The way SOB TOM explained the worse case scenario I really wanna be on DT if it didn't drop, nor be released, and then have to go up the catch car and down the elevator...I think that would be fun!
Side note, I am not just saying this cause you confirmed it but I was going to say maybe the thingy that takes DT's "car" up to the top is what they ride up and down on (is that the catch card). Then I thought that it would be to risky to ride up and down on that thing....
