Can we have more members like ThrillSeekerNoMore and less like skeetafly? Like not on the forums, just in society in general?

TOT at DCA if that counts

Update on MI2 Currently on schedule for late September/early October. Slightly over budget, probably closer to $6m just now. Theming designs look AWesome and I am confident we will pull them off. steel columns arriving in the next 3 weeks probably Team excited to get going on it and deliver a world class attraction. The world's steepest and longest................. ???? There is a possibility of invites to the VIP launch being extended to the current topic community. I will make announcements here a few hrs before any media releases and will give you all a heads up a week in advance.

No Blue and Black

It may well go the way of BSG and end up with new trains and half the capacity. I have ridden BSG since its initial incident (where the seat came off) and I will probably ride GL when it comes back online. I think I'm looking for MW to be really honest with what happened and 'step it through' how that's not going to happen again.

Totally agree. I remember seeing the initial reports about this popping up in my FB news feed that afternoon whilst I was at WWW, and my initial thought was "people get stuck on rides all the time, why is this such big news?" Then I read about the wheel breaking off and my heart just sank. Now I've read about how NOTHING was attaching the train to the track, and how lucky it was that it came to a grinding halt where it did by pure chance, or there could have been fatalities... omg O_o Reading about the details of this incident still leaves me gobsmacked. So undoubtedly the GL is gonna be shut for a long time now, but I question what will happen to it in best/worst case scenarios following the investigation results? If it's found to be a train design flaw (which I am still am convinced it is) S&S may provide completely new carts? Or they may completely modify the track to ensure the carts are more securely attached and have extra security measures? Worst case scenario I'm guessing is the GL being removed altogether, but probably highly unlikely, given the effort involved and money spent on it. Can only wonder what the outcome will be.... but obviously depends on went wrong with it to begin with. and if/how it can be fixed. Either way, it's freaking scary what happened the other day and I am glad I got to ride it at least once, given we don't know what's in it's future now.
