^Can you or someone else who reads your post explain this for myself or others who aren't familiar with these terms? For example, what area is "pull up", what is "catch car"? Thanks.

There's a writeup on the Dragster launch hardware and process here, though Dave uses the term "pusher" in place of "catch car". In any case, the catch car is what temporarily attaches to the train to launch it down the track. Once disengaged from the moving train, that catch car needs to be slowed and stopped, which is what Jeff is referring to.

Track shake. Zamperla twerk. a.k.a. the Zwerk. We'll get plenty of Zwerk coming down off that spike.


Sit tight fellas ;)

Thanks for the explanation Brandon.

Ohhhhhhh! Never mind, my 24 year old just showed me some Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Ciara.

Doesn't deserve its own thread, but here's a detailed look at renders of the three trains that I don't think we've seen before.

Reminds me of the start from a video game. Players pick your trains!

And didn't notice the little spoiler in the back of the trains until now.


Promoter of fog.

The trains look good! Still no seatbelts in the renderings, holding out hope.
