RollerC Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 In alot of wooden coasters, especially when it enteres a turn or helix, there is a whistling sound. What is that sound from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The wheels screeching along the track. You'll hear it even more when the train is "shuffling". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Grizzly's opening screech at PKD can send ants crawling on your spine--like fingernails on a chalkboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 GhostRider makes that sound when it makes it turn over the station and helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Thundercoaster at Tusenfryd sounds awful going through turns in dry weather. You know the sound is bad when passengers arent putting their fingers in their ears during the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanic Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Is the noise due to a lack of lubrication? It sure sounds like it. I noticed Ghostrider making some pretty shrill squeaking through the turnaround near the station this past week. I've noticed it on previous trips as well, but not to the same degree. On the flip side, I had one of the better rides that I've ever had on it (right front seat, 2nd car on the silver train). So if the squeaking has anything to do with the ride quality, I'll gladly put up with the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
