I do not see long brake runs as new thing..because they aren't. Are people just too accustomed to seeing really short ones?

 

Long break runs on Intamins are not new. Long break runs on B&Ms most definitely are.... especially when they're a good 50-100 ft in the air.

 

 

Are you kidding me? Look at the Rid of steel and Superman at SFA brake run...BARELY long enough to fit the entire train on . Though I will admit Thunder Dolphin at Laqua's brakes are INSANELY tooo long.

 

http://rcdb.com/699.htm?p=7101 Superman Ride of Steel, the brakes after the station are maybe 50 feet or less in length to the station.

I am suprised in videos of Bizarro and the whole fleet of Superman hypers that how short they are, it's kind of scary when you think about it. Though where is the transfer track, it wouldn't be logical to have the switch track on the same track as the main brakes.

So looks like that's Terry of London in Splash Works? Looks good so far.

 

So, are there any rumblings of any major work around Leviathan as in a new plaza area or something? After the crazy line ups last time when Behemoth opened up, I hope they kind of find a way to account for the crazy crowds that will now be over there.

I understand that the long brake run is for being able to use a three train operation.

 

What I don't understand is where to switch track is gonna be located on this?

 

If you look at this link http://www.cwmania.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=2222&start=75, the second picture shows long concrete "bars". I think thats where the switch track will be.

 

Also, is it just me or the supports for the 306 foot lift hill where supposed to be different??? Look at CW''s profile picture (

)

Then look at this picture (http://www.cwmania.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=2222).

 

The supports are different and nothing is supporting the top (in the second link to CW Mania)!!!

As far as I can tell, CW's profile picture is a different part of the ride and does not show the supports on the lift hill. That being said, yes there is nothing supporting the very top of the lift hill. I'm guessing it's B&M's own version of I305's supports and that the track spine will be thicker than normal to compensate for the lack of support.
