I'm glad I got a chance to ride it the other night. We were there for EMH and waited for an hour in the single rider line. They honored fast passes from earlier that day all night. Really annoying but after that we rode tower of terror twice in a row!:D

Well I have 3 fastpasses leftover from Friday. Only got to use one of them because it was broken all day except for about an hour. I'm just glad I got to ride once.

It wasn't open today either. I just got back from my Ratatoullie meet & greet and the other guest in line were talking about not being able to ride today. I'm heading back there now so if it opens today, I'll give an update.

Yes.....exactly.....


Yesterday and (mostly) today, guests were VERY ed about it being closed. They had Tower Of Terror open until 11 (an hour extra; park closes at 10) as well as added a second Fantasmic! (Don't know why they would only plan on having one on a SW Weekend Saturday anyways...)

From my understanding, it does not go with whether it's the weekends, or Star Wars, for that matter. There are usually two gigs on Magic Hour days.

This same problem has been happening for the last week and a half. They still didn't know what was causing it as of 4PM today and the ride never opened. They called in engineering managers and even flew in cast from California to work on the problem. Yes it is a major attraction, but if they can't find the root of the problem, they can't fix it.

Actually when i was down there in the first of June i asked one of the workers there what was going wrong and he said he didn't know but what was happening when i was down there the ride would go towards the sign and then Aerosmith would come over the speakers and count down 5... 4... 3.. 2... 1... and then nothing would happen we would just sit there and go nowhere and after about five minutes we just took off out of the blue and everyone started screaming because we where not expecting it

Sound like a problem with the LSMs - though if you were launched eventually perhaps its a power supply issue; the launcher taking longer to charge than normal?

Just clutching at straws.

I would have to agree with the idea of a power supply issue, it seems as though maybe the supply line might have some kind of a leak so to speak. So maybe b/c this line is leaking it takes longer than it should to gain the needed power to take off.....

Well, I don't worry about what you know, I'm just telling everyone what I know. I honestly don't care where your sources are, but if they're wrong, I'm going to call you out.

Coaster was closed again today and most likely will not open at all tonight. It may be closed for a few more days. It's not a power supply issue. Power is one thing they don't have a problem with right now. They have tested everything they could think of and are calling in the big wigs to take a shot at it.

So what is the issue? What is the REASON why the attraction is not operating?

So that I can cut down on some of the PMs I'm getting about this:

This is totally out of my department and I don't know what's going on. If I get information in the future about what's going on, I may or may not post it. If I do, it will be in a post, not in private messages.

Thanks for the understanding :)

Problems with the LSM launch system coupled with the blocking system not working properly either... two major problems.

I heard that they are shooting for it opening tuesday or wednesday, but no guarentee.

They have to know what the issue is. Is it a pothole in the queue? Is the paint peeling off the ceiling? Will the train not move? Will the train not stop?

They must know the issue.

edit: thanks Tom Morrow
