It should be the park that calls 911 if it's required though. Often times the PLC will refuse to open without an override which is something that maintenance is usually required to do (to keep normal ride ops from making critical mistakes).
This was meant to be a reply to another comment..... still learning a new Android app.
It does feel like we've known about it forever 😂
Not sure if you are aware but Rougarou is actually Mantis just with side down cars..... but it was FAR better with the stand up trains and in it's current state it's one of the very few coasters that I'll never ride again.
I love Magnum sooooooo freaking much!
I suspect the Marvel stuff will be at Islands of Adventure for many years to come. It is a Disney IP now but Universal has an ongoing license to use it.
Super Nintendo World is a land at the new park, Epic Universe, that isn opening next year.
I've been on way too many coasters but one of my most memorable rides was when I was 8 and rode the brand new Raging Wolf Bobs at Geauga Lake with my dad in an absolutely insane downpour of rain. That ride will always live with me.
Raptor is such a great coaster but that head bang that you talk about is something that becomes an issue with all of B&M's inverted coasters with that type of restraint. They seem to get worse with age in the headbanging department. Still a coaster that I love to ride but not one that I can marathon. I think, for me, when it was new and I was in my teens that coaster always felt like it just kept getting better as the ride went on. Most coasters start running out of a steam by the end but Raptor was one of the first that used tighter turns and inversions to make it feel like it was going faster and faster even if it was slowing down.
This was the coaster that had the most potential of actually getting me to another country for coasters..... It's so disappointing.
As much as I hope someone can stop this freight train, I am afraid that no one can or will.
It's certainly a difficult topic for sure. You're absolutely right about amputation but in those cases you make absolutely sure that the infection is indeed a problem.
To me it's also telling that any time and instance on both Lemmy and Mastodon ask their users this question it's invaded by people from other instances that become the strongest vocal opposition. It really makes me feel like there's a very loud minority that is more intent on making others see their way than they are the actual will of the people. That's not to say they don't have valid points but they make it really hard to judge the actual pulse.
Reality is that I'd probably not leave lemm.ee if you defederate immediately because of the UI differences that you mentioned but when it comes to Mastodon I think it's a bigger deal. You've so far shown that you're acting as a great admin so I have trust that you'll make the right call - whatever that is.
I agree that those magnetic trims ruin the flow. It actually doesn't go any slower than it did before but it really does feel like it because of how abrupt those brakes hit. I know magnetic trims save a lot of maintenance but I would love it if they went back to the friction trim brakes.
I'm curious what year you rode SoB. I rode it opening year (possibly 2nd year) and I absolutely loved every moment of it. I know that it tore it's self apart quickly which was the biggest reason why they got the new lighter trains (which led to the removal of the loop since they couldn't make it through it). I don't doubt it was getting bad.
