Anthlon Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I was wondering about this. Which one was the first roller coaster build with double station platforms leading from/and to single track circuit?? ("Y" Switch before and after station). I mean thing like King Da Ka, Tatsu or Batwing (at Six Flags America) has, obviously created to keep up with capacity of track when loading/unloading itself took longer than ride.
robbalvey Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I honestly don't know. I'm not the kind of person who spends as much time with these little details as much as I do riding and having fun, so I'll throw this one out to the main forum and see if anyone else knows...
Paradox Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 The closest thing I could find was the TOGO built Standing Coaster at Rusutsu Resort which was built in 1985.
A.J. Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 The ones I can think of off the top of my head are the Mr. Freeze coasters which have the sliding track, and California Screamin', which has the fork track.
nynehalem Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I think possibly it was Big Thunder Mountain RR which opened in '79 at DL. Hard to imagine a park needing the added capacity allowances of a dual station Before DL did

Hard to imagine a park needing the added capacity allowances of a dual station Before DL did That's a pretty good guess. I can't think of anything prior to that. But I don't really care to research either...
Anthlon Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 The ones I can think of off the top of my head are the Mr. Freeze coasters which have the sliding track, and California Screamin', which has the fork track. Both types of track switch work for me, just two platforms from/to one circuit track was the point, so far good answers, thank you for help. I am making a bit of notes. Other facts are a lot easier to find
