gafreak Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 was it because we wanted to give other parks a togo nightmare? just kidding, was it to keep the power demand low when a new coaster would arrive at the park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnerleroy Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 ^^going out on a limb but was it always just part of the ride rotation program and it was always scheduled to leave the park when it did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 ANSWER: After several power failures and shutdowns which left riders in an uncomfortable seated postion on the vertical lift, and after realizing that the evacuation process from the lift was less than ideal, it was decided that modifications to the ride were needed. The lift had to be reconfigured and expanded so that its 90 degree angle would be changed to a 45 degree incline. Rather than invest funds to disassemble the tower, pour new footings, and re-erect it at Great Adventure, it was decided that it would be more cost effective to rotate the ride and totally reinstall it at another park. The ride reopened at AstroWorld in 1990 with the new inclined lift hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
