TTD STUCK ON TOP!!!

[CoasterFanatic]

Phazan, have you ever tried to push a really heavy object. It takes more than wind.

 

// perfectly balanced

[phazan]

but if it were perfectly balanced it doesnt really matter how heavy it is.

It's not too hard to believe, that train is pretty heavy (even after the spoiler and tires were removed) and it's a sharp change in direction. If it has just a tiny bit less power than it needs, of course it will run out of momentum at the top.

I don't believe there's any kind of brake or tire drive up there. If a man can push a truck while it's in neutral, there's no reason he wouldn't be able to push a Dragster train over the top. Granted it is heavy, but on wheels it would just need a little momentum to get going again.

Nothing new, but your a lil late on the news.

 

This has happened before, not only once, but 5 times now.

 

Only 2 times with riders.

 

Congrats on reading the article.

 

Was there video of the last time it got stuck with riders on it?

 

No?

 

Then I think maybe this qualifies as being NEW.

 

Or are you implying that it's nothing new that whoever started this thread is late with the news?

 

Either way, your post came across as being really unnecessarily smarmy. If it's not news to you, why'd you waste your time reading the post?

If some park put brakes on the top, I would just say that the park wasted money on a worthless part of a roller coaster. The only kind of wind that could push something down of that weight are hurricane force winds. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just stating the facts.

sorry, i accidently double posted.

[phazan]

okay well i never said the wind would push the train down, and i never said there were brakes at the top. i was just saying that it looks like there is something holding it there. i never even said that it isnt balanced. so dont get on me because im not trying to be a no it all!

Im bringing this topic back from the dead because ive been on vacation and away from the forums so i have the right to do it..

 

Anyways, I dont even see the point of having brakes on the top.... it might help it run better...
