It's already had a few rollbacks, and they're shown on videos. I saw them for myself. It was pretty cool to watch. I might go to Cedar Point this year, and it would be pretty cool if that happened while I was on. It would be sort of like you rode it twice, if that made any sense.
Yep, it rolls back every once in awhile. Heres a video of a rollback..*********************************Dave, you are a bad person doing that. If I don't let other people post videos taken while breaking park rules or the law, I can't let you link to that. It was taken while the person was trespassing. No double standards!
Lol... At Coastermania during the little Q&A with Monty Jasper (director of maintenance) and Janice Witherow (the public relations lady), they showed a video of a CBS reporter and Mr. Jasper riding Dragster... See, Dragster's computer adjusts the launch speed itself during the day, but if it sits for too long, it will reset to the default. Well, I guess it was a colder morning, and they were taking a while getting the camera setup on to the train, so the computer reset. Well, when they finally launched, they got to the top, and were almost over, but they started rolling back! The reporter lady was freaking out! She's like, "Why are we going backwards!?!". Lol, she was already terrified to go on this thing. Actually you can see it over at Guide to the Point (the link is on the far left).
Maybe since they are having problems with the coaster they should just make it like S:TE and just have it not clear the hill each time and rollback. That would be quite the ride also. Very low capacity on the other hand.
I think it would be awesome to rollback! After you get back to the standby position, they launch you again (hopefully making it over), so you actually get 2 rides!
Um, except that you'd have to evacuate the ride from a very weird position, and the ride would be down until they could get the train out. Besides, it won't happen, it cruises through that pretzel without a problem.
