Oh wow, I'm glad they got everything back running pretty quickly, but it still sounds like they were down for a few hours. I can't wait to hear which ones it involved. I wonder how bad the rest of the lines got because of it!

Air Compressor's can also control the brakes for a rollercoaster, which would be why Space Mountain was closed.

And thus flying off the rails because the vehicle can't take the forces pushed upon it and subsequently dying. Yep, that's the way I'd want to go... :shock: :roll: :lol: :wink: :jack:
