The train shead looks like a three train shead to me.. dual station.... Yes I have seen you post that same theory 2 or 3 times now. Not once has it been disputed that I recall.

YoungStud Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 That would allow three train operation. Firehawk takes forver to load and FOF is not dual loading. it has seperate load unload and only run 2 trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Mr. Spiegel also famously guessed that Diamondback's transfer track footings were indicative of a vertical loop, and that it would be a Dive coaster. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only roller coaster that does real good with duel loading is California Screaming because they can run 6 trains at once and not break down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight of Fear and millennium force have the same ride duration clocked in at 2mins20seconds. Im starting to think Flight of Fear only operates 2 trains.

Flight of Fear and millennium force have the same ride duration clocked in at 2mins20seconds. Im starting to think Flight of Fear only operates 2 trains. Flight of Fear started with 3 trains and a mid course break run. It loaded faster with the terribly painful over the head restraints....but was always slowed to a crawl in the breakrun in the middle of the ride. Since you exit opposite from where you board (which wasn't the original designers intention), one car would wait outside of the exit for a Loooong time before people could disembark. When they switched to lapbar and lock, it took longer to board and disembark, and they eliminated one train.... and to this day they only operate 2 trains. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
