    I know how they check Cyclone and Thunderbolt in the morning, but how does it work for the steel coasters? Do they walk Bizarro?

    I think they only walk the lift in the morning because steel is more reliable than wood is. They do inspect the whole track but just not as often. I think they mostly rely on testing the trains as checks. I could be wrong though.

    Steel coasters do not get walked. There is not place to walk them. The computer system checks just about everything. Not sure about SFNE but often Maintenance will do a quick visual inspection of brakes and wheels. Basically you run the trains through to get the timing down.

    smm2197 - they really can't visually inspect the track itself. Periodically you actually have the track and supports x-rayed to look for fractures in the steel.
