Stuck

[cowboy1192]

Do roller coasters ever get stuck at the bottom of the a hill? I know they have rollbacks on Kingda Ka and TTD, but that is different. Does it ever happen on coasters like Bull, Mellenium force ect. If it does, how do they get the train off the track and what happens?

[Mr.SIX]

Didn't that already happen to Bull?

[BullInDaBack4Life]

I heard Bull vallied (didn't make it over a hill) early in the season or before the season began when it was testing, but I've never heard of a coaster getting stuck at the bottom of the hill. I don't know what you mean. You mean it just stops at the bottom of the hill and doesn't even go up at all or what? I don't think that can happen.

[Danhockey04]

It happens on times, it has happened a few times this year to different rides. I don't know if you mean valley that it doesn't make it over the hill and rolls back and stops at the base of a hill. When that happens, depends on where the train is and what their options are to have the train complete the circuit.

Eagle red got stuck just before coming into the station but I don't know the reason why it got stuck.

[demon boy]

^The reason would be because of the trims/blocks right before the helix at the end. Its not that much more elevated than the final break run so if they're fired hard, the train barley makes it up.

Thats what I mean. Woodies seem like they would valley alot for some reason...

Didnt Robin: The Chiller valley not too long ago?

Robin valleyed a year or two ago. I think that's part of the reason the barrel rolls were removed.

[FParker185]

yeah, chiller used to valley all the time in the heartline roll, which would result in inverted stuck riders, which is why the heartlines were removed.

I saw millie valley once at CP. It didn't clear the last hill coming off the island, they got a crane out there and started taking the cars off one by one. There wasn't anyone on it they were just testing in the morning, and I knew it was WAY too windy, so thats what happened.

[Galvan]

Im surprised no one has mentioned the numerous times Deja Vu has vallied, then again that was probably common knowledge

[[jonrev]]

Didn't Vu used to valley in the cobra in its early years?

[BP317]

It did once, MMs and OGs did numerous times. The only way it can valley in the boomerang is if brake 1 or 2 for some reason were to close at the perfect time to just catch slow the train down enough for it to loose that much momentum, 99.9% of the time it will just miscatch.

[demon boy]

Vu usually vallies in between the loop and cobra.

^Thats why they installed the PARTY DECK!

Whos bringing the brats and burgers? I'm grillin!

[batcave]

PART DECK!!!! OMG! Good Times!

[FParker185]

I think if the park ever holds an enthuiast event when Vu is down, they really should hold the meals up there, is a pretty awesome deck

[rct2wizard360]

It would be great.

Just lay under the track.

Speaking of American Eagle Red...Is it any smoother since the new track was finished?

[FParker185]

I've ridden red a few times this year, didnt seem rough at all, though for me it never really did and I only ride in the front row which is a bad roughness barometer

[cycamps]

I'm the same way. I don't think it is ever very rough but lots of my friends complain how rough it is. I was just sort of speaking from their point of view.

[cowboy1192]

Last time I went on Eagle I dont remember it being very rough...
