Newest Vekoma GIB stalled @ Madrid

Just remember, you can't spell "Stuntfall" without "St...all". Who knew even WB (the Dubba-Dubba) understood *the power of ellipses*.....;)

Did the other GIBs stall because of power loss or was it the weather that got to them?


First off, we should probably use present tense here...

The Deja Vu's valley because they are very sensitive to weather (particularly the northermost, coldest, one. ARRGH!). I've never heard of them stalling because of a power outage, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't happen.

Specualtion: If Stuntfall did stall because of a power outage (which wouldn't really be valleying now, would it?), my guess would be that there was something wrong with the power feed to the ride, as opposed to a problem with the ride itself. However, I have no detailed information on this incident, and am just going on what seems reasonable. Anyone know for sure?

Oh, ok thanks. I knew it had to do with cold weather but seeing as Stunfall is in Spain that didn't seem logical

So....maybe they did fix the "bugs"; on this one at least.

just a quick update. i have just spoken to someone who was at the park that day, and they said that the ride got stuck on the first lift out of the station due to a power failure
Looks like SFoG and SFGAm were very wise to put in these emergency scaffolds under the cobra roll on their copies, as for SFMM I have not seen any pics of thier copy with um.

SFMM has scaffolds, too....
Speaking of Valley platforms, is SFGAm's Deja Vu still the only one with a valley platform inbetween the loop and the boomerang?
