it out but now the Pantherian thread is being boosted with useless babbling about how insane my brick is
