Take note that they still don't state a specific time, my suggestion of the last week of HoS is still real...
That may very well be true, considering HoS is at Busch Gardens...b.mac said:
I added a footnote to the Haunt Construction Update, but it's basically the same. Lift motor is gone and they have everything set up to pop the new piece into place, put everything back, and then test.
The other coasters with lift motor troubles managed to get them fixed rather quickly. This makes me wonder if something more is wrong than just the lift motor.
Nothing has been announced. Just speculation so far. If Screamscape was correct about testing being spotted, I would guess the ride will be ride open as late of next weekend. They could open it this weekend, but I doubt it.
The Crypt tested for at least two days and it was just a one of the 4 motors that was replaced. This is the entire motor that was rebuilt so I suspect there will be more than normal testing. However don't be shocked if you see it open Saturday or Sunday.
Which brings me to another point. If you're heading out to park, can you please report on I305 for me? If you don't want to openly come out, you can Send me a Private Message or Send me an email.

Many folks have commented on this issue on many other sites. One entry was from an engineer and he thought the part(s) that failed could have had a defect/flaw in its design. Intamin had to go back and re-design the part(s) in question so they would not fail so early in their operating life.
I believe that conclusion as being the reason for the long delay in getting I305 back up and running. If it was just to replace a part as is, then I would not think the ride would be down more than 3-4 weeks.
