Thanks! Hopefully it won’t happen, but if it does, at least I’ll be prepared.
Any idea of why it happens when it does?

No, not really. Sometimes rides go down for whatever reason. Trust me, with 200ish paying guests pretty much there ONLY for 7DMT, Disney doesn’t want it not to open. But sometimes ride systems don’t cooperate.

Oh okay. I didn’t know if there was something i should look out for...you know, cause I’m a mom & not only do we like to be prepared, but we like to needlessly worry. LOL!!
Thanks GA!

It is an unusual design, was one of a kind when built, maybe still is. It goes through a series of checks in the morning and if it is slightly off they won't run it until it's ready. When we drove down that first day we knew DS1 would want to ride often. We decided on rope drop, FP+ and probably and hoping for a reasonable Standby late at night. I had painted him a "7DMT or Bust" neon green tshirt using the actual font/design of ride sign. Was a good move since they loved it and gave him another FP+. Anyway up WAY earlier than I like, rope drop, hustle to get in line ............... didn't clear checks and not opening. The line ended up back past Dumbo. I think we were at an hour, DS1 so patient sitting on ground. DS2 went for coffee and came across the imagineer in charge of NF and the ride. He remembered DS from Dining with Imagineer (he talked alot and had on same obnoxious hawaiian shirt) and DS told him we were in line. He said, don't leave the line hopefully not much longer (was about 2 hours total)... the ride operates different and has more to come in to play to clear the checks. Kinda sounds like it needs adjusting a lot. I know more than other rides I'll see it posted on MDE as "temporarily closed" and we have often had our FP+ cancelled.

Completely nothing to be aware of other than ........... I wonder how it's been last few weeks of cold days.... The company who made it is known for making coasters that can not operate in cold weather ... think it's something to do with grease and brakes.
