Depending on how tall the brake run is the train may not have enough speed to maneuver too many elements as those trains act like sails when they hit the wind. -

^That doesn't necessarily make sense if they're within the same park chain.......... -
^You're absolutely right. The X2 crew has been on it. Only been to the park 4 times this year but all 4 times they were sending a train to the lift while the other was coming through transfer into "unload." Sucks that S&S still has it programmed to stop a train in the former "unload" even though the "load" station is unoccupied.

Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread

^$20 it will be called something original like Goliath. -
^^I'd say it probably evens out. Hydraulic launches have an insane amount of mechanical issues/failures. They are costly to maintain. However, per launch probably cheaper to run. LSM/LIM launches have 90% electrical problems as they have no moving parts. They cost more to run per launch but are a lot more reliable. ^Are you an inside salesman for Intamin? Intamin will sell anything to anyone with the $$$. Air powered Hydraulic launch? Sounds interesting......

"Our Millennium Flyer trains may be available for existing wooden roller coasters that meet Great Coasters' strict standards for track and structure condition, as well as acceptable dynamic profiles. We are available to assess these conditions and help you with any necessary improvements that may be required in order to make your coaster fly." Source: GCI Site They WILL sell the MF trains for existing wooden coasters however GCI engineers need to evaluate the track first.
