Great maintenance or a huge risk?

[Geno21K]

By now, many of you already know that Top Thrill Dragster has re-opened, just five days after the July 12 incident in which frayed pieces of the launch cable came off and hit riders. With such a small amount of downtime, it seems likely that they simply replaced the cable with a new one. Does it strike anybody else as a huge risk to simply replace the cable, rather than trying to modify something to ensure that such an incident doesn't happen again. Now, I'm not a ride op at CP, so I don't know what happened during the five days that the ride was down. Therefore, it is possible that more was done than meets the eye, but is that likely in only 5 days? This seems like either incredible maintenance or a ridiculously high risk on CP's part. Sure, they can try to do a better job of watching the cable to make sure that it can be replaced before fraying occurs. However, it seems like a risky proposition. There is no way of knowing how many cycles can go through before the cable needs to be replaced. Sure, the above incident only resulted in a few cuts and pin-sized knicks which, while painful and unnecessary, are not all that bad. However, what guarantee is there that this can't happen again? Who knows, maybe next time someone takes a piece of that metal in the eye or something. If somebody knows more about what was done to get the ride back into operation please advise. If nobody knows of any such measures, what do you think about the ride being back up so soon with no noticeable measures taken to avoid another incident?
