Maybe it’s five times the charm?
For the fifth time, since it opened in June, the cabin of the siren left motorcyclists in Cedar Point.
The popular train train stopped at the top of its 160-foot high elevator on July 26, forcing motorcyclists to have to walk on the evacuation stairs.
The series of unexpected “delays”, according to the Tony Clark spokesman, is the result that the coefficient safety system has stopped the ride before or in the middle of its signature signature function, where the riders are hanging in the middle before the train attaches to the track of the Cabota.

No one has been injured in any of the five cases where the Cabotage has stopped unexpectedly.
In two cases, the cabinet stopped the average slope.
If the cabinet safety system can be reset, the ride continues about 2966 feet to twist the track at a maximum speed of 58 miles / h.
When the system cannot be reset, Clark said, then the guests are accompanied by the evacuation stairs from the park staff.
In any case, the coefficient managed to reopen.
“In the last few weeks, the coefficient has experienced minor technical delays – similar to the light of Check Engine – which stopped his work,” Clark said. “Its safety system was executed as a designed, keeping all guests safe. After a complete check of the systems, guests either continue to ride, then went out to the station, or were safely accompanied by the trip, if a further examination was needed.
“Guest satisfaction is extremely important to us and we will continue to work closely with the ride manufacturer to deliver experience without interruption.”

Is the siren curse safe?
Cedar Point says the curse of the siren is equipped with a series of precautions to ensure that the cabotage work works as expected.
These “delays” are the result of kicking protective measures.
The Coaster101 site indicates that the curse of the siren makes an average of 240 runs per day or 7,200 for a 30-day period.
And when you look at the number of cases that the Cabotasha has suffered, it represents only one -tenth of one percent.
The enthusiastic of amusement transport Nick Weisenberger, a mechanical engineer who is the author of several books on the science of cabinets and works with Coaster101, said that the driving safety systems are presented properly.
“It is important to understand that the tingling rides are too designed for a failed execution,” he said. “There are hundreds of sensors and they all have to agree, otherwise the ride stops with an abundance of caution.”
Although this type of Cabotherators is new to the United States, he points out that those developed by Vekoma rides have been in other countries for a long time.
And there are other cases of a sloping Cabotanka, which leaves passengers to hang, including a highly advertised in Tawain in 2019.
Every time a new amusement park is being built, Vaisenberger said, there is a few “training curve” for the maintenance and operation department in each specific park and such delays should be expected.
“Ascape by Gringotts at Universal Studios Florida, discovered in 2014, has three segments based on movement, including a slope song,” he said. “He also experienced frequent exclusions and evacuations for the first few months before his reliability was smoothed.”
Wesenberger said he was on the curse of the cheese several times and loved him and would not hesitate to drive her again.
“Putting exactly in the middle is a sword with two blades-it was great for all the viral videos of the ride, working normally, but if it crashes at a dramatic angle for a few minutes, then it becomes viral for the wrong reasons,” he said.
