It seems fine to me. I just got back from Disney a few weeks ago.

hmm
Things like inspections of the sensors and major sections of the track. Maybe replace some sensors.
Also maybe fix some speakers in the cars.
There is lots of things that would be done to a coaster for maintanence.

^ Ok I have never ridden RnR every time Ive been the lines been way to long to stand in, but I know coasters pretty well and you are telling me that the boosters at the begining of the ride are used to slow the ride? or are you talking about the mid course boosters? If its the mid Course ones that just seems stupid to use them to slow the ride they are made to speed the ride along not slow it down. It should not need to be slowed down if it needs them to boost it along the track.

Thank you, I too thought that perhaps eddy21 was confused, because slowing trains cannot SPEED things up! :lol:

I guess now that I think about you can use boosters as block brakes and add another train but why would disney waste their money on that just for a mir one more train thru and hour.
EDDY21 is not confused, there are boosters at load and unload to move the trains, and they are being used to slow trains. This allows about 1 more train an hour to be cycled thru.
If you look at: http://www.funworldmagazine.com/2003/Jul03/Features/3_2_1_Launch!/3_2_1_Launch!.html
You will also notice that RNR is launched using a magnetic system, not boosters.

Sorry to resurrect a nearly dead thread, BUT...
RnRC had been rumored to be rehabbed during January...Anyone know anything more on this? It's still not listed as official, though Splash Mountain is. I'll be down Jan 20-27 and have never had a chance to ride Tower of Terror or RnRC. The last time I was in WDW I was pregnant, and the time before that ToT was being rehabbed and RnRC was being built. Alas, I have the funding and opportunity to go again in January--AND I'm not preggers for the 1st time it what seems like an eternity. I'm dying to experience both of these awesome rides. If anyone has an update, I'd deeply appreciate the info!

It is my understanding that RnR uses a pusher cart to accelerate the trains and not magnets.
EDIT:
I looked into it futher and found that its actually a combination of the 2.

RnR is alright. I never noticed anything wrong with the sound, so I suspect it's probably just routine coaster maintenance. RnRC doesnt really thrill me that much anymore anyway.

So it seems some posters (from this board & others) can confirm that RnRC will be refurbished in January.. But, for some odd reason Disney will not announce the rehab to the public? I don't get it. :brick:
Does anyone think that Disney just won't officially announce the RNRC rehab... Then one day in January they will just close RnRC down and leave it closed for a month? Have they ever done something like this before with a big attraction.. I can't recall anything off the top of my head?

This is what I was getting at. Would it just close with little to no warning?

Everything is pointless without inside info.
