Xcellerator........Clearence Problems?

I was just over at Westcoaster and they said that their was a delay during the pull-through on Xcellerator. It looks like they said it's right where the train enters the twist. Can somebody explain this to me because I can't see the probelm. Thanks!

I noticed them saying it too. If you look at the pic it looks like they might have had a problem with the large support just right of the train. That my guess because there was no more supports around that could get in the way
I heard that during the pull-through there was a minor clearance problem, but they were able to fix it.
Here is the link to the pic for anyone interested http://www.westcoaster.net/update.php?id=0513027

If you look at the larger version it looks like a person on the right side could stick their hand and and "lose" it.

Coaster Count:120
Favorate steel: Millennium Force
Favorate Wooden: The Beast

I dont see how they could change this. That is a large supports and cant just move it. Can they move the track?

The clearence problem was not with the supports, it involved the 3 wheels being tight against the track, too tight, so they loosened the undercarriage bolts to free up some space so it wasn't too loose, or too tight...

that was the clearence issue

No, it looks like it from the photograph, but it's not. It's just the angle you're looking at it from that point of view. There's more than enough clearance on both sides of the trains.
