befat Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 3 hours ago, AZ Kinda Guy said: 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. 3 hours ago, Gordon Bombay said: Thank you, @AZ Kinda Guy. Any insight on generators and power redundancies? Diamondback is the only coaster at KI with a backup generator. It’s only to restart the lift in the case of a power outage. There’s also a system on the mid course brake run to manually release the train back to the safety brakes. It then needs to be evacuated from there. I don’t know if this comes standard on B&M mega coasters. As you know, all coasters will come to an automatic stop in the next block in the case of a power outage. Only on the arrow coasters, the trains need to be chalked eventually since the air pressure will bleed off after several hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Because they want to keep it? I’ve heard a story told that there was some gorgeous big old tree they sort of built Beast around. All through construction it was kind of in the way, but they worked around it because they wanted to keep it. Towards the very end, it ended being accidentally damaged and had to be removed. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtlepower Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What if they're going to pull the tree out of the ground, roots and all, and the crater left behind will be enough to put the lift hill height right at 300'? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Beast was built around this tree and it’s still there! I think it’s become sort of a tradition. See also the 2 trees around Mystic Timbers drop. I’ve never heard the part about that tree actually being damaged and removed during Beast’s construction. Edit, you can actually see this same tree in @sixohdieselrage‘s image. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyrfyter Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Sorry to nitpick but I'm curious, do you mean just one PLC, or a series of them that perform different tasks? I’ve never seen any complex machine run on one singular PLC. It usually requires a few of them. It’s all based upon the I/O functions, area covered and how the logic is laid out. I’m just speaking in general terms, since most don’t really understand a PLC and how it functions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5IsAlive Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Not sure what's lefts to decode... What colour and what's the name going to be? (tiny potatoes) I like Dark Blue and Black for color like I saw in a YouTube video. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5IsAlive Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Making a coaster 200 something feet tall and most likely marketing it as a "Giga" This saves money on the front of construction, but do you think it will cost them in the back end? Or does this just imply they plan to go higher sooner rather than later? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone seems to love it! Even if it's short, it'll still have the same impact on attendance as a dive coaster would, and it'll definitely have the better reception among enthusiasts.

Magenta Lizard Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This is something that probably would have come up earlier if not for the trademarks recently registered by Cedar Fair... but we have no proof those are planned to be used for this coaster. Am I the only one who finds it interesting that the same year the new coaster is being built, The Beast footprints make their reappearance, and the finale song changes to one called Footprints? I propose Sasquatch as a potential name for the new Giga. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
