amelibeli75 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Title says it all. I am trying to solve a Physics problem but need to know a mass first. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if you can provide a source. I can't find any average range online, just need a feasible range of values to work with. Thanks in advance.10.0.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Are we talking about filled with fat ACErs or without? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

READERS’ MAILBAG: HOW MUCH DOES A BEAST TRAIN WEIGH? June 19, 2019 Don Helbig Area Manager Digital Marketing - Kings Island Twitter: @DonHelbig ... How much does a Beast train weigh? – Byron B., Dalton, GA Great question, Byron. Each car on The Beast weighs 2,300 pounds with the weight of a full train (without riders) 13,800 pounds. The cars have become heavier over the past 20 years with the cars originally weighing in at 1,500 pounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeagain? Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Many cars are roughly a ton. Both wood and steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I remember hearing in a video that the empty trains nemesis (alton towers) weighed around 10 000kg. I actually went to check this now and I found 9500. That would be around 1.2 tons (metric) or 1.3 imperial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 One crazy one that I've seen posted is that Skyrush's trains weigh 13 tons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 A standard 4 (3 bench) or 6 (2 bench) car PTC train used to weigh 6 tons. But that was with out all the extra crap they introduced in the 90s (individual lap bar lockers/bars/steel-core headrests, etc.) I remember reading a Millennium Force train weighs 28 tons. Geesh! No wonder it holds it's speed so well.

Is this true? Because it's a lot more than I expected and it looks like more than other similar sized trains weigh Does anyone know how much B&M flying coaster trains weigh? Those are supposed to be pretty heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 are you looking for how much an individual 4 person car weighs or a whole 24 person train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hopefully this answered your question. Just don't forget to factor in temperature and humidity into the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are supposed to be pretty heavy I would definitely look into that; I'd think with the very connected CP fan base, someone could get an answer on that. That is what I remember, but that was back in 1999. It could have been wrong. The number seemed very high to me at the time. Perhaps that's loaded weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
