Alert
Word comes today that Darton Industries, the manufacturer of the "Cliff Hangar" ride have issued an advisory of potential problems with the ride. In a follow up call to Dartron we were told that; their safety man is in Allentown inspecting the ride to ascertain if there will be a followup to their "advisory" regarding possible "drag link" problems. The ride has not been shut down and no ride companies have been advised at this time to stop operating the ride. However further notification should be coming in a few hours up to a day or so. We have been advised that at least one established ride company operating on the east coast, has received the advisory and is concerned. Please watch this area for updates.
From Dartron Industries; here is a copy of the letter.

To all Cliff Hanger Owners/Operators and Inspectors:
We are aware of an incident that occurred on a Cliff Hanger yesterday August 26, 2010. Dartron is currently investigating the cause of the incident and at this time do not feel it was a structural design failure.
However, we would like to ask for everyone to look at the lower ears on the bearing base just above where the lower drag link pins for any indications and report any findings to Dartron. Additionally, we request that the spherical bearings located at each end of the drag link and in the ears of the bearing base have lubrication verified as well as smooth operation while in the lifting motion. This can be accomplished, while the ride is empty, with one operator at the controls while a second person watches the pivot points as the ride rises.
More information will be forwarded as soon as we have completed our investigation.
If you have any additional questions, please contact me.
Regards,
Albert J Frieden
