SeaWorld Orlando Sky Tower stuck for three hours, loaded

For some people, the ERT is never good enough.

And those people paid three bucks apiece for the privilege.
Suppose they got their money back?

It's not an upcharge. Hasn't been for quite a while.

The news alerts I was getting on my phone yesterday, as always, made more of a story out of this than there was, but 3 hours is definitely more than 20 minutes on a lift hill. Still nowhere near as bad as the Cedar Point Space Sprial incident back in the day where they had to climb down.

Who cares about the CP story - check out the Kmart add. Holy crap did we pay a whole lot of money for some pretty sad technology back in those days. $200 for a 13 inch TV. At least it was color.

But on the serious side, that had to have been awful being stuck in that cabin for 7+ hours.

"I have to pee, Mommy."

"It's OK Junior, we'll be off the sky tower in 5 minutes, then you can pee."

As Coach Corso would say: "Not so fast, my friend...."

Coasterbuzzers, you have let me down.

No comments about how SeaWorld is now trapping humans in cages now, letting them out and giving them a fish when they've done a somersault.

Convenient that this happened on the same day that a whale died at another Sea World park.

"Quick, create a diversion!"

(winky and so forth)

Interesting. I understand that the sky tower in San Diego has been closed for a while due to mechanical problems.
