Stuck in Unload Station

On 8/15 one of TTD's trains got stuck in the unload station inbetween the tires that moves it along the track. 5 maintenance workers had to grab the train and push and pull it to get it to move. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

And, does anyone know why that in the morning when the workers do the test runs, that they have all 6 trains operating. Then when they open the ride they always seem to take the red train off the track.

Yes yes.......I was next to load the 2nd train when this happened......they called 5 maintenance workers over and they pushed it over the kicker wheels into the correct block.....then......there was a train in the 1st block on the return track which wouldn't move until they pushed you guys up. They had so much trouble with the ride yesterday......10 to 15 minute glitches every 1/2 hour......anyone know why?

Yeah, I know. It was the worst I've seen it run in a long time. 1 cedr pt did you wait the whole time til it stopped raining and it was back up after the mechanical diffuclties or did you leave? I was able to stay because I was also in the station and my mom bought us nachos and water and gave it to one of the workers and he gave it to us.

Nachos and water delivered to you? That's super service! I'd be willing to wait if I got stuff like that delivered to me.

Sweet service in line!

My guess is that they're trying to get hours on the red train. I don't know if its been certified (or has been used?) yet this season, but if not, they're trying to get hours on it so it can be used.

One of the workers tested the red train, only once, and then it was taken off the track.

And yes, it was great service! She only got the nachos and water for us because we only had a little breakfast, no lunch, and we got in line at 2:45 and didn't get off the ride until 6:30, if I'm remembering correctly.

The red train has been used several times that I've seen. I imagine the reason for testing all the trains in the morning is probably to get them all approved for the day so it will be faster if they have to swap a train off in the middle of the day. Just a guess though.

We were in the row in front of you when your nachos came. I ended up having nachos for dinner that night because they looked so good! :)

Exactly. Its so much faster to go ahaid and test ride all the trains in the morning and transfer red off than to have to test ride it in the middle of the day with guests in line if we need to swap a train out for any reason.

On 8/10, they put the yellow train in the storage for the day. Around noon the purple train broke down so the replaced it with yellow. My point is that red is used in normal or daily operation, whatever you want to call it. Every day they keep a different train in the storage.
