Why??? Better to just let it valley inbetween like they just ended up doing later anyway, less jarring than slamming to a stop nearly upside down. Tmcdllr wrote: Xtreme-me wrote: W R O N G!!! Revolution was a Shwartzcoph (Which is totally spelled wrong) and was the first coaster to have a loop, Intamin is lying through their teeth... Actually, Intamin custom built it based on the design of Schwarzkopf. Major misconception: Quote: Anton Schwarzkopf had numerous other companies, supporting him and his company with parts. At its best time, the Schwarzkopf company had about 200 to 250 employees and was represented outside of Germany by the INTAMIN company. Note: INTAMIN often appears as the builder of Schwarzkopf rides - nope - they only represented him! http://schwarzkopf.coaster.net/unternehmenGF.htm Schwarzkopf had been building their own coasters since the early 60's, long before Intamin the ride broker was ever conceived. Intamin the coaster builder didn't even build their own coasters until 1979's Jr Gemini.

SFGAm Shock Wave I Love Donkeys! Joined: 20 Sep 2005 Total posts: 87 Location: Earth Age: 21 Gender: Male	Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2007 4:43 pm    Post subject: ^ and ^^ That is not an E-Stop. That is a Tower 2 miscatch. The loop brakes stay closed until the train reaches the top of the tower. (Same idea regarding Tower 1 and the Boomerang brakes) If those brakes did not stop it there, there is a possibility that the train could make it through the loop and valley between the loop and boomerang. If that happened, they would have to evac, and the ride would be down for days instead of 15 - 30 minutes Last edited by SFGAm Shock Wave on Mon Dec 31, 2007 4:46 pm

I could be wrong but I believe it's to keep the train from clearing the loop during a valley and getting stuck between the cobra and loop which would make it a lot harder to evacuate riders. I wonder if Deja still has it's almost daily over/under shoots. edit: I see someone beat me to the answer Last edited by Deadnight Warrior on Mon Dec 31, 2007 4:47 pm

I for one am certainly pleased to see the park removing the old ride, and I'm looking forward to what may replace it!  Description: The steel dives are no more!  Viewed:  8982 Time(s)  Description: There used to be an airtime hill here.  Viewed:  8982 Time(s)  Description: One day this view will hopefully be of something bigger and better!  Viewed:  8982 Time(s)  Description: Everything beyond where the station was looks cleared.  Viewed:  8982 Time(s)  Description: While I never found Flashback as bad as some others, I'm looking forward to what this land may be used for.  Viewed:  8982 Time(s)  Description: "I'm on the road to nowhere..."  Viewed:  8982 Time(s) _________________ TPR Hoodies are BACK!
