I want the light up track

I guess we're not getting an LED board.

Are the trains still being fixed? I remember it being discussed a while back, was it put on hold?

 

[maxairmike]

Trains are still scheduled for rebuilds, and RV 5 just came back from some work. I am not sure if this was the complete rebuild that has been talked about, but it did have some major work done and completed its test cycles either yesterday or the day before.

Cool, cheeers Mike. Be nice to think the RVs would all be sorted for my Sept trip. Wishful thinking on my part though?

Orlando Informer posted pictures of a new banner going up today....I thought they were looking for a more permanent solution.....?

 

[canobie#1]

More than likely very wishful thinking, unfortunately.

Any more pics? Is it 100% the same banner?

The only other pic of seen at the same stage of putting the banner up as seen in the other pic.......

From @WilbertGQ

"Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is finally getting it's banner back!"

 

[Hockeyman55]

Im no engineer, but ist there something they can do to prevent this from happening again? Maybe build it out of some mesh to let the air flow thru :shrug:

 

[Hatetofly]

I guess 15k won out over $500k...

 

[maxairmike]

Also, RV 5 came back significantly heavier than the other trains. I have no clue what is going on with the rebuilds at this point, other than RV 5 is creating some safety comedy from an operational/technical view.

 

[natespf]

... safety comedy ...

I am not sure if it is okay for you to use those two words together like that... :look:

 

[maxairmike]

True, but all I could do was laugh rather hard when I heard what happened, or would happen.

Oh do tell

 

[maxairmike]

I'll I'll say is you can't outrun RV 5. You can figure it out from there.

 

[Jwhee]

So if we want to go really fast get on RV 5!?

 

[Hockeyman55]

[Jwhee]
