I didn't think the failure could get worse, but here is my friends experience...
She had front of line pass for being an AP holder and went on Monday with her paper. She waited an hour and half with her front of line pass. She said they never announced it was broken or having delays, even though it had to be. She also stated they take the pass when you get into line and therefore if you want to leave or have to leave due to breakdown you lose your pass. The second time she rode it that happened to the people behind her as the ride "broke down" as soon as they were the next ones to board and did not come back up. I put broke down in quotes because while they were waiting for it to come back up they started talking with the ride operator. He said they were performing a test and that it wasn't really broken. They perform this test several times through the day and never tell the operators when it is coming or how long it will be. He seemed very frustrated with his job already.
