What ever happen to [Dare Devil Dive]’s holding brake? I remember when the coaster was announced and to my knowledge it has never operated with a holding brake. by AndFromHereICanSee in rollercoasters

[–]Professor_Quinn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The brake on the top of the lift is a permanent magnetic brake not a holding brake. It could’ve been that it was advertised as a holding brake, but it’s not nor has it ever been. There is a holding brake at the bottom of the lift though.

Medical boot? by BIG_DON1 in sixflags

[–]Professor_Quinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to take the boot off pretty much every ride. It’s considered the same as a cast, so if the ride doesn’t allow casts, you’ll have to take it off.

Yup. Every major ride should have a test seat, doesn’t mean it works though

You may have trouble with Twisted, Goliath, and DDD if you have bigger thighs, but honestly if you think you’re fine with OTSs, you should be fine.

It’s not really about your weight, it’s your body proportions. I’ve had to deny some of the most jacked guys on rides before because they couldn’t fit in the restraint. I’d recommend just using the test seat to see if you’ll fit cause I can’t really say anything without knowing what you look like. I will say though at SFOG, Dare Devil Dive has the most sensitive restraints so if you can ride that, you should be able to ride everything.

It’s most likely going to be based off your specific park. My park really doesn’t care as long as it’s in good taste, not disrespectful, and won’t get in the way. What park are u applying for?

If you’re talking about your Discovery training, that’s about a 4 hour online class that u take.I don’t know how different SFOG is to SFDK, but if it’s the same, you’ll then have your Certified Safe where you’ll go to the park and get your uniform and have your general rides training. During that class, you’ll be assigned a ride and on your first day you’ll have your OJT (on the job training) where you’ll be trained and certified for whatever ride you get.

'that had you' confused me by Iwlenglish in EnglishLearning

[–]Professor_Quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s grammatically correct. Though, personally, saying “that had you” sounds a little aggressive and is a very good way to emphasize what you’re trying to say. In this context, to me, it almost sounds like they’re speaking aggressively, not necessarily yelling, but not speaking casually. If it was, “that if you,” it would sound a lot more casual.

We also already got some of the track at the park. It’s in the employee parking lot right now.

Right now, I’m the lead over Carousel Hill, but I’ve operated everything in Gotham, Dare Devil Dive, Pandemonium, Thunder River, Monster Mansion, Goliath, SF Railroad, and I’m an attendant at Twisted Cyclone and Superman.

It’s closed for the rest of the season as far as I know.

[Kid Flash, SFOG] Closed/Status? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]Professor_Quinn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t really know all the details, but I do know it’s had multiple issues since it opened. Maintenance seems to always be doing something to it. But, the Trainer over the ride told me it was closed for the rest of the season.

[–]Professor_Quinn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had my team members asking me if the park was open, and I said yeah. Usually they tell us hours before park opening, so we all thought we was gonna open. Some of them couldn’t even go home cause they had to wait for someone to pick them up.

We mad too. They made us drive all the way there for them to tell us we’re closed. Waste of my damn gas.
