If its 100 hours without faults how has any Intamin ride ever opened?

Significant faults are different than faults.

The ride can break down and not be considered a significant fault if all of the safety contingencies triggered properly. It's more about the ride being safe to operate; not about the ride being reliable.

For what it's worth the train pictured was in the maintenance building. Hopefully it'll be enclosed soon.

I'm guessing those black boxes in the background are light fixtures.
 
Not sure if it’s significant at all but is anybody else noticing that there’s only 2 cars in the storage bay?
I would assume that this was early in the stage of putting them on the track and wouldn't read to much into it right now.

For what it’s worth, last year a stable employee said there were ideas of letting the goats graze the center of Pantheon. So it WILL be like Cheetah Hunt, but with goats....Goat Hunt, Goats Graze? ...oh never mind.
They had sheep under Verbolten at the photo point for a very short period.
Have they been able to do a pull-through test to get things started?
Don’t know if it’s been done but the attachment is on the front car for it.

I'm not a mechanical engineer/physicist, but wouldn't any seat in on the last car experience the same forces? The whole car is being pulled by the rest of the train, not just the seat.
 
They are a little bit different. Back seat will be moving slightly faster than the second-to-back seat over a given point on the track, when the vehicle is moving downhill.

Of course, at any point in time all seats on the train are moving at the same speed. But they aren’t all in the same place...
