Intamin folks helping out

I thought it was interesting...I was one of the "3 hour folks" on AAA day Sunday. When we finally got up to the unloading station in the queue, about 9:00 or so, they took the red train off for a few cycles. There were some fellows there "directing" the driving onto the transfer track, and then one walked below the red train and I heard what I assumed was a grinding wheel.

They soon put the red train back on (just as we were next in line to board), and at that time, there was another young fellow with an Intamin shirt crossing the tracks and walking into the control booth.

Although I admit that at the time my heart was pounding and I was wondering what they were grinding down, it was good to see the Intamin folks there "making sure" things were working well.

YES, my mom also saw a Intamin guy under MF's station when she rode the train while I was in line.

I saw the same Intamin guy there Sat. and Sun. then again he is the same guy I saw back in March on my last construction tour.

On a side not on Superman:UE at SFO there was also an Intamin worker there as well.

It wasn't a wheel grinding, but the blocks between the kicker wheels seem to have been making a lot of noise, as did the anti-rollback from time to time.
