Umm hydroplaining.....
Wet rails would actually allow the trains to maintain speed.

I'm gonna let you look up what hydroplane really is and how no way in HELL a roller coaster could lose its steering like a car can before I really respond...

^^Also, Mike won't get back into Charlotte until around 4:30 --5:00 this afternoon.

You have Mike's personal travel itinerary??? Wow…y'all have gotten close!

[Edwardo]

Rain would make a coaster less likely to valley...

Three more weeks...three more weeks...

Please tell me you didn't call/email/text/PM/Twitter/Facebook/etc this man while he was on a family vacation...

My money's on for tomorrow testing. While I'm sure that the ride can run in the rain, there is still an increased risk of it being valleyed due to wet rails, and I'm sure they wouldn't want to deal with taking the train apart and move it back to station in this sucky weather.

I don't see how a coaster hitting the brakes at 45-55 mph has the chance to valley...unless the wind is seriously blowing...

Top Thrill Dragster hits the brakes at well over 100mph and 'valleys' pretty regularly. Of course, in it's case it is called a roll-back. It's not about how fast the train is usually going at the end of the course that is important, it's how slow it is going at the tops of the hills.

Is it just me or did they turn on another set of lights going up the hill looks like there is two green lights. Or is it just a glare someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not picking at your post...your counteracting, yet again, with un-thought thru garble. How can a coaster, locked to a track at 3 points PER WHEEL lose control. And braking? Are the brakes on the coaster car? You are comparing a roller coaster train, locked to a track, to a vehicle. You cant be serious, but the scary part is...you pretty much are.

If you guys look really closely at the station, you can clearly see...



nothing going on at all.

I just didn't want anybody to miss out on that. Carry on.
