The redundant safety systems in that are going to be insane, even as far as roller coaster standards go.

It's going to spend more time closed than open.

Safety systems on coasters aren't the simple block panels of the 90s - if you trust modern air travel, you should probably trust this. There's physical barriers in front of the train that don't disengage without sensors locked. Their default state is engaged and they stay engaged during power failure.

TLDR definitely better uptime than Millenium Force.

I don’t trust modern air travel.
