Won't Clear Hill

Walt took a picture of one of the signs of information. . .check it out:

It says something like, "Occasionally a launched train will not clear the top; you should not be alarmed, the train will slowly return. . .dadadada."

How cool is that!

Ross: Do you have a minute? I’d like to talk to you about something I’m, I’m really uncomfortable talking about.

Joey: Sure. What? About uh, you showering with your mom?

Ross: I actually had a topic in mind!

That is going to freak some people out. I hope that I get the chance to get launched twice.

The best thing about Six Flags "Worlds of Adventure" is that Cedar Point is nearby!

Yup. Xcelerator has the same type of info on the pre-boarding video.

Without upstops, airtime would have a whole new meaning!

Yeah, just like with Xcelerator, sometimes there will be a misfire or short launch. I think that most of the people on these boards hope to be on a short launch so that they can get two rides.

What I was wondering is if the crowd will go nuts and start cheering if there is a short fire, or if they get scared and weary to ride. I think that at CoasterMania in the morning people will probably cheer because it's all enthusiasts.

...and the most anticipated event of summer 2003 is...

The Matrix: Reloaded!

The full message says:

Occasionally, a launched train will not clear the hill. You should not be concerned, the train will slowly return to the launch position.

Honest truth told to me by marina gate readmissions host:

Host: Hand stamped, two cents.

Me: That's cool, I think I have two cents.

Host: I better not take it, by the time you leave here its all you'll have.

I think something like a rollback on this ride would just add to the anticipation and thrill of finally going over the top. Some of the older rides use to do that just to build you up for when you finally get there. Super Loop comes to mind. Is there any others that you can think of?
