Question - First RC Double Platform Station?


Recommended Posts

I was wondering about this.

Which one was the first roller coaster build with double station platforms leading from/and to single track circuit?? ("Y" Switch before and after station).

I mean thing like King Da Ka, Tatsu or Batwing (at Six Flags America) has, obviously created to keep up with capacity of track when loading/unloading itself took longer than ride.

I honestly don't know. I'm not the kind of person who spends as much time with these little details as much as I do riding and having fun, so I'll throw this one out to the main forum and see if anyone else knows...

The ones I can think of off the top of my head are the Mr. Freeze coasters which have the sliding track, and California Screamin', which has the fork track.

I think possibly it was Big Thunder Mountain RR which opened in '79 at DL. Hard to imagine a park needing the added capacity allowances of a dual station Before DL did

 

That's a pretty good guess. I can't think of anything prior to that. But I don't really care to research either...

Both types of track switch work for me, just two platforms from/to one circuit track was the point, so far good answers, thank you for help. I am making a bit of notes. Other facts are a lot easier to find
