Le Scoot:
Main control panel
The
FOUR orange lights (1) on the right side of the panel monitor water levels throughout the ride. When the pumps are turned on, these lights will sequentially come on as water starts flowing through the trough and proper levels are achieved. Similarly when pumps are turned off, the lights will go off sequentially as water drains from the trough.
The
RESET button (just below the orange light) (2) is used when one or all of the orange lights goes out or fails to come on when pumps are turned on. If the reset button fails to light the lights
The lift lights switch (3) is used to turn the lights on the lift catwalk on and off.
The green pumps running light (4) is lit when the pumps are running and goes out when the pumps are turned off.
The red air pressure light (5) is off when there is sufficient air pressure to operate the brake system.
The next two red lights (6) indicate when there is a boat in the Sawmill or Spillway chute. The light comes on when there is a boat in the chute and goes off when the chute is clear.
The two orange lights (7) indicate when there is high water at the Sawmill and when there is low water at the Spillway. In addition to the Spillway low water light, there is also a Spillway low water alarm located above the control panel.
The four buttons located below the
EMERGENCY STOP button, control dispatching action. The blue buttons allow boats to enter the LeScoot Log Flume from the left (#1 channel) or right (#2 channel) but not simultaneously.
Once the button is depressed, the lights go out, the appropriate dispatch brake is lowered and the boat enters the LeScoot Log Flume.
A series of photo eyes monitors the boat and after a sufficient length of time, the blue lights illuminate indicating that it is okay to dispatch another boat.
The green
DISPATCH BYPASS button is used to dispatch more than one boat. It is used occasionally for such things as putting boats on the belts during a Weather 1 shutdown, preventing an excess amount of boats at the Unloading/Loading area, etc.
NOTE: This must
ONLY be used when
dispatching empty boats.
The red
DISPATCH STOP button prevents boats from being dispatched after you hit the blue
DISPATCH button. It is used when you need to talk to a guest before dispatching them into the LeScoot Log Flume.
The left side of the control panel consists of 2 rows of buttons/lights, which allow the operator to monitor/control actions critical to the ride operation. The control power key is used to turn ride power off or on (10) and the blue light adjacent to it indicates that power is on or off (if the light is lit, power is on).
ALWAYS turn the power off and remove the key when the pumps are off.
The four green lights (11) (beneath the
CONTROL POWER ON light) indicate, when lit, that the Sawmill (CHUTE RUN), Spillway, Upper belt, and Lower belt are functioning correctly.
The red
CHUTE STOP button (12) stops the ride (i.e. the Sawmill/Spillway brakes come up, the Upper/Lower belts stop, and dispatch is not possible). In addition, an alarm on the control panel will sound and all four green lights (listed in Paragraph 2.b.11 above) will go out. The operator uses this button whenever there is a safety problem involving guests and/or the ride.
The black
ACCEPT ALARM button (13) is used to clear an alarm, which may be the result of a chute stop or a ride malfunction.
The two red buttons (14) are used to stop the upper and/or lower belts. The controls team member should never stop the upper belt without coordinating with the Spillway and Top of the Lift team members since they have a better view of the upper belt. The Controls Team Member always starts the lower belt since he/she has the best view of the lower belt.
