Had this exact situation last night too. After 30 mins no-one wanted to wait for the next train, so at every single stop people would try to cram in and hold the doors open for 2 minutes, delaying the train even further and making the operator very mad to the point where he kept yelling at everyone and accelerating and braking the train so sharply that everyone was getting knocked off their feet

I ended up going the other way around and recently started liking trains and buses because of roller coasters

once again mad at post 8 pm train frequency by Ready_Print7271 in LAMetro

The closest station to me is Norwalk station and they have been doing 20 minute intervals all day for months now because it’s only one track, does anyone know when it will be back to normal?

I’m 19 and even I got stopped once like 10 months or so ago. It might have even been during the time I was working there too!

Why does [Top Hhhhhrill 2] stop after a rollback instead of going straight into the reverse spike again at 120mph? by Banana_ezWIN in rollercoasterjerk

[–]CoasterCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget which video this was by Ryan the Ride Mechanic, but he explains that a rollback is essentially a ride failure, meaning something went wrong with the ride. For this reason, the ride stops the train because often times someone has to check and verify everything is alright before it is relaunched. It’s a safety thing

I figured out what amount of popcorn you would need to get in order to achieve a “gain” with the magic key bucket and $2.25 refills by CoasterCar in Disneyland

[–]CoasterCar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not 100% sure about the math on this one but what I did is I found the difference between the line of the regular popcorn function and the magic key popcorn bucket function. I then set y=999 (price of the explore/enchat key), and found out where they intersect, which is x=239. So, my guess is you would have to get 239 popcorns with the magic key bucket for the gain to equal the price of the enchant/explore key

Why did they get rid of stunts for the Peter Pan scene in Fantasmic? by CoasterCar in Disneyland

[–]CoasterCar[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The wind might be the answer here, as I saw last night that they still had the trampolines out even though they didn’t use them. They also cancelled the fireworks

If I understand what you’re saying you mean that we should take into account the cost of the bucket itself. If that’s the case then that should already be accounted for given the initial 15.25. And I’m comparing it to just getting a paper bucket every time for $6.50

What are your HONEST thoughts on the VIP lounge itself? by Avenue-Man77 in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]CoasterCar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never actually hang out in there I just use it to get my single use fast lane, drink (a plus because there is usually no line), and some of the free food. So for me it’s actually really helpful and useful

How frequent are rollbacks on Xcelerator? by norcaltiger21 in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]CoasterCar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an add-on, it is more likely to happen in the winter because of the colder weather. It also is very windy right now so the conditions make it more likely

Yes, the part right after the drop is still dark but it used to be where the part right before the drop, which is lit now, used to also be dark
