Thanks again mate, interesting seeing March's Whizzer operate with one arm not spinning. Must've lost the chain that goes on the two cogs?

[Steve07]

yeah i noticed that in Gympie as well when it was there one arm wasnt working, it look like they put some rope around it to stop it from moving.. in bundy it was fixed and all arms were working....

i noted it being tested on the saturday with the arm working

[Force10]

That's doesn't seem right. I can't believe they were able to operate it with one arm out!

[speederbrad95]

yeah i know but it seemed fine the remainder of Saturday night at gympie

[Steve07]

yeah i notice that as well but i think i remember seeing it not working in the last few rides on saturday at Gympie, when in maryborough it wasnt working that arm, but in bundaberg was okay all arms were working??

If the rest of the ride is operating fine, then I don't see the issue in them running it. As long as they were not putting riders on the arm that was not working, especially if it's something so simple as the chain breaking which can't be fixed while in operation. Would be stupid to lose all the money and just have it running at 2/3 capacity until the end of the show. It's not like it was unsafe or anything...
