General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[JungleSkip]

This thing needed about a full month of technical rehearsals.

Eh. It didn’t. Until it did. The problem is the issue didn’t come up until after they announced the opening date and screwed themselves. Now we just have to deal with the situation they put themselves in

My sisters iphone says delayed, my android says closed?? Idk how that works lol

 

[JungleSkip]

Clearly something major is up today. Would love to know what they’re fiddling with

 

[Teebin]

God forbid they found a crack in the rail or supports.

Testing now. Just one train every few minutes.

Do you know what the original issue was?

Except it has?

The doom and gloom in this thread is incredible considering how much better the ride has been running all week.

Ok. When it opens at the same time as the park does, let me know.

Also smart to open in the mid afternoon right when we typically see thunderstorms in Florida.

Curious just how long it’s even operating on a given park day. Possibly 1/3 ? Or maybe 1/4 of Park hours? Sounds like a big improvement!!

Just because it's still dealing with a less than ideal situation doesn't mean it hasn't improved - because it has. Ya gotta let up a bit..

From watching the app this week, once it opens it’s been fairly reliable, with only the downtime last night being significant. So far more than 1/3 or 1/4 of the time.

Heading into the parking garage foyer...let's see what happens!

I have been told that there have been numerous reasons and issues in the recent past. Who knows if the same issues have reared their head again. I am personally concerned about the LSM fins not always giving a reliable boost/failing.

To this day Dragster occasionally has rollbacks from under powering the launch. I think a rollback every now and then is better than an overshoot.

The problem with Dragster's rollbacks is that it launches based on the weight of the previous train. That means that if it launches a super heavy train then has an empty train right after, it's more likely to roll back. It's usually not an actual mechanical issue.

It's one thing launching a train up to 120mph where wind can have a serious effect plus cold weather but weather shouldn't be having an effect on Hagrid's at such low speeds and it seems like this is rolling back a lot.

 

[Jushin Thunder Liger]

Alright, we're in the line. Not nearly as bad as last Monday, and it's moving steadily.

 

[Teebin]

Does one actually feel brakes when coming into Hagrid’s barn or does the train just slow down on its own... sorta.

Too, I wonder if any of the system supervisor code has had to be rewritten or modified to handle some unforeseen issues.

 

[Jushin Thunder Liger]

She's open!

She's open!

Aaaaaand she's broken. I'm currently in line by the Hut. No motorbikes have gone by since I've been here and they are doing the "we apologize for the delay" spiel.

Same. We're down under the barn in the single rider line. Kinda looks like a summer camp in here. At least there's AC!

I'm so jealous of your AC right now. I'm so close yet so far from the main queue building.

Back up! Vroom Vroom.
