2007 Performance

Gomez's avatar

Given all the headaches the park has had in the past with a company that goes by the name of Intamin (IntaRide) whichever you prefer. I was thinking about Top Thrill Dragster's record year and how well Maverick preformed its inaugural season and then I got to thinking about MF and WT. It hasn't been mentioned, but MF had a great season of little to no downtime the entire season and I don't recall WT giving any problems either.

What do you say? Kudos to CP maintenance and Intamin. :)

I don't know if I would say MF had a stellar year...but it certainly could have been worse. If I heard one more thing about the motor or anything related I think I may have lost hope for a good season mechanically for it*** Edited 11/3/2007 4:08:24 AM UTC by BlueStreak64*** *** Edited 11/3/2007 4:21:28 AM UTC by BlueStreak64*** *** Edited 11/3/2007 4:22:16 AM UTC by BlueStreak64***

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

Speaking of Dragsters performance, here's the final Dragster operation log.

Wow that chart really goes to show what a great year it had.

I worked across from the ride for the majority of the season and other than a couple of 10-15 minutes of downtime every now and again, TTD was always up and running.

NO not kudos to intamin..they couldn't even design maverick right..they friggen messed it all up and we all had to wait and extra month to ride it!!!


Total Maverick rides for the 2007 season = 27

Top 5--- 1. Maverick- 2. Millennium 3. Magnum 4. TTD 5. Gemini

Cavs- 2007 Eastern Conference Champions!.-

^ I think when you look at that now at the end of the season, it's really a footnote rather than something major to complain about. Maverick is a great ride and won a golden ticket this year for best new ride despite some good competition. Yes, the track replacement was an inconvenience, but you really can't knock Intamin when they did truly deliver a great product this time.

You got 27 rides this season, what the hell are you complaining about?

101 on Magnum and counting...

^Exactly, everyone was disappointed about the delay, but after I took my first ride, I forgot all about that. All the rides ran exceptionally well this year, other than maXair.
