I don't think that all the "big cock up's" that you are talking about are due to Intamin alone, since it's RC Stengel that were behind it, and Intamin build Maverick to their design...
Same thing would probably be applicable on I305 (if Stengel were involved).

I think Snoo maybe meant to say there hasn't been an Intamin at CP that has NOT had a cock-up, as opposed to this is the first? But, typed it wrong and hasn't noticed? Or he's just lame.
TTD? Sprayed people with cables, the whole theming falling off thing.
Wicked Twister? The whole "might fall over, put on some extra supports" thing.
Maverick? Obvious.
And Millennium must have had SOMETHING wrong with it
Wasn't there a cable hanging from it a while ago? That's not good.
Was there anything wrong with Disaster Transport? Other than being awful I mean?

I think all of the above.. :lol:
TTD's cable fray wasn't really a cock up I was talking about. I'd say the MASSIVE amounts of downtime in it's first 3 years due to the fact that it was a new type (as in speed/height) and the fact the trains (which might not have been intamins fault) had to be changed, redesigned, this that and the other thing.
WT.. agreed.
DT.. actually.. I agree.. I don't remember anything wrong with it.. asides the terrible thing.
Mav.. yep
MF.. well, off the top of my head, I can't think of many problems.. I remember the cable snapping twice.. which might or might not be their fault.. but lets blame them for the fun of it.. :lol:

F.A.S.T. said:
Personally knowing some of the maintenance guys...I'm actually very shocked worse things haven't happened.
Intamin tries to do new things with new tech. The problem is...they try too big on brand new things (see TTD for launch). So, it's really their fault for not thinking through with it.

I still can't believe that Pilgrim's Plunge opened on time, but this has been delayed more than a month already.
Win!
Two friends were able to ride STR during an employee ride night before the boats were deemed too awesome for the general public; they said the ride was pretty fun though excessive floating around lead to boredom on the back portion. Apparently the second hill had massive water splashing aboard, which may have been reason for the problem with the shape and size of the boats.
Either way, Sandusky, Ohio is entering those hot and humid summer days, and Cedar Point still doesn't have a working log flume.

Oh! And to feed the Falfas/Kinzel gossip, a chat with inside sources spoke of a rumor that something illegal went down inside Cedar Fair, which is why Falfas got flustered and left, with a potential lawsuit in the works for Cedar Fair.
Juicy!
