Anonymous Coward User ID: 72308073 United States 06/26/2016 02:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wish i could get a closer look at that bogie laying on the ground. But it sure looks like brown color, which indicates rust. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72308073 People were saying the ride was hanging together by rust. Not sure if this weakens the metal? Since it was a suspended type, all the weight is on those bogies, all roller coaster manufactures forbid any welding to the bogies, if welds are cracked and or damaged, it must be replaced, the whole assembly you see laying on the ground. I'll bet there was a recent weld repair done, in that case, the welders certifications will be brought up in the investigation. Still a no, no. |
