@amusementinsider: Here’s How, fun actuators and sensors. So no accidents occur, and like all parts of a roller coaster: sensors and many backups—the primary backup mechanism is the actuated end stop, which is positioned at the end of the track. Drive tires then align the train into position; these drive tires not only move the train forward but also serve as friction brakes to slow it down. At this point, a claw mechanism at the rear of the vehicle latches on and supports the train’s weight. Once secured, the friction wheels retract, allowing the train fall freely under gravity. The see-saw track aligns with the vertical 90-degree drop. This section of track is beveled to ensure the wheels roll over smoothly, with precise alignment secured by locking pins. When the actuated end stop confirms it has retracted, the claw mechanism disengages, allowing for a smooth, low-stress release of the train. #rollercoaster #cedarpoint #themepark #rides #travel #amusementpark Videoanimations by Cedar Point
