Anyone got a few thousand dollars and an extreme love of the ride?
My favorite part is:
(Please note: Persons seated inside the vehicle should not activate the lap bar, as it might not be possible to release the lap bar from the down position.) :shock:

Yup. That's the rocket. Stupid sh*t hole that it was. (I was the first
person inside the mountain when we had the accident and it gave me
nightmares for about a year so I'm allowed to bag on it.)

What was the accident? Sorry, I didn't start working at the park til '02
and I never really paid attention to anything that went on in the park
before that.

From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, the brakes failed
as it was coming back into the station and it rear-ended another rocket.
No fatalities, but there were a few serious injuries I think. This was in the
summer of 2000, before the Roger Rabbit accident. I was working at the
Emporium the day it happened, and that's what we were told.

The 2 rockets colliding actually happened sometime last year before the
ride closed. The brakes actually didn't fail. There was a problem with the
park air line leading to the brakes. There weren't any real serious
injuries. I think a bloody nose was the worst. For the one that happened
in 2000, there was a bad bolt in one of the bogies. Not sure how much
detail I should actually get into since non-cm type people read this so this
is all I'll say.
