I will say though… can we stop calling Lighting Rod a “launch”? It’s a magnetic lift hill, let’s be honest, there’s nothing “launch” about it.

LRods launch is for sure one-of-a-kind. There's nothing else like this ride out there. Nothing seems to be able to match this ride's amount of ejector airtime
@wildcatenthusiast8888 Жыл бұрын
I’ve seen two of those when I was in line for it. I got super lucky because I was on the first train after the ride reopened, and after I got out of the station after my ride the fire alarm sounded, and the building was evacuated. I’m pretty sure it just sounded because of the launch system, there was no actual fire and the ride reopened about an hour later.
@foog86 Жыл бұрын
The issue with LROD is the launch. You CANNOT have a very sensitive launching system on a swaying wooden structure. The solution is to tear down the entire lift structure and replace the structure with steel. Hopefully they do this soon enough so LROD can be ridden by everybody who wants to ride

This RMC hybrid roller coaster certainly won’t last for long after so many issues, and that wooden roller coasters in general just can’t handle the launched system very well and that they’ve been intended for the standard lift hill. The launched system has always been intended for steel roller coasters. All this down time is eating Herschend’s wallet and that in the next few or so years, they will surrender on the maintenance for this particular roller coaster.

i dont think people realize LR relaunches when it rolls back and doesnt evac lol. I got a rollback last year, the train comes to a stop towards the bottom of the launch track, they propel it backwards just enough to have it coast back forward into the fins, and then it launches like normal.

Lightning rod needs to be completely revamped, like closed for a season or two, or maybe three, redo track work, new trains, new launch system EVERYTHING, this coaster has so much potential( it shut down while i was waiting in line and I’m furious)

@Kentuckian Coasters yh the launch system was never the problem. The real Issue has always been the track. LSM launches require the trains not shaking or the track to not sway. Shaking and Swaying cases the train to not properly match up with the launch pins and Woodies are know for swaying and shaking. That's why Wooden Rollercoasters don't have any launch system whatsoever.

I would not be surprised that this would be the first RMC to get the axe in the coming years or less. It's a shame because this is a really popular ride but with all of it's maintenance problems and design flaws I don't think the park would want to invest any more money to fix something so problematic every week it seems like.

I’m certain they don’t have to go into pocket for it to get fixed every time. Undoubtedly there is a warranty. Parks wouldn’t spend tens of millions on a single project without there being stipulations of the manufacturer fixing problems that are are in their end.

Fortunately RMC doesn't work with velocity anymore when it comes to their projects because they manufacture practically every single part of their coasters now, the last time they would work with velocity magnetics would be in 2018 after Steel Vengeance was made and that roller coaster became problematic as well especially with the brake systems failing and not handling the weight of the train's which caused an accident on opening day.
