I don't know where to put this post but since it occurred on the balcony, I figured that this was as good of a place as any. Sunday during our annual Trimpers arm band day, my daughter and I were riding the Haunted House. As we exited onto the balcony, part of the door broke and off and jammed under our car. We were stopped dead. Just sat there for about 5 minutes. I looked back and noticed the house lights flash about 4 times so I knew they were on top of it. Short while later, here comes Scott, yanked the wood from in front of the car, a little push and we were on our way.

Flagger, that's awesome! Tell us more... which door was it, the outside or inner set of doors? Do you know if Scott fixed it or not? Did it back up the rest of the ride?

Brandon: It was the exit outer door. There was a black painted sheet of plywood on the inside of that door. I noticed it was loose earlier in the day on my first ride. I meant to tell the operator but got distracted and forgot. Later on, when my oldest daughter and I were riding was when it came completely off and got wedged under the car. The car actually jumped the track up front. We were actually expecting the get rearended but all of the safety features worked. We knew that there were at least 2 other cars stopped prior to getting into the room with the vampire and the busted mummy guy.

Sorry Mike, I shouldn't post when I'm trying to stay awake at work. I couldn't remember what it was called. It's the leaper with the missing fingers. When we were there riding, it never lept out.
