    Matt, I do wish the Orbit stayed too. But to tell the truth the ride reached the end of its service life. Since Schwarzkopf went out of business, parts for Enterprises were discontinued as well.
    I remember in 2015, Orbit was closed most of the time because of maintenance and need for replacement parts.
    The ride just became harder and harder to maintain as time went on.
    It may be gone, but it had a good run.
    Plus they use one of its cabins and actual sign for Fright Fest for the Six Saints Cemetery.

    My new favorite series on RUclips. The cynicism is off the charts, I love it.

    Hi, I do educational videos on how rides work (somewhat diluted though). I might be doing a video on free spins in the near future. Do you mind if we use parts of this video with proper credit to you? Let us know if or if not. Thanks. :)

    Hey love these videos of how you operate the rides. On this ride, do you know why there is a ragin cagent box at the top of the lift on purple side?

      Was put up there by a certain mechanic for nostalgia while it was being built.

    I worked on the joker at great adventure and it was horrible... I absolutely hated it. It was holiday in the park so we were only running 3 trains, so waiting for the 2nd train to park was a nightmare. I hope I never have to operate it again.

    Do you happen to have any pictures/videos of the old Batman queue that they removed for Joker?

      I'd have to look. The entrance was by the Mardi gras stage, went over a river on a bridge and around crawler

      @@realsfgamfan btw will we actually be able to vote for you for park president, also I recommend that you look into making the member lounge more acceptable we have Batman pass memberships they say oh it's a season pass can't enter. The real question is it not a membership? So please fix the member lounge if you become park president. Thanks love your vids six flags should send then to trainees so they know how to operate it and get an idea how to operate the rides.

    What program does the computer run to see the information?

    • @realsfgamfan
      @realsfgamfan  5 лет назад

      Don't remember the name of it. But most of the rides used the same program so it must be some standard PLC monitoring program

    • @realsfgamfan
      @realsfgamfan  5 лет назад

      I show what the program looks like at some point in my flumes video. I've got a good pic of it at Giant Drop so maybe ill be able to remember when I look at that one

    No wonder you don’t sound as much. Never realized those fins helped it spin.
