^ Nor I. I was just using common sense (which should never be used by engineers BTW!)

[braztazDon't make me kick you in the donkey!]

Yeah, I'm sure it was much easier just adding a little zero car than manufacturing a whole other 4-seater...

Of course our common sense is nothing compared to the reasoning of all those engineers. I'm sure there were a lot of reasons.

[jarmortoken black guy]

ok so does anyone know why manta, a coaster designed 12 years later has a zero car? Was it required or for thematic purpose only?

[let1greI wrote the book about donkeys!]

For some reason, I always thought the zero car was a somehow preventative measure for injuries if the trains happened to run into each other... guess not!

^EDIT: Let me shut up and learn to count rows...

[themeparkman25I get wet for Manta!]

^That is what I thought too, but after checking with RCDB - Apollo's, I just assumed I couldn't count or something. Guess they have it wrong!

Edit: Well, this entire page has been a fail so far ha ha. Apollo's has 9 rows, end of story.

[Skycoastin SteveFive babies drowned in a fire]

Apollo has 9 rows.

[VigilI just made a donkey in No Limits!]

Has anybody heard anything about the new tower ride recently? Most new attractions announcements come around this time, right? We have yet to get even a tease. I wonder if something is up...

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^All will be revealed in its own good time. BGW has always been good at keeping things quiet until they're ready.
