fyrfyter 1094 Posted October 10 I don’t see it. It looks like they are currently setting pieces for the station in place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coasterguy15 114 Posted October 10 I'm guessing B&M (and their brake caliper sub if they have one) probably have an ideal velocity for the train speed when entering a brake run which they have determined after designing many coasters. The ridiculous height of Orion's (and Leviathan's) brake run is probably a function of that ideal train speed and the high cost of making a longer course for the train to lose more energy before hitting the brakes. Fury's brakes are significantly lower presumably due to the overall ride length. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t hold my breath though, Yukon Striker & Copperhead haven’t received these animated commercials sadly. I personally love them. edit - Found them - https://carbonvfx.com/ 2nd edit - They wrote an article about Mystic Timbers editing process - https://carbonvfx.com/work/vfx/cedar-fair-mystic-timbers/ 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
