Intamin Restraints?

I think you just said it wrong. Again.

The locking and adjustment mechanism...the hydraulic part...is a self-contained unit consisting of a single-ended cylinder, a bladder accumulator, and a solenoid-operated valve, and each restraint uses two of them. That same unit is used on nearly every recent Intamin ride.

Duane: Not to mention you'd be "hiding" it from other parks in your own company. What a dumbass.

What time does the water show start?

Quick! Someone call Dick Kinzel! He might have NO IDEA that this accident happened!

Thanks for correcting me RideMan. I'll try not to make the same mistake again. I'm just trying to get at the fact that the rides are safe.

The news section on Intamin's website tells about a new "dragster coaster" being built at CP. (TTD obviously) Go to "news" on the main page under Pioneer of amusement park rides. I don't think that TTD is classified as a mega coaster is it?

From a witness report, it was not a restraint failure.
