[img]According to sources, GhostRider??????s mid-course brake has been cranked up for a few reasons, but the primary reason is that once again GhostRider is in the process of tearing itself apart. Cash for a major and much needed overhaul was not in the cards before the 2011 Summer season, so maybe by 2012. In the meantime, you can expect the ride to come grinding to a near-halt here for the foreseeable future.
For a good example of what happens now, check out this new video posted on YouTube, taken hand-held by a couple of gals sitting in the back row. To avoid the unnecessary screaming and shakey-cam footage, jump ahead to about the 1:20 mark where the girl holding the camera responds to the sudden stop with a ??????We??????re stuck!?????? comment. Then compare it to this much older POV footage of GhostRider running through the same brake run (0:40) without so much as a hint of the brakes even being used at all. [/img]
