As @GrandpaD said it has too do with hydraulics and other fluids. It's possible that Great Adventure had their rides specifically designed to allow them to operate at lower temperatures.

Nah, we just ran them until they stopped or didn't come back.

All the B&Ms at GAdv are rated for 40 degrees, all of them have ran deep into the 20s during FF and HitP.
 
Hopefully they can be efficient with the operation, once a train is over the top hat, hopefully that is considered a block allowing another to leave.

I wish more coasters would utilize separate loading and unloading as well as moving the train into a staging position once loaded.

Lol oh wait, read their post wrong.

The bitch is running THREE trains, and they don't know if BGW ordered a fourth.

I don't think Minerva or Suzy Cheely would appreciate being called that term.

On the blocks we are most likely looking at:
Block 1: Station exit to switch track end
Block 2: Backwards spike through switch track to top of top-hat
Block 3: Top-hat top through first set of brakes
Block 4 : Second set of brakes (safety)
Block 5: Wait brake
Block 6: Maintenance Switch
Block 7: Station

This would allow three trains to stack, however in programming, the ride will not allow the first launch to go until the switch track has switched back to the turning route. Otherwise you run the risk of sending the train off the end of the switch. I also doubt you would be able to load a train in time to send it before the previous train clears the top hat anyways. Also, Block 4 may or may not exist, since I am not sure about how Intamin sets up the blocks on their rides. Most of the other coasters at Busch have safety brakes, but I know VB does not. I do find it interesting that it appears from the plans we have seen that there is only room for one train in the maintenance bay. Ordering 3 trains would make one always be out in the elements unless their plans have changed. Busch has always put a roof over their trains when not in use.

For reference
LNM: 5 Blocks
Alpie: 6 Blocks
Apollo: 6 Blocks
Griffon: 7 Blocks
Verbolten: 11 Blocks
Tempesto: 1 Block ;)
Invadr: 4 Blocks

So it was my understanding that the parks were going to release povs during Iappa. Based on current circumstances I suppose that the park
Does not feel the need to do so.
