I know that Borg Assimilator is having technical problems and has to close down a lot. I'm worried that the coaster won't work out well in the park So I want to know, what exactly is wrong with Borg Assimilator?

Nothing that can't be fixed with more "real" ride times with the public and some tweaking. Remember they are in rehersal.
There is nothing majorly wrong with Borg. Just needs some TLC in the right spots. I think by May they will pretty much have the bugs out.
As for exactly what is wrong with I can't say as I promised I wouldn't. But it is nothing to fret about.

The problem was due to a faulty drive motor. A new one was installed this past Tuesday. Hopefully this will keep the ride going for a while.

Well maybe ill go this weekend and ride that thing more than once....if its not down. How did u find out it was a faulty motor?

Well whatever was wrong, it's working great.

I was at the commercial shoot yesterday, I rode it 13 times, never broke down once.

I was at Media Day today, and rode it 6 times, never broke down once.

Here's some pics of today if you would like to see what went on <a href='http://community.webshots.com/user/carowindsflyer' target='_blank'>http://community.webshots.com/user/carowindsflyer</a>

does that mean it's fixed??

well the ride is made from Vekoma and when it was Stealth is had many problems. And now X-Flight and Batwing at the SF parks have problems with it a lot of days, so it's normal for the type of coaster it is.
