Let's just hope that no one gets hit by pieces of cable on Top Thrill Dragster again anytime soon.

Again? Do tell.

I believe it was last summer the launch cable on Dragster freyed and during the launch flew up and hit people. Apparently the injuries were minor, compared to mosquito bites.

The TTD thing never happened again. He's saying he hopes it won't happen again. You would know that if you read the post properly.

^ I like Jeff's response in that thread.


Anyway... the ride wasn't down for long. It was down longer later in the day for weather.

You mean to tell me that nobody grabbed the wheel off the floor and ran away to put it on Ebay? ;)
