That's exactly how stuff like this accident happens. Yes, they can possibly have lasted another couple months, but something also could have caused it to snap.
Although that's not what I thought happened at KK, but it very well could have.
Those were some great pictures.
When I went last summer, the first day Raptor ran pretty rough but the second day it ran smooth as can be. I guess it just depends what time of day, and temp. it is.
Millenium Force was closed when we went, so I didn't get a chance to ride it.
When I was visiting Cedar Point this weekend, we saw the track being put in a vacant lot outside the park. All we know about this coaster is that it has a Red track, and we *think* it will be a western themed, by the teasers around the park.
Does anyone else know anything about this coaster?
