All coasters Should be operational

[TwistedSTEEL666]

As of 8-1-2006....

ALL Roller-Coasters were fully operational...
---------------------------------------------

Sky Trek Tower and Revolution were closed.

Not to sure about the other flat rides.
But Giant Drop was running with one row of seats roped off.
REDUCED capacity.

What's wrong with Trailblazer? I went on it a little bit before it was put on this list and it seemed fine then.

[RagingBullFan]

Technically nothing is wrong with Trailblazer...

In another way though everything is wrong with Trailblazer.

Don't expect it to be operating for a long time.

This effects not just Trailblazer but all Zamplera Joker and Huss Rainbow models.

[FRD714]

^Well that explains that.

[iluvthebullforever]

What is wrong with Ricochet?

[RagingBullFan]

Nothing... now

[iluvthebullforever]

Yay!!!

Some of you may be interested to know the Raging Bull had its one millionth rider of the season on Monday August 7. With the ability to run as many as three trains and plenty of room to park them, the ride is built for speed. However, much of the credit goes to Six Flags Great America's ride operations and ride maintenance teams. Similar rides to the Bull (and soon to follow, Superman and Batman, reaching their one millionth rider) are operated at other Six Flags parks and their competitors. Some even have longer seasons and speedier configuration. But SFGAM still outperforms them year after year by minimizing maintenance downtime and operating with maximum efficiency.

[nalarrabee4752]

^ Now they gave you a warning

[EagleFan344]

Awww he said something bad about GAm BAN HIM!!!

[iluvthebullforever]

Whats with Ragin Cajun running at low capacity?

[Sedir]

^It seems like it's always running at low capacity...

[FParker185]

well it's a low capacity ride, running 4 person cars, isnt much you can do to raise it's capacity. Even adding more cars there can only be a certain number out on the track at once.

That coaster really has no place at SFGAm or any major theme parks that sees 3 million people per season.

[RagingBullFan]

The maximum number of cars allowed on the circuit at one time is 8. At Full capacity the theoretical capacity is about 800 PPH. We will most likely never run 8 though, and until further notice only 4 cars will be running at one time making capacity under 400 pph.

[shocker]

^plus with a generous avg of 3 people per car, about 300 pph

[Suf03sfgam]

Disney runs 12 cars on both of theirs

[FParker185]

Did SFGAm not screw with the ride when it was installed?

I remember hearing from people at the park that SFGAm needed to "upgrade" a bunch of stuff, while it seems all the rest work just fine running all cars, SFGAm has never really ran more than 5 and it seems to have issues just doing that.

[FRD714]

Disney runs 12 cars on both of theirs

Bull would be running 4 trains if it was Disney. There just so fast at loading. 35 seconds at Rock n Roller Coaster and the train is gone.

[ragingbullchick]

^ I know, they're amazing at WDW. All of their crews are very efficent.

[Ilovthevu']

I think the station is bigger on Primeval than on Ragin Cajun. Thus, there can be more cars. On Primeval Whirl, they have one car come right after another in the station.
