RollerCoasters
A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.
Here are some important resources:
Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).
Some basic rules:
-
Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.
-
Back up facts with sources as much as possible
-
No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.
-
No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.
-
Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.
-
No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)
-
No posting personal information.
-
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

I honestly don't think this is strictly a S&S thing. It may be more related to a vendor that they used for this ride. As for what it is I believe it's been a mixture of train issues and structural issues. The trains weren't really an issue until they changed the seat belt locking system per, IIRC, a parques reunidos regulation..... I think those may be taken care of but there's been repeated times that crews have been spotted welding parts of the structure. My hope is that the ride is closed this time to finally fix those issues once and for all but time will tell.
It's been a nightmare of a ride for sure but I don't think it's a direct concern of future S&S installations per se. Max Force hasn't seemed to have anywhere near this level of issues and the free spins and other rides have been pretty reliable.
