Top Thrill Dragster stuck on the top for the third time

I believe it could, because as mentioned before it did happen to Stealth (unloaded train though) and there are no stairs going up to that top hat. To get the train down they had to bring in a crane and hoist a worker up to the tower.

Edit: I just did some looking around and noticed that all of these balances have occured after the themeing was removed from the back of the trains...could this be a reason as to why they are stopping and not just rolling back?

^ - the reason MOST of these have happened after the theming was removed (I believe 1 occurred during testing prior to the ride opening, and that was an unloaded train) is that the theming lasted all of about 2 months before it was removed.

Well, I got that "golden ring" on TTD on opening day night, but not that triple rollback! I actually don't remember seeing that one, just a double rollback before my train launched.

I just wonder why those 3 kids were wrapped in blankets in the picture on Tony's blog space.

^The triple happened sometime between 8pm and 11pm, i was in line forever and as soon as I got loaded, I got unloaded due to weather (sucks, i know). Well getting stuck up there for a whole 15 minutes must be a traumatizing experience ;)

When the train arrived down the hill to the station, the crew handed out brand new emergency blankets, because they had to sit in the train while an incident report was filled out. The winds were pretty chilly, and they were just 420 feet in the air for 10-15 minuets. Just doing their job to comfort them after a freak incident.

I was luck enough to recieve the highly dreamed about diamond ring ride on opening day! I was hoping for my first and got three! I was so happy, one of the best rides of my life! I got to say that red train is my favorite forever now!

^^The first of 2009 happened around 20 minutes after the line opened after the rain/mechanical down time! It was around 6:30/7

I know this is last year's topic, but wouldn't it be cool if you were on a stalled train that gets stuck at the top? I would love that more than having a roll back. I'd imagine the view has to be incredible.

For how rare it is, I still think the park should have shirts that say, "I got stuck on top of Top Thrill Dragster and all I got was this T-shirt." :)
