Which "S" Term?

Which S word do you use when you see a train on a coaster at a point not moving for a while on a lift or mid course brake?

I hear most people say it's stuck , but I tend to think that that means it has hit some gum on the track and it will never move. A more technical term could be that it's set up . Depending where it's at on different rides you could that it's stacked .

There are many more like stationary, silent, still, stagnate, stopped, sputtered, standing or stet.

The philosophical type might say that it's sedentary , but I would rule that out because I think the train call's the station home. For Drama, you could say it had a shortcoming on its trip. To be impressive and score 2 points (like in Scatagories) use a double S word like "it's in a standstill " You could also say that it's suspended , but the Iron Dragon in always in that state.

This is more of a question, in that I would like to know the different technical terms depending on where it's at during the ride. Even if it's not an S word, that's OK.

It looks like you've been listening to the subliminal vocabulary builder tape that Homer Simpson threw out when he discovered that he was gaining weight instead of losing it.

LOL! :)

How about "silly" or "strange" or even "sandwich!"

(sandwich has nothing to do with the question... i just needed another "s" word!"

Strange is a good one, since you rarely see a (insert S term) coaster at the point, except maybe Mine Ride.

If we get stuck, set up, suspended...WHATEVER...on one of our lifts on the Gemini this summer, there's a four letter "S" word I'll be using a few times... :)

Well it's not 4 letter long, but in that situation, I'd shout Shuboygin!--just something people yell around our school.

What exactly does that word mean anyways.......

For your information Chris and CP_bound, "Sheboygen" is the name of a city in Wisconsin.

I don't know, it's just a funny word people just yell out of no where to make everybody laugh.

How about saying "It stopped."

:-p

If I have been waiting for two hours, and it happens the train before me, and I must leave the line, that 4 letter S word is said numerous times.

That has never happened to me (thank goodness)
