this means the ride will be closed?

If that information is correct, then yes.

What do you mean by vallied?

damn I was planning on going tomorrow but oh well, and how come it only valleys when the trains are empty?

Vallied is when the train goes up a slope and doesnt have enough speed to reach over so it goes backwards lol

It may valley when train are empty because they are lighter but i think its just the wind that has caused to valley and even when empty, The trains should not have any problems getting to the brake runs.

A sudden stop.

 

[Brian G.]

A sudden stop.

It's not technically a sudden stop. It's when the train loses it's momentum and just loses it's speed to go up a hill or an incline.

Oh good to know Brian! Anyways, the coaster now has to be re-certified by the state, so don't expect Rockit to be open anytime soon.

Well it is not open during HHN yet it runs every night of the event, makes you wonder what the heck is going on with this thing. I enjoyed it and hope they get it all figured out, but I am just waiting for this new fantastic ride at Harry Potter if they have this much problem with a advanced coaster.

I guess the rumor of recertification must have been false. HRRR is back open according to the OU twitter as well as the USF mobile wait times.

Don't you just love false information? :bang:

 

[Tbad556]

Just as much as I love when the ride breaks down.

man I hated it in RCT3 when my coasters vollied...never heard of it happening because of WIND before though

Does it not make sense that it would valley with no one on it? It appears that the physics in the design were just set too close. Just look at how slowly the trains go through the brake runs with people on them! Perhaps because the physics wouldn't allow the ride to go TOO fast through the next run for structural reasons. To me, it appears that this ride is too heavy on "shaving physics" and not "cutting edge".

Some wheeny company saying, it will work IF too many times in the design process.

(disclaimer: I would personally prefer my physics be shaved and not put on the cutting edge... but that is another story entirely...)

According to PilotGeorge747 over at IOAcentral, HRRR now has an electric wait time sign.

Strange, they must have installed it over night. When we checked it out yesterday, it was still the magnetic one.

I can confirm that it does. I rode yesterday. BTW, rough rides on RockIt have officially topped out smooth rides on RockIt.

This is a very good example:

Apparently this happens alot on this ride. I don't know how they can legally keep it going.

Here's a pic of the new electronic sign:

I like it, thanks for the picture Briman.
