Great we are finally getting a new ride but kind of disappointed if it's just the Bountys Revenge again. They already have Goliath which is a swinging type of ride. Wondering if Black Widow will go soon as well

Yeah sure - and let Kristoff direct from the guest bedroom of Truman's house too, right? Production needs a separate space. End of.

Most of the production will be done from purpose built OB trucks, which do not fit within the building anyway. Sure you will have spaces for the production team on the ground, most likely your camera department, and possibly some producers, but everything else will be from trucks.

Taken today 😊

I think the logic is that if a fault could befall one method of locking - if both methods are the same, the fault could theoretically befall both at the same time, whereas different methods can't fail in the same way so the likelihood that one cause could trigger both to fail is far less likely, even though the likelihood of either occurring is infinitesimally small. ie: if both hydraulic locking cylinders have a manufacturing defect, theoretically both cylinders could fail at the same time. Further - it's not technically possible to detect that one cylinder has failed during normal operation - so an operator wouldn't know one had failed until the other failed too. This is the main reason why we have coasters where they tell you not to do up your seatbelt, so the operator can perform a push-pull test on the cylinder before attaching the SRS seatbelt.

From what I have heard it's because the KMG rides do not have a seatbelt / secondary locking mechanism. Which the ride actually does as each of the 2 hydraulic systems for the harnesses are 100% independent of each other. SA is the only state where this rule applies. It's a real shame as SA misses out on some great rides that are 100% safe.
