It's unfortunate, but guests assume everything is connected. I've heard the restaurants (all third party) took a hit after the drop tower tragedy, this isn't going to help matters.

I can't even imagine how it hit the restaurants/bars on just that one night -- 12/31 is a pretty big night for those types of establishments.

That looks like a power line arcing with the steel part of the wheel. My guess is the insulation on the wire is gone in that section and it touched the metal causing the arc you see and tripping the main feed.

Noticed that a portion of the wheel's LEDs was off prior to this for a few weeks. Potentially related?

I think the problem with a lot of smaller venues is also that they are more lax on maintenance. At Uni we don't just have an army of techs during the day, but there is also a third shift doing overnight maintenance. Universal is constantly busy maintaining their rides, it is really incredible!

Uhh, are they planning on reopening the slingshot? The lights are on right now. I haven't seen this since before the accident.

Wow, I can't believe they're reopening it. Who is running it?
