Magnum

What is the Deal with the train on the transfer track that is missing part of the fiberglass shell?

everything is getting fishy around CP. Lets hope its good (ie. new lap bars, they hurt!)

Probably either off-season prep or it was just damaged some how. Magnum's restraints painful...? I got about as much freaking airtime as you could possibly get in the ejector seat of the devil train last week, and it didn't hurt me.

Whenever I'm there they always get tighter and tighter until it hurts to go on the camel backs.  Anyone else feel the same way. Oh, well.

Brown bags for everyone

I don't know how people can compain about the restraints on Maggie... they've never hurt me... ever.

Odd...

You mean the ride ops push it down too low...ouch, that does suck. I suggest you sit in the back of the cars and put your foot on to of the metal plate in there. It will prevent your lapbar from being stapled.

...and always remeber, beware of the staple nazis!

I heard that they were having problems with the fiberglass. Joe E. and I noticed it today while riding. It was funny to see.

We were going to ask if we could ride in that train! ;)

I don't like the fact that they have been stapleing lately. It really hurts going over those bunny hills!

You are correct there was  a huge crack in the fiberglass, it will be operational by Friday.

I need a skyward time check!

It was probably caused by that car shaking itself to pieces. 2-1 is one of my favorite seats and I sit there a lot (leg room!). On the devil train I noticed when that car took the pretzel the front end shook violenly like the dashboard on a car when its alignment is out of whack. I tried to hold onto the assist bar once and I could not because of the insane vibration.
 
Car 5 on blue was doing it today too, but not nearly as rough. Today was, umm odd to say the least.

Isn't this the first season for the new fiberglass bodies? If so, how long did the other ones generally last before getting worn out?

It would be swell if you could start a topic that was more descriptive than the name of the ride.

Does this have anything to do with it sinking?  The gypsies didn't inform me about the train. ;)

I totally hate the harness on Iron Dragon! That hurts! Your arms will get trapped where you can hardly move them, and you feel all closed in!

Because they were both built by Arrow? Perhaps Midway Man was referring to the harnesses being uncomfortable on the Dragon as the lap bars can be on the Magnum.

i like the front of arrow coasters much better; i don't feel gross getting off them when i sit in the front

I'm working on it, Jeeze!!

OIC now!

Those lap bars can really hurt on Magnum! Especially with trims open! They stapled me every time! They stapled Joe too. But, for some odd reason Joe can never actually be stapled! ;)

I like Mine Trains for that very reason. That Ride Pride practically jumped on my bar, yet I was still airborne on the 3rd hill. :).

The op that stapled me was not a Ride Pride!

The staple nazis came and got me good on MF...They pushed down on my lapbar 3 separate times...I was about ready to slug somebody...
