purdude86 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Yea exactly as devarious said. The long brake run is mroe to do with blocking than jsut for slowing the train down. For it to ahve a three train operation with no MCBR it has to be set up to be able to have two train sitting on the brake run plus space for teh second one to slow down when it comes into it. So while it might look excessive it is for safety and capacity purposes. If they had a shorter break run they could only do a two train operation. Quote

ThatGuy11 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 YS ain't lying, I just noticed a couple days ago. That brake run IS particularly long. Banshee probably would not be the longest if it weren't for that... 1st Banshee- 4,124 ft 2nd Pyrenees- 4,048.6 ft http://rcdb.com/rhr.htm?m=2&d=5 I meant that it would be longer than Raptor Quote
SOBwasaSOB Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 If they had a shorter brake run, it might indeed be a break run. As an English major and lover of puns and play on words I am furious that you beat me to every punch. I am also wondering if I should have revealed my major since I am sure to be on here after a few adult beverages and make some mistakes...keep them coming he who interprets. 7 Quote

I think he has a program that automatically does that for him. 4 Quote

TombRaiderFTW Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I personally miss the blue carts that used to roam the park around 2008/2009. They usually had a variety of sodas, but they also had this tasty lemonade in clear plastic cups. It might have been squeezed... not sure. It didn't taste like it came from a pop machine, anyway, and it typically had a lemon slice or half in it. That stuff was good. I bet it brought in the bees like crazy, though. 3 Quote

thoe124 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Build a giant B&M wing rider stratacoaster that has multiple lifts, goes 100 mph, has 20 train operation, 2 stations, one at Cedar Point and one here at Kings Island and is like a fun light rail system! 6 Quote
