@Strongvirus15 This is ironic to ask this on this video...The reason is because they need the nighttime hours for checking attractions and maintenance...If maintenance time is reduced we end up with what you see in this video...

@gardengrowsevenonefo I am going to let this comment stay. It shows what some members of youtube are like.

Safety was always my number one concern when I worked at Universal Hollywood on Jurassic Park. Whenever I heard or saw something wrong with one of the boats or figures it was always reported. Sometimes the problem was fixed though mainly the only cared about how many dispatches were place through the day.

@webkinzinspace I know you replied to calicofan98 but i will try to answer your question. When the axel broke the train was inside a tunnel.

@calicofan998 @calicofan998 : there were many reasons but one that stands out is that they were under orders to run the trains unless there was a major problem..the castmembers were also under pressure of hourly counts of number of people . if they took a train "offline" the counts would drop. The managemnt that was running the park at that time are gone. hopefully we will never see those policies at Disneyland again. Click on the link in the descrption for more detail.

@calicofan998 exactly. why didn't the people yell when the axel broke? it would've been able to hear or see.

[calicofan998]

@dldhistory55 why didn't the operators stop the ride when they heard a noise instead of just ignoring it and letting this happen

[calicofan998]

why didn't the operators stop the ride when they heard a weird noise
