After just watching the Funcoast cam I would say that the train runs through the horseshoe roll at a decent speed, so more than likely it was just a combo of misjudgement and the wrong conditions.
As stated earlier, they have to find the rides limits so they know when they cant run the ride. Raptor probably should not have been running closing day due to the wind conditions and see what happened.
Everything will be just fine, everyone have some chips n' dip suck down a tasty beverage and chill.
Beeeeehhhhhhh!!!!!
I have. Just because I know how much people love to watch the Space Spiral when Maverick is testing. I mean what's better than the Space Spiral?
