We are proud that the 2016 Owners Meeting and Safety Symposium out of the classroom and onto an actual working flightline at a Skycoaster® Site for the first time.
On January 22 a
nd 23, 2016, Skycoaster® operators worldwide will be descending upon Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA. This year’s event will feature a series of hands-on workshops aiming to further acclimate operations teams with the ins and outs of the maintenance side of procedures with regards to the iconic attraction. These workshops will range from Flight Suit and Cable Inspections to Scissors-Lift Boarding Platform maintenance training.
“We received some great feedback from many sites at last year’s event that holding our annual safety symposium outdoors at an actual Skycoaster® was something that could be valuable for attendees” said Mark Rosenzweig, Skycoaster’s Managing Director. “In many of the larger corporate parks, operations teams are not able to take part in the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual maintenance procedures outlined in our Owners Manual and so this will give everyone a great opportunity to take part in a rotating series of workshops and become better acclimated with the maintenance side of things.”
Six Flags Magic Mountain has operated their 173’ Dual Lattice Arch Skycoaster® (dubbed Dare Devil) since 1996. “Our entire team at Six Flags Magic Mountain is excited to be hosting the 2016 Skycoaster® Owners Meeting this year” added Donald Spiller, SFMM’s Director of Operations. “We have enjoyed a great working relationship with Skycoaster through the years and to be able to host sites from around the world and showcase both our Skycoaster® and amazing park property will be a great experience for everyone.”
In commeration of Skycoaster’s upcoming 25th anniversary, a new anniversary logo was created that will be appearing on all new and inspected/serviced Flight Suits beginning in January of 2016.
