HRRR badly broken?

[truck1]

Perhaps HRRR was the first coaster experiencing these issues and USF were the ones who informed the Mauer Sohne? Perhaps the advisory was issued because of HRRR. I have no idea, just postulating.

Could very well be. But to play devils advocate, if they were the owner, that discovered the issue, why dont they come out and say, we found the problem, and this fix was implented due to our dilligence in safety.

That would go a longer way then its an urelated issue, as to why the coaster is down.Why not come out and say that we are performing scheduled maintanace on say track sensors, or upgrading the sensors to fully utilize the ride.(Dont know for sure but I did hear that the sensors were a reason for the origianl delay in opening.)Especially after the its opening soon. Wellmaybe not so soon.Itll be open this date.Well itll be open in the spring. (Im fairly certain the PR head is the same guy that was in charge of crowd control on HP opening day.)

If it were me as the PR head, and USF did find the issue, Id have said that we found it months ago, and have already had the fix in since this date.With allof the other issues that USF has had recently, Id be playing it to the max.

Ah Man! I was looking forward to riding HRRR on our upcoming trip. Even though there were a lot of mixed reviews, I love coasters and was really hoping to ride this. Oh well. Better safe than sorry I guess.

"We don't forecast when an attraction will reopen from annual maintenance due to the fluid nature of maintenance work and schedules," Schroder said.

Don't panic yet - they just don't have a date picked out.

I hope they get it done in 2 1/2 weeks then. But not sounding so good.

Saw this today. Me thinks that USF needs a new PR head.

HRRR to remain closed indefinitely

Its amazing Any cruiseline can scehdule maintanance for its ships, years inadvance, tell everyone the ship will be gone for x amount of days and the ship is back in x amount of days. Why cant USF do that for HRRR?

 

[truck1]

I just posted in a different thread about the same thing. Im going with USF wont acknowledge that there is an issue with the connecting bars, that has the service bulletin on them publicly.

Assuming that the ride is down for the connecting bar issues, figure Christmas time at best. Its a 2-3 month fix for the issue.

Sorry.

They are saying it is going down for maintenance....funny how that maintenance happens to fall right when HHN is due to begin...Guess this way they can keep the people in the houses....

 

[Clifton]

Could've been worse, if more issues the ride would pull a Final Destination 3.

 

[LoodlesNoodles]

As bummed as I am that it will no doubt be closed for my trip (as we were there last summer before it opened), from the sounds of it, it needs this!

Sorry.

It's not going to be that long. Nobody said it is a 2-3 month fix. That is conjecture. Annual maintenance has nothing to do with what the 2-3 month estimate was based on.

What difference does it make to them whether people are in the houses or on a ride?

 

[truck1]

That time estimate is in the service bulletin from the manufacturer. It stated that it will be 2-3 months before the fix is available.

 

[Lou Holtz]

The conjecture is you assuming that is what the problem is when they specifically say it is not.

On the official HHNXX map HRRR was one of the rides that was listed as being open, so originally it was going to be open during HHN untill this happened.

Finally, some appropriate theming.


JK.

 

[truck1]

Look at it this way, since there is way too much coincedence.
The Service bulletin comes out on Sept 2nd saying dont use the ride, theres an issue, and were working on it, the fix is 2-3 months away. The ride shuts down within a few days.
All of the cars are sitting in the courtyard, by BMG. Not in the maint. bldg.
What started off as unrelated problem, is now indefintiely closed.
Scheduled annual maintance, they know exactly how long something is going to be down. Even Disney will tell you that a ride is down from this tme to this time for rehab (annual or semi annual maint.)

This is exactly what I said to my husband

Having it down for what ever "fix" it needs is better than the alternative, IMO

wonder how long they think they can keep this story going? and more importantly why do they feel the need to not be completely open and honest about this?

Surely if its going to be closed months they can carry on with the maintenance story that long?
