I will ask you a lot of question, sorry if I became a bit boring! :oops:
My first question is about B&M coasters:
- What's that? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/sinttuloep.jpg/ (in red)
- Does anyone have a picture of the lift motor on a sitting multiloop coaster (Kumba, Dragon Khan)

:lmao:


The area highlighted in red on the leftside of the pic is just the "crap catcher" used to keep loose items from falling under the ride while the top right arrow seems to be pointing to the track connector plate which has that little recessed groove in the tie which is standard on most B&M coasters.

Thanks you! :)

Hmmmmmmm... that's actually very interesting. My first thought would be the anti rollback and/or chain dog being pushed back down after experiencing airtime, but that's more of a clank sound, not a continuous roar like that.
