I agree

@walterandclaude Thanks! I still have to get the other 3 B&Ms there out before the new season starts.

@LTCoasters That would be great. I love nerding out over the engineering of a coaster. That's how I became an enthusiast. I was in awe of the incredible feats and intelligence it took to make it possible, and so safe. We often take it for granted.

@walterandclaude So true. I love learning new things about a coaster I thought I knew.

Thanks! So you want to go up and change the brass on that mid course? It looks challenging.

@ not bad. If the hardware is not corroded it would take about 45min. But it will suck to lug all the plates up there and back down. That stuff is not light.

Yikes, I didn't even think about how much a set of plates would weigh, let alone multiples.

@ yea one set is about 50is lbs of brass. But it’s not the weight it’s the weight plus the climb.

Thanks! I was so happy I was able to get the train sitting so perfect over its stators.

@typicaluser4116 That would be great skyrush is fast.

@typicaluser4116 Yes, we were told at Coastermainia that it would happen for its 25th season. This was told to us by the guy in charge of ride maintenance. It was also confirmed by park connections to the coaster.

@typicaluser4116 oh BTW the new motor was at the park in early August.

Thanks! I try to learn and pass it on.

Came here to say the exact same thing. Keep up the great work! If Ryan notices, that's sayin' something!

@@TrueLies23 thanks!

@josephmoore2820 I doubt that as the Steel on TT2s top hat is older and not the issue with that ride. It is always a possibility, though, and that is something only NDT (non destructive testing) and engineers can anwser.

@@skyguyismyguyr12turn Hi

@@LTCoasters I got to ride Kingda Ka more times about 2 months ago. I think the rumors of it closing forever aren't true, but it's just sad to me how launches as powerful as Kingda Ka are starting to go away. I think Kingda Ka is more iconic than Top Thrill Dragster ever was and too famous for Six Flags Great Adventure to give up on in any way, shape, or form.

@skyguyismyguyr12turn I think if they were true we would be hearing about another ride being built soon. Only time will tell, though. I can see the mostly Cedar Fair board doing it give the North American record back to Cedar Point. I think Siren's Curse proves who the golden child still is as it could have gone to other parks. I will take a new coaster.

@@LTCoasters Honestly, Cedar Point doesn't deserve to be the number 1 child in the new Six Flags superchain anymore.

@Sasskitten You're welcome! Congrats on the weight-loss. My wake-up call was Gatekeeper. I just barely made it last year. Oh, that's a good idea too, I usually go by myself though.

@@LTCoasters hey speaking of gatekeeper did you know that fourth row from the front on the left side is for bigger people? and I guess another way to know if a seat is for bigger people is that it is a different color seatbelt. I also was able to get on mineride (Barely and my legs didn't help lol.) and Iron Dragon. (But I have aa feelking I could always get on that.)

@Sasskitten Yes, almost all B&M coasters that have a row 4 have at least 2 plus size seats in that row. I just felt so bad watching a 110lb woman try to squish me in the seat.

@@LTCoasters That is how I feel when they have to do that for me. I mean people don't seem to make fun or giggle like they used to when they watch something like that but they are on a time limit and don't want to have to stop the ride and seeing these four ride attendants for mineride have to combine their strength together to get just one click of the bar. Oh and I guess their drop coaster Has an entire row for plus size. I would have rode that but by that time my tummy was not feeling it and I needed a place to sit and cool down. Me and my niece we laughed about how I stood up on the side edge of Iron dragon (I couldn't get my leg over) and froze because it a long way to jump and I wasn't as young as I used to be and was like "I'm gonna die!"

You're welcome

You're welcome, It was a large surprise on my way for first train on Millennium Force.

@@ryantheridemechanic Thanks!

@@virginiaterry6425 Yeah, and we all should do it more often.

@ryantheridemechanic True, part of the reason that 155mph launch coaster struggles with motors way up the side. But I often wonder is it the motors or the human ability to handle it. If we really poured max current down them. I have said before I'm OK blacking out small cities to get the voltage and current I need, haha. Yes, I know things would start to overheat and basically melt. I appreciate your comments on every video.

@ryantheridemechanic the guy that does the voice for that skull, is hilarious. I have just stood out of his line of sight a few times to laugh.

@ryantheridemechanic Haha, you noticed the slight dig. Well, it has been more of a huge lawn ornament this year. However, the spot I showed is a lot larger across the road inside the park. This small area is outside and next to the Marina. Yes, I noticed later they mentioned the exact spot I was talking about in the stills. Usually rushing is bad case in point. I'm just happy I get to investigate a newer design and how it works in person.

@ryantheridemechanic Yes, they are which means it will be named Aquaman mo matter what it is, Haha.

@ryantheridemechanic Thanks! I think I reversed the Rougarou stills. Those tears came with snot, haha

@ryantheridemechanic I will have to ride Maverick after all those fries, It's a fluffy friendly Intamin.

Trade name for those are light curtains.

​@ryantheridemechanic Thanks, Ryan! I remembered hearing it a few time in your videos and it finally clicked that's what they were. Hence, the very awkward comment instead of in the already loaded video

@@LTCoasters when you get the channel larger you will find it’s easier to make a correction in the comments or description rather than try to reload the video again. I think a lot op people to this. Especially like myself who does things unscripted.

@@ryantheridemechanic Thanks again, I appreciate the help and support!

@ryantheridemechanic Yes, I was surprised to if you listened close to the audio. From what I can gather riding it today the second boat can sit right behind the one you see about to drop. As the boat in the drop position has been pulled up onto the drop out of the water by some type of conveyor that can be stopped so another boat can't enter that block.

@ryantheridemechanic That was fun! I'm just glad I wasn't in the middle of the bridge my phone would have gone swimming.

Yeah, I did! Are you going to figure it out too? Haha! Thanks

@bobthebear1246 Yeah, it was a full cycle. I was disappointed when I realized how short the ride is.
