Jugga! You're not supposed to eak-lay at-thay nformation-ay. Anyway, your got your dates mixed up. It's May 12th, 2008 for the Upernova-Say.

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!!!!!
The Problem with Funcoast is you only get like 4 minutes to watch what you want to watch and everything moves slowly.
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?

I'll bet money that Maverick will be near the top of the list of rides that close when there is even the slightest winds off the lake. Right up there with the Sky Ride, Raptor, and TTD.

^ I doubt it... they were testing it in the some of the worst weather conditions for late march (at least its seemed like it).

[nagging girlfriend voice] They put that sign up there for a reason.[/nagging girlfriend voice]

Hahaha! Walt, it's almost like you're asking "If there's anybody who broke the rules and drove back on perimeter road, can you tell me if they took the sign down?";)

I was there the 29th to get my pass and I didnt see that sign up. Thats why I drove back and watched Maverick go thru some test runs. Like FlightofRaptor said, it is very quiet.
Ride-on
