Well for one thing, they're not using the correct trains. The ride was designed to run with 5 car trains but is now running a train from Mindbender with only 3 cars. The shorter trains will engage with fewer drive wheels on the lift which might make slipping more likely.

Tyre driven lifts aren't generally failsafe. Thirteen's wet weather closures in recent years are widely considered to be due to trains slipping on the lift, despite having the drive wheels much closer together and using significantly lighter trains than Triple Loop

Recently seen the park getting some stick for removing the free water fountains and charging five dollars for a cup of water out of soda machines.

Exciting News, Thrill Seekers!

We've heard your feedback loud and clear! We're thrilled to announce a major upgrade to the All American Triple Loop—after testing by our third party engineering group, we have determined that the Over The Shoulder Restraints are not required nor necessary.

Great move!

Is it actually new trains or are they just chopping the OTSRs off the existing ones?

From what I gather, that wasn’t the source of a lot of the issues the ride was facing…
