not all coasters have air gates. sometimes the operators just trust people to not be stupid.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer? No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
I don't think they're required in Japan.
I guess Japanese people arent as dumb as some Americans.

I'm also fairly sure China doesn't require them, either.
The coaster looks awesome.
I should go to Japan and ride it. Just Kidding.  "There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a "Smell Gestapo". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..."

CP did not have air gates on all of there Coaters till 2004 when they added them to all there coasters.

Correct me if I'm wrong, last time I went to Disney World, which was 2001, Space Mountain didn't have airgates. Have they been added since or is it not a requirement in the USA to have them?

I'll let you know how they operate over there after Sept 18th when I get back from Japan.

Air Gates are not required in the US, un until about 3 years ago, Magnum, Raptor and a bunch of other coasters at CP had no gates. There are quite a few coasters around that dont have them, They just slow the loading process (exept of course on rides like V2, DV, Boomerangs, etc where they really are a necessary safety feature)

I'm sure it doesn't help insurance costs not to have them, though.

Insurance reasons is why CP installed them.

Nope Japanese are very trust worthy and don't do stupid things like americans. Yes I've been on the coaster, Its acually fairly boring except the drop and the second drop from the building, everything else is pretty boring, but still a good ride. But SD2000 was better before it became SBNO. And your probably thinking, why would a person with two posts say this, and I don't believ him. Just because I have 2 posts dosn't meen anything. lol, i've been coming here for more then 2 years, just I don't post.
Yea I have heard it is kinda boring.

Earlier you were talking about how sweet of a coaster it looked, and now you are talking about how boring it looks. I don't understand. Did you fly to Japan between those two posts and ride it?

I plan on going to europe before Japan. Europe will be in 2006.

I said it LOOKS sweet. Then I said I HEARD it looked boring. And yes, I heard it looked boring after I posted the topic. Coaster Count: 128

Why would any park not operate a 3 year old Roller Coaster? It looks really cool. Stats:Raging Bull:1
Demon:1 Batman:1 Amrimcan Eagle Red:3 Viper:4 Whizzer:5 Iron Wolf:1/4 (I thought about going on it)
^Because one wheel of the train derailed into the Wave Pool or something. Basically what I've heard is that bad publicity in Japan is like 183029X what it is here in the US. I've heard that it works but they are waiting to open it again.

SD2K tossed a wheel into a waterpark I believe killing someone (or at least injured, I know it hit someone).
Japanese authorities are keeping it closed for the time being, Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
