The story is important and reading it was interesting but thanks

for not posting like a regular member in threads and getting a feel for the place before you post a thread. Very Spammy like.
Using the micrometer approach seemed like an appropriate testing method. It was discussed among state departments like the one that tested elevators for efficiency. I would take that approach in logic for stretching analysis. Does a mechanic always follow word for word methods for different automobile issues? They probably develop their own approaches and views during their career in working with systems in conjunction to suggested intervals and protocol.
Notice they talked to another chain Cedar Fair in approaching the day to day conditions of the ride for the California edition for lubricating the ride. It's not by the book and necessarily do average Joe's like me need to raise hell? There's more seasoned vets with years of experience to weigh in on this and to decide whether to raise hell or soothe the situation.
It's also one genre of ride and a particular model so does it need to warrant such a vague thread title?
I thought I read that this SFKK guy ordered new cables. The SFGADV Skyway gets its cables replaced about every decade I read on another site. Is it necessarily mechanics speaking? No, mainly we fans.
