timetrial3141592 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Has anyone else noticed that Red Falcon (the "BIG ROLLER COASTER" at Hirakata) has an odd cross-bracing? The design seems to be banked on the running rails, but the bits connecting the vertical cross-braces to the spine are horizontal.[/img] See?
stormrider Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah, I noticed this as well a while ago. It's like, the spine never has to be bent in a 3d way. It stays flat. The ties are what have to be modified. Imagine the left side of the tie staying constant, but the right side gets "taller". Thus, banking occurs.

stormrider Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 I got that one as well, but two of the discs were glitchy. The Alvey's where very cool about it and I got two replacements that worked perfectly. There are lots of strange things in Japan compared to America, but that's why I got the video
