Maverick's Tunnel Lights

I guess none of us can be shocked the tunnel lights are no longer working. The ride is still great but the lights in the tunnel really did make the tunnel cool.

At least the water bombs still work... somewhat...

When I was there the water bombs would go off randomly with no train anywhere near it. I told my daughter it was the ghost rider in the sky train that occasionally runs on the track.

Not sure, but I think you may be getting your parks mixed up. ;)

When I rode it this past week, can't remember if there was lights. But I can remember the beating it gave my neck, I came off the ride sore.

^ Amen! That ride cracks my neck every ride. I have to really brace myself to try to avoid it but it seems to always give me a whack.

How tall are you?

I too noticed the lights were off the first time I rode it. A few times it looked as though the brackets were still there but the panels were missing. After a more recent ride, the panels are still there.....just not on and being cool like they should be.......WHHHYYYYYY!!!!! >:-(

Oh no, here comes the headbanging complaints again. Someone get the whaaaaambulance on its way. :)

As requested.... ===>

@ e x i t: I'm not complaining too much. I don't notice head banging on mantis or anything, it's just the way mavericks shoulder restraints are right on my neck.

I like Maverick, just wish OTS restraints were a little different.

Such as the new I-305 restraints.

I haven't ridden it yet, but I've heard they're better and something that wouldn't be impossible to do on Mav.

The water bombs actually go off every 15 minuets or so if no train goes by. I don't know why, they just do, until turned off.

Kyle which Intimidator restraints are you talking about? The straps or the StormRunner ones? I would think if the straps workout pretty good, it would be easy to remove Maverick's current ones and replace them with the straps.

I to am 6'1".

3 out of 4 water bombs were working yesterday.

I really did like those lights. I hope they come back.

The other thing that is missing, is the train crossing sounds.

I'm 6'4", and if I don't make an effort to keep my head centered, I take at least 5 or 6 shots to the face on Maverick. My wive is an even 5' tall and gets the snot beat out of her every time she rides.

As to the 3 out of 4 water bombs, last Sunday it looked like the tube for the fourth wasn't even there anymore. The small pipes next to where it used to be are still there but the tube wasn't.

I wish I could have ridden when the effects in the tunnel were working. Would be cool to see them.

^^As well as the launch sound.

I would have to agree with you, I'm 5' even and I got beat up today riding it. The sides of my head, and my upper arms. (I have two bruises now) :P But hey, it's worth it ;)
