Movie World Maintenance Schedule 2025

[Naazon]

Did Road Runner increase throughput when its trains were replaced?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I'm not sure - but given it has individual harnesses, each one would need to be checked, wouldn't it?

Mon 15th Dec looks like re-opening date for both Superman and Flash which is great for school holiday capacities 

Also, yikes...

Wicked Witch has come out of maintenance early too.  

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I think you meant to say Wicked Witch has come out of Maintenace.

Batwing was also constantly testing most of today as well, with it sometimes not even having a break between cycles and from what i counted launched 4 times within 7 minutes. they just have needed new air compressors and need to do a certain amount of tests before it can reopen.

Geez that thing must be really broken. They're going to have to work all night on it to bring it back into Village operations standards.

Despite the hiccups earlier in the week, it seems they’ve managed to get everything back open that wasn’t already closed

Given back in the day when roadrunner had the original trains, myself and one of the supervisors actually managed to beat the capacity that the ride was stated in the manual (700 a hour with 2 trains) I very much doubt it. I was pretty much running down the platform to check those lap bars and doing our best to make sure that by the time the train was coming into the brakes we would be dispatching the next train.

Was certainly a work out back in the day lol. It was even funnier when the ride then faulted because we were dispatching too fast and the computer crapped out lol.

Each one needs to be checked, but it's done by the attendant and the supervisor in parallel, so in theory it wouldn't have an impact. I never noticed much difference between operating it pre and post refurbishment.

You'll never see that happening now; the procedure changed several years ago and now the supervisor can't leave their panel to check the harnesses until the other train is stopped in the brakes.

The supervisor didn't leave when I was there, they stayed behind the panel. I was the second loader on the exit side, this was back in the days of the single lap bar. Many good memories, back in the early 2010's when IMO operations and the overall park was probably at it's peak.

@Spotty i'm curious, how much do you think these changes to load times are because of management vs post 2016 safety laws? And to add to it enthusiasm working with friends (like your story above) vs i guess the i don't want to be here days everyone has.
