The ride would be closed for the season regardless. And you know, sometimes they replace or maintain chains when rides are closed. It's crazy!

And I've heard that someone around here had to walk down another Intamin ride after its lift chain broke!

Would that be a series of unfortunate events?

You got a link to that by any chance?

A term, which here means "Lots of bad things happening in succession".
