Haha I can hear you sighing through the computer screen, Steve.


Steve, sorry I should have paid more attention to the 30, 20, 20 I asked you about at 2 am sunday. My bad...

How did you speed up the 5 minute ride time thou? Did you even dispatch the train? Or was your secret lay it down, jump on it and shake it, stand it up and say welcome back riders!!! :lol:

Oh and intimidator was a complete walk on all day sunday, they should have ran it with one train too!
(funny part is it would still have a higher capacity than nighthawk!)

Well, the whole 30/20/20 thing was meant for two-train operation. There's no way you could ever achieve it with one train. I think you need to ask Vekoma about speeding up the cycle time, either that or get gravity to pull down harder. :lol:

We used to kill it when we were two trains on those busy days, put up some impressive numbers. However, sadly enough, it will always be a low capacity ride. :(

When we rode intimidator we didn't have to wait 2 mintutes in line when we first got there the line was at the first row before you go under the start your engiens sign but after about 1 the line was not even down the 1st row of steps... this was sunday
