Closing Day

Gomez's avatar
To my disbelief WT beat out TTD with downtime. I walked over around 8:00 it was closed. Got back around 3:30 it closed while I was standing in line. Went back an hour later, I was the next in line, the train was unloaded, the air gate don't open, and an alarm turns on. I think it was because the sensors on the platform, to make no one comes in the proximity of the track while in operation, mis-read. They then launched an empty train and finally got two rides for the day. What happen to WT?

Another thing I notice, after the train slows down and back ups into the station the train seem to be vibrating a lot, it used to be a lot smoother. Is this normal?

I've noticed it vibrating pretty often this year while returning to the station..doubt it's serious. I was the next to get on when the train was emptied and the ride shut down around 3:30. Never made it back over as I stayed in the back of the park the rest of the day....

I was either next, or had 2 people in front of me for back seat on WT when it shut down around 3:30.

I noticed that it wasn't running on and off a lot. One of the ops said they had to swap a wheel earlier in the day.. Take it for whatever its worth.

Oh, we had no trouble riding WT all day on Sun. We were on it... 3 or 4 times.

I'm not really surprised about some vibration while moveing trains.

When I was at SFWoA this year I noticed Superman vibrating ALOT. Superman just had the look of a run down coaster. WT just seems so much cleaner, and better maintained.
