Any Rumored FM or FITH Improvements?

Pardon, here is another 30 year plus old memory from me. Maintenance issues generally were addressed fairly quickly. Sometimes, crews stay over at night to repair stuff, other times, repairs are made an hour or two before park opened. However, there are times when something will not be working for a week or so until a part comes in or a better solution to a recurring problem is devised. I cannot tell you how many times I'd get to work an hour before park opening and stumble upon a guy or two in the mansion or the treehouse who scared the c--p out of me because I was not expecting to bump into anybody in those places at that time of the day! That is when I showed up to clean and sweep. I also think people (guests) are more observant today than in years past...and when something does not work for a few days the issue is discussed on Internet, communication is better, faster, and so something small can be noticed by more in a shorter period of time.

The other day FITH's music outside was loud enough to hear.

Yes, my DH and I commented about how loud FITH's music outside the ride was. Much louder than usual.

I'm ashamed of all y'all! You should have your own internal dialogue running throughout the entire ride(s), and if the sound track isn't working, just "think out LOUD" for everyone to hear!

It has worked every time I have ridden it this season. I did ask about it and was told that it was doen for a few days because of a bad censor. it was fixed during off days and then it worked off and on for a day or so because the censor had to be adjusted.

Sounds like sensorship.

didn't they FITH used to have a red light on on the last drop? I could have sworn there used to be one. I haven't seen in on in the last few years, so I'm not sure if it's something I made up from my childhood?

I don't remember a red light, all I remember is the train light. Maybe there was a red light a long time ago? Someone else will have to shed some light on the subject.

Red light is a bit vague. Are you saying that you saw a red light bulb, or an aura of red light, or a window with a fire (red light) showing through, or what?

FireInTheHole · August 01, 2011, 12:41:57 PM

I want to say as you come downt there was a red light aura. Again, I could have imagined it!

Noticed this past weekend on the final drop it appeared they had an LED strobe light. It didn't flash, it just came on and allowed you to see the water splashing up. They had the water turned down so you did not get wet. The ride op mentioned they already had the settings in place for the ride that occur during OTC.

Forgot to mention in my previous post about the new targets in the Flooded Mine. Not sure how long they have been there but they seemed to have been added since my last trip in late July. Some of the targets when you hit them squirted water on you. I asked the ride op when I got off and he said they had been adding some new things. Only rode FM once so didn't get a chance to really study any changes.
