RE: Verbolten
I was actually wondering the same thing. I posted to their Facebook wall yesterday asking if they were going to be doing any aerial coverage during the off-season like they did with Griffon.

RE: Verbolten
Thanks... That's awesome
That is showing a stack... Have you ever ridden apollo during a three train day and you stopped very suddenly? That is when all of the blocks are filled and the computer won't let the train go any further... You can't really tell a stack on griffon or alpengist, but I have been told that a stack on LNM requires maintenance to show up

RE: Verbolten
Well they only run two trains even on some packed days to avoid that stacking.
And yes maintenance needed to show up the last time the ride stacked while I was at the park (which was 2009).

RE: Verbolten
Okay, yeah i've not experienced a stack at bgw, but have experienced one on maverick, expedition everest, and space mountain. The space mountain stack was horrible because I was at the base of the lift, and therefore second to last to be let out of the ride.

RE: Verbolten
Huh, last time I saw it stack (08) they just kept it going. Maintenance was nowhere to be found. :huh:

RE: Verbolten
LNM has a very picky system. If each are not transferred to the block exactly correct it will default to safe made and then the maintenance guys come.

Ah, she be a fickled mistress then.
Also being stuck on a stacked Alpengiest train for about 10 minutes is not fun. My legs were killing me for the rest of the day.

RE: Verbolten
It's LNM only, just because there is only room for 1 train outside of the station, not 2 so the computer (yes even LNM has a computer) stops it on the 2nd lift, requiring maintenance to fix it... [rant] BTW, i know a guy who used to work @ Apollo and he said that they have to run 3 trains when 18000 people are expected/at the park... it may be 17000, but he said they will still run 2 trains... and if you say they were running 2 trains earlier in they season and there were defiantly over 18000 people in the park, it's b/c one train was out of commission because it needed it's harnesses replaced (the red harnesses had cracked, exposing the foam inside them) [rant/over]

RE: Verbolten
Not to mention yellow jackets like to frequent that area.
Like how we tend to frequent sidebars in this thread.

RE: Verbolten
Would that happen to feel similar to being stuck on manta for 15 minutes?BG Europe Fan said:Ah, she be a fickled mistress then.

RE: Verbolten
Not sure, I've never ridden a flyer. Though I would think being stuck on a stand up would be worse. (BTW, I've never ridden a stand up either)
Swift, do you have anything else to share?

RE: Verbolten
It depends which stand up. Being stuck in a Togo has got to be way worse than a b&m, and in my opinion worse than stuck in a flyer. However, I was stuck on mantis for 10 minutes, and to be honest, it's worse when the train is moving.
