train movement

I wonder if they are making adjustments to each train than. For only two cars to be on they must be doing a lot of work to the red train.

Big_D- I saw 4 rollbacks in a row that sat at the top for at least 3-5 seconds. I'm not sure if they were all planned.

Yesterday, around 6:30 I saw three trains launch. The first one made it over just barely, the second one rolled back, and then the one that had just rolled back made it over BARELY, it was at the top for about 7 seconds.

I wouldn't doubt if they get a train stuck on the top one of these times. I know that happened once last year. It would be good practice.

Someone better explain what's going on here...or...there will be a lot of explaining to do!

I saw that happen last year. I was waiting in line for Magnum and I saw it just sit there. For like five minutes. One thing I think would be funny is if it got stuck up there, and a bird comes and sits on it and the train either rolls back or goes over.

Did you see the guy go up in the elevator and push it down or anything?

Yeah I saw an employee running over there. I didn't see much of the elevator because of where I was standing but I saw a guy push it down.

They are firing really nicely now, In the rain and 30+ mph opposing winds. They are flying over the top, I dont think its launching at 120 anymore :) They also got dummies on one of the trains. I never seen the trains fly over the top that fast, Especially in this kind of weather. Its burnin up the track.

this is GREAT news. The trains are moving in the station in the Rain! I cant wait until saturday. can anyone confirm all 6 trains on?

I bet its pretty hard to tell which color trains there are from the webcams.

Not really.

I mean since it updates every minute you would have to watch it for awhile because you won't catch every train as it goes by the first time.

Yeah, I've saved pictures like that just by watching the cams by chance, but I've yet to see the train on the drop side of the tower.

It really sucks that the Fun Coast cam isnt working. This is the best time to watch it.
