CoasterMegRN 142 Posted June 4 Right? I'm eagerly awaiting these pics! I've even contemplated going myself but it's an hour and a half drive for me. For now I'll just continue to recheck this thread every two minutes 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fryoj 4176 Posted June 4 16 hours ago, collin.klopfstein said: It looked like the top part of the ejector speed hill like in the most recent renderings, I’m not that much of a professional but I’m pretty sure it was giga track That part of the track wouldn't be built yet. They'd do station area, then lift, then start working their way from there. 3 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. Does this look right, Collin? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ Kinda Guy 1302 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also curious about the topography around Diamondback. I remember when it was built, people spoke of a natural ravine nearby that could have made for an awesome terrain coaster. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
