They are taking it apart like they did the Wave Swinger. Eventually they will do that to all of the rides this year.

Yea I asked maintenance they think there is a broken pin at the top so they are taking it down. Don't worry they will have it rebuilt by the end of the week.

Easy there AmazingMaverick(:

A lot of guests are gonna be mad about it being down for so long. But a lot of people complain about a ride being down as if it's up to the ride ops whether the ride was gonna malfunction or not.

Not all day. I just check them maybe once or twice a day hoping to find something interesting it maybe see that they put up a new cam.

Well there is a train off of the transfer track. I'm assuming it's in the station right now, ready for testing possibly

Update: It looks like they are starting to transfer all trains on. The far transfer track doesn't have any trains on it, opposed to all 6 trains being transferred off earlier

I guess they took the entire ride down and rebuilt it as we were staring at the trains on the transfer tracks.

Seriously don't underestimate the work crews. They just made it look like the cam didn't move. They already took it down and fixed the tiny pin and have rebuilt it. Should be open tomorrow!

Hmmm around 2:50pm, I remember making an update about them moving the trains off of the transfer track, so I don't know why a couple of you just cancelled your entire trip or even remotely freaked out about the situation. Oh the plus side to forums!

As I fell for sarcasm before, they were being sarcastic.
