It will probably be down the whole day, considering they changed tonight's ERT to Dragster.

I never have luck with GK. Every time I go to the park it is down. Still have yet to ride it. :(

Really? I've never seen it down all day!

I've never seen it down at all except due to weather when I was in the park.. It's had incredible uptime, but then, that's B&M for you. :)

I've rarely seen Gatekeeper down for any extended length of time (and rarely for any amount of time). Wonder what is going on up there?

Rumor has it B&M actually re-did Magnum's controls and they've been kind of pain this year - more downtime than I ever recall in the past. If I recall though, B&M actually contracted all of their control systems to a company called Consign. Not really sure the details of the issues they've been having.

Not a good image for the premiere ride on what is sure to be one of the busiest weekends of the year, hopefully they get it up soon :)

Every ride had wait times today, even Blue Streak's cue was full. And yes there was a line for Mantis, STR and Mean Streak too.

really? The park didn't look that busy on the webcams today. But I suppose if a major ride is down, it makes the other ones busier. And I think Raptor had some sort of issue today.

The sad thing is, they are probably already there making up something to report.

Wow, GK down all day and Raptor down most of the day... Meanwhile Maverick, WT, and Millenium running all day... What's this you say about B&M reliability?

Toss that grenade then sneak away. ;)

Ah yes, let's generate trends based on one day. Now, since we know that B&M's are so unreliable, we know that CFEC will be removing GateKeeper and Raptor this off season. In their place will be shiny new Intamins. Clearly more reliable.

And I caught one! I love fishing... Only took a few minutes at that

Bro, do you even sarcasm?

Well, your comment about generating trends offif one day led me to believe that you didn't detect my dose... All is well! I am just bored right now and trying to have some fun.

For one, I just claimed to know something based on the most far-fetched reason. I just got done posting in another thread about how we really don't know what we think we do.. Does this help?

;)

Or this.. Note: that last statement was *not* intended to be a factual statement.

Like I said all is well, I hope whatever is wrong isn't anything major, and I hope they aren't adding any trim brakes...

Besides that I'm stuck at work right now and would much rather be staring at a broke down GK than what I'm currently doing...
