kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 I think they are magnetic brakes. But I can't be sure. They look like magnetic brakes to me. Your talking about the grey boxes in the middle of the track right? If so those are in the station to.
pkdcoaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Interesting, I still see the air tanks on the side so I guess it is a Hybrid braking system like B&M uses now. JEFF
CP_RULES Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 They just look like your standard Morgan brakes to me, but they could be magnetic, in fact I think they are.
waterviper Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 ART!!! Thank you sooooooo much for that ART picture!! Great Photo-TR Zack!! Where is the love for the RACER!!!?
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 I could barely find any places to get a pic of it! Just those two spots I posted.
Dailey Enterprizes Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 It takes skill, but it's possible to get pictures of the Racer from the Jackrabbit.
Guest Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Phantom's Revenge does have a new magnetic braking system this year. Thats why we don't hit the brakes so hard anymore. It got a little painful hitting the breaks at at least 45mph, and I can only imagine what it would be for guys.
kennywood!007 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 ^Yup. It did use to hurt a lot. Thats what everyone use to complain about. Now its a lot smoother and a longer stop. It makes the ride much more enjoyable.
coasterfreak101 Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Nice pics! I really wanna get up to Kennywood sometime, looks like a good time to be had! Can't wait for the video!
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 This one JEFF Those are electrical boxes. the magnet brakes are on the camelback before the brakes. They real brakes are just regular pinchers.
bleedsnomore134 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 awsome tr i love all the rides on the phantom you get lots of airtime at the end
