So looks like of years of poor maintenance finally paid off!

And surprisingly, it seems like the park did a decent job with the evacuation. I wonder how long the non-english speaking ride operators were sitting on the track in the station before they noticed something....5 mins?

Poor Maintenance? Hades was smoother than the Voyage this year.

At least they were smart enough to put in the roll backs..

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

I agree though, Hades isn't rough but you can tell that they don't do any maintenance on the trains. Seat padding falling off, lap bar not connected properly (moves about 4 inches left and right), VERY ripped and tangled seat belts (I found 2 seat belts that didn't even click), cracked side paneling, missing steel plates, ect. I cant even imagine what condition the wheels were in. For a ride that is only 4 years old, they really let that ride go to hell.

While that would be terrible, I was referring to getting stuck at the top of that hill. I imagine that you wouldn't lose oxygen either, as it is open on both sides of the tunnel.

Why would you loose oxygen? While walking around during the tunnel track walk, there was no oxygen loss :lol:
