8/14 : TTD Cable Break

MF easily blows away TTD? lol....wow;) that is definitely the first time i have heard that description, lol!

Tim....who could easily catch a 3 minute cat nap on MF after the first drop

still trying to think of a good signature...

As opposed to TTD? 10 second catnap?

Just teasing -- and kudos to CP for working through the day to get the ride back in order.

TTD was open today 8-15, just broke down about every 10-15 minutes.

What scares me is that I actually think Intamin will get it right this time.

Yeah, Intamin getting anything right would be a huge shocker.

OMG I have a new sig!!!

It is impossible to not have downtime when the cable breaks. If it took them 12 hours, tht's half a day. No matter what time they start.

Intamin hasnt "gotten it right" in 5 years... at least not in the U.S.

Well that goes without saying, yet not a single other company is doing what Intamin is doing yet, so I'd say they have their own yard stick to work with. Until some other company builds a TTD type ride, there is no room to talk IMO. And then there's Storm Runner, which *has* gotten it right. Add in the all the problems that Intamin has had with they're US rides, and there lies my point. Think Intamin may have a few things riding on the success of the SFGadv ride? I'd venture to say a big, fat YES. ;)

As for Six Flags, I'm sure they're watching TTD quite closely, and already have asked Intamin the questions that need to be asked. SF bashing aside, they've been dealing with high tech hardware long before CF *** Edited 8/16/2004 8:34:08 PM UTC by DWeaver*** *** Edited 8/16/2004 8:37:03 PM UTC by DWeaver***

Dealing with high tech hardware...like Deja Vu or The Chiller? SFGadv cant even get Rolling Thunder complete.

Checking the cable twice a day hasnt kept it from breaking while riders are on it. Next solution...

Don't you mean 'catching high-tech hardware in the teeth?'

Ow, that hurt. Ow, that hurt. Ow, that hurt. Yeah, we're experienced.

Sarchasm obviously missed. ;)

In any event, I guess we'll see.
