Dragster stuck on top again

http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/...e3519-1f9c-4d11-a74b-e3e2251f419b

This is the 3rd time it's happened - next due during the USA 2010 trip with RCCGB in the train .

Rumour has it that magnum recently got stuck at the top of the lift hill - my worse nightmare Smile

Surely this'd be easy to fix by incorporating a transfer wheel/motor at the top of these kind of rides. Then if it got stuck, set the wheel in motion to push the train over the edge.

I sadi the same thing a few months ago when it happened to Stealth. I even emailed Intamin, but no response!

So I guess the "stuck at the top" club would be even more exclusive than
the rollback club...

I'm sure RCCGB members would rather 'rock & roll' to try and get a roll-back. This was done some time ago but I believe the train went the wrong way?

A stuck at the top on my second time. How cool to go with the 2 rollbacks on 1st yr  Laughing

I'd like to get stuck at the top and be a member of that club. I mean, it's almost more exclusive to be in the "Never had a rollback" club nowadays.

(Not that i'm bitter) HAHAHA  Laughing

So I must say Lisa got 3 that night, including her exclusive rollback
for her and "Hot Wheels". Damn glad I got one or I might have been
going home with you guys.
I wonder if the train gets stuck, or if it stalls just right to balance on top.
When I got my rollback it felt like it could stall there. Seated on right side
I thought about grabbing the landing that is right there. I did touch it,
but felt it would be better to return to the station with both hands.

I wondered why there's no reports of this happening to Kinda and according to the' t'internet Kinda has 'magnetic brake fins' that will operate to push the train down the hill - hopefully on the right side (rollback)!
