TTD Trouble

My past visit to CP was amzingly awsome but not with out troube TTD kept opening and closing through out the day and there was a scare that it wouldn't open again for the rest of the day but my friends and I had faith. After getting in and out of line all day and spending a total of 3 hours waiting out 3rd and final time in line we finaly got to ride it. While waiting in line though they said that the ride was having technical dificulties and a few of my friends along with others got scared and jumped out of line. Turns out that somebody just pucked and they had to take time to clean it up. To bad for them, TTD is one of the best rides ever

Insightful.

Yeah, Dragster's a fun ride. I'm glad you got to ride it.

You dont eat a full meal then go ride millinium force or TTD etc,cause you will fell very uncomfortable.

I can take Millennium or TTD on a full stomach, but Chaos would be out of the question.

Good for you bgcoasternut, your friends dont know what they missed out on.:)

Downtime spiels are not normally made for a guest illness so I'm assuming the illness happened at the same time as a mechnical problem.

^ I have never heard a guest illness speil, what would it say?

Sorry, but Top Thrill Dragster is currently down due to a guest induced biological hazard.

Attention riders on the Platform, __________ is currently down due to guest illness......we will have the ride up and running as soon as possible.

Or:

Attention riders on the platform, _______is currently down due to technical reasons.

There ya go, "technical reasons" covers pretty much everything.

Exactly, because technically nobody wants to sit in vomit. So they technically have to shut the ride down while they clean up the mess.

Then, technically, they can open the ride back up.:)

"Down due to mechanical reasons" = Problem with the ride
"Down due to technical reasons" = Anything not mechanical, but most commonly problems with guests (IE: Seatbelt un-buckleing, onride photo taking, ect...)

Depending on where the guest is that threw up, its "Attention Riders on the Platform_____is currently down due to guest illness.

i took on Chaos with a full stomach and i was fine then went on wt

That's more of Chaos than I prefer to take on. I just don't trust those rides, and with good reason.

Just because your a pansy Josh doesn't mean you should blame the rides on not being safe. It isn't their fault. ;)

Yeah right. ;)

I used to love Chaos, especially getting the tub stuck upside-down on more than one occasion at the end of the ride. I still ride it every once in a while, but with Chance's reputation of safety on those rides in combination with the noises it makes, I'm not putting all my trust in it. :)

Yeah, exspecially what happened a few years ago when the Chaos at MiA had collasped and new ride restrictions were put on. I don't think I will ever ride a Chaos even with the new restrictions. I do have to say I think this is the first season that TTD wasn't down for more than a few days. CP has been very good with down times this year.

Chaos just doesn't seem worth it any more. At any given time there are at least a handful of cars taped off. Plus the whole time you are on it you can feel the moving parts griding together. It may be safe but it just isn't fun anymore. Kind of like MS when you get that sqeeling throughout the whole course.

TTD on the other hand - GREAT!

Argh!!! That squeeling on MS drove me nuts on closing day!

I rode Chaos for my first time Closing Day. In fact, I rode a lot of spinning rides for my first time that weekend. I read all about the Chaos at MiA and that didn't bother me. CP took theirs all apart after it happened and did the fixings. I figure, if the ride is operating in the park, it's safe.

As for Mean Streak's squeal, I don't know what to think about it. It's a cool noise, but it gets annoying quick.
