random question

Maybe Doug has something

I checked and asked him. He's got nothin. But, he's going to get a super zoom lens for opening day and find the switch. :)

I think the switch is at the bottom of the ladder shown in this pic.

The "switch" is most definitely at the bottom or the ladder (or at least pretty close to the bottom). But it's not a switch...it's a button.

i didnt know asking a question like this would get people so involved.

^Its the off season and we cant speculate about Maverick as much as we once did ;)

The pushbutton is in fact at the bottom of the ladder which is about halfway down the hill. You can see the button on the ride if you look careful. It's on the far side. It's a small box with a single guarded push button like those on the operator panels.

Fun Fact for the day: The pushbutton sometimes cannot by safely pressed due to winds or slippery conditions on the walkway and latter. The alternative is to force the input in the PLC. The process is to switch the PLC to online and use RSLogix to go online with the PLC. Then find the input that the button is connected to and select "force on" This resets the timer. Then turn off the force and switch the PLC to run. Another option is to find the timer itself and return the accumulated value to the reset value.

^ right...I was gonna say that but I thought it was obvious...

great, now CP is bypassing the safety systems

whats next? will they let riders use the seatbelt extenders ;)
