Hey, just got a call from a friend at DL - she says BTMRR just went down, and saw a couple security guards literally running over to the ride.

Anyone know what's up?

I'm thinking just a normal 101, but the running security guards really caught her attention.

(Of course, she calls me, knowing I have access to MP right now, and figures all of us geeks would know. ;))

Someone was standing up and doing other things on the ride so they stoped the ride and had security remove them from the park.

Don't worry, a full queue, up to the entrance, is only 30 minutes when they're running at full capacity (about 1800-2000 guests per hour). After it gets dark though, they usually reduce capacity and the line stays long all night long:mad:

BTMRR went 101 for a bit today, but was up for most of the day. We grabbed some fastpasses, per usual, as the park was jammed.

Big Thunder went down twice today 3/21 and was down two hours each time. I guess they are having problems with the new safety sensors etc.

I rode it with little E and a family friend at about 8:10am yesterday. We got there and walked up to the loading platform and there was a car loaded with people sitting at the station. We were directed to the loading gates but the train did not leave and all the CM's were standing around. About five minutes later, 3 maintenance guys walked up from the track and said something and they sent the train off. The maintenance guys didn't leave and they were only running that one car. We had to wait till it went all the way around. They loaded us and while they were doing that I heard the maintenance guys saying that they were going to ride in the next train.

We didn't ride it again but our family friend rode it about 8pm last night and said it was fine.

We tried to get a Fastpass around 5pm on Sunday night, but the ride was down and the FP machines were closed at that point.

Yeah, let's just hope they are fine-tuning the system and taking extra precautions (who could blame them!). This is my favorite DL ride (note my forum name:)) and is one of my daughter's top two favorites (the other being Matterhorn). Both of us are looking forward to being on BTMRR this summer once again.
