BSBMX 1151 Report post Posted June 4 All we have right now on the color is an estimate between two swatches, based on some painted track inside CSF. Wait until the track is outside, in daylight, with actual pics. 2 sikkinixx99 and Shawn Meyer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LintemuthStudios 52 Report post Posted June 4 11 minutes ago, DustinTheNow said: Let’s get those pics! I just posted your latest layout (with the blue color scheme) on Reddit, and it's actually making people change their minds about the coaster. Everyone seems to love it! Even if it's short, it'll still have the same impact on attendance as a dive coaster would, and it'll definitely have the better reception among enthusiasts. 2 Tien Shinhan and DustinTheNow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'd do station area, then lift, then start working their way from there. 3 Bwb.32, Codyfryguy and Melody reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I’m not mistaken, you probably saw MCT ST3 which is where the brake run goes from level to sloped.

AZ Kinda Guy 1299 Report post Posted June 4 6 hours ago, Gordon Bombay said: Depends on the ride model (@pkiridesmaint please correct me if I’m wrong), while most are pneumatic, I don’t think Diamondback/Banshee’s are? Or they may be pneumatic, but are configured differently than “pinch brakes” seen on rides like Beast and Racer. B&M uses pneumatic brakes or drive tires to bring trains to a complete stop. You primarily see the drive tires on areas of the coaster where it is traveling at a low speed. Such as in stations, base of lifts, and ready brakes. Pneumatic brakes in the midcourse and safety brakes. Correct on not being “pinch brakes.” The pneumatic brakes make contact with pads that are bolted in the middle section of the trains lower frame. 1 MDMC01 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
