Kwakujwayele ukuba yi-coaster yamapulangwe eyaziwa nje ngokuthi i-Rattler - futhi ayiyona into enhle kakhulu kulokho. Ngo-2013, ama- Six Flags Fiesta Texas aphulukisa ithrekhi yendabuko yamathuluzi, aphinde afake i-snazzy orange orange ithrekhi ye-snazzy (ngaphezulu kwalokho kamuva), futhi wenza inombolo yokuguqula kwisakhiwo (kufaka phakathi ukudonsa isikhathi eside futhi, ngokuyinhloko, i-inversion ye-barrel - ngaphezulu kwalokho kamuva). Futhi manje?
Akukona nje ukuthi ipaki ithuthukise ngokuphawulekayo i-coaster, idale ukuhamba okumangalisayo, okushelelekayo, okujabulisayo nokujabulisayo ngokwayo.

Izinyoka ezitimeleni
Phakathi kwezimfanelo zayo eziyingqayizivele, i-Six Flags Fiesta Texas yakhiwa esakhiweni sokuqothulwa kwe-limestone yangaphambili futhi igotshwe ngodonga olude lwamamitha angu-100 noma ububanzi. Njengeminye yokugibela kwepaki, i-Iron Rattler ikhona eceleni kodonga, futhi i-juxtaposition ye-handsome, isakhiwo esenziwe ngokhuni, manje ehlotshiswe ngendlela ekhanyayo ye-orange, ngokumelene nobuningi bama-limestone obunama-multi-hued bubonakala ngokumangalisayo.
Abagibeli bangena emgqeni phakathi kwemifanekiso emibili yenhloko yenyoka nomsila we-rattler bese behlangana nemoto ekhishwe yinyoka yempango ye-wrangler ngenkathi, um, idabula emgqeni.
Ukuze bafike esiteshini sokulayisha, benza indlela yabo yokunyuka izitebhisi ngezigqoko zokubopha zidwebe okufanayo u-orange hue ithrekhi njengethrekhi ye-coaster.
Izitimela, ezenziwe ngumenzi wemoto we-coaster okhonjiwe wama-coaster weGerstlauer Amalungiselelo Okungcebeleka, sebenzisa amasondo e-polyurethane (uhlobo oluvame ukusetshenziselwa ama-coasters wensimbi we-tubular bendabuko) ukuze ahambisane nomkhondo wensimbi yonke.
Ikhanda le-rattler lihlobisa ngaphambili kwesitimela ngasinye, futhi-uyitholile - umsila we-rattler uhlelwe emuva. Izihlalo, ezihlelwe kabili ngaphesheya, zikhululekile. Ibha elilodwa, eliphikisana nabaqaphi abagibeli futhi lihlanganisa abavikeli be-shin, yilo kuphela okuvimbelayo. Nakuba i-coaster ihlanganisa ukuguquka, ayinawo ama-harnesses ngaphezulu. I-knob eyodwa kubhaja ngalinye lomgibeli womgibeli, elibukeka sengathi uphondo esihlalweni, linikeza abagibeli abahamba phambili (njengami) into yokubamba.
Ngifaka uphawu lwezinhliziyo lapha IBox
Isitimela sishiya esiteshini, sijikeleza ibhande, futhi siqala ukukhuphuka phezulu kwe-hill 179-foot lift. Ngenkathi kungasheshi njengoba ikhebula le-elevator liphakamisa kulabo abakhomba ababafaka (njenge- El Toro ku-Six Flags Great Adventure ), ukuphakama kwamaketanga kwakubonakala ku-zippier kune-coaster ejwayelekile. Njengoba isitimela sisondela phezulu, nokho, ukuphakama kuhamba kancane kancane, kufakazela ukugqama okukhulu nokulindela ukuhlanya okuzokwenzeka. Abagibeli abaphakathi naphakathi kwesitimela bathola ukunyuka kwe-adrenaline okuncane njengoba isitimela siseduze nezigqoko, kodwa labo abaphambi kwesitimela bathola umphumela ogcwele njengoba bebhekene nengozi emaphethelweni egquma bese bebheke emgodini wokugodla phansi .
Lapho isitimela sigcina sikhulula, ukwehla kokuqala kuyinto ejabulisayo. Ibhange lomzila futhi lijika kancane ngakwesobunxele njengoba abagibeli behamba bacishe baqonde phansi futhi bafinyelele isivinini esikhulu se-70 mph.
Lapho iqala ukuvulwa ngo-1992, i-Rattler yasekuqaleni yawela phansi ngamamitha angu-166, okwenza ukuba kube khona ukwehla okude kunayo yonke isikhathi sokugaya izinkuni. Kodwa lapho ithola ngokushesha idumela lokugibela kwalo, ama-Flags ayisithupha anciphisa ubude bokudonsa kokuqala kuya ku-124 amamitha ukuzama nokuthuthukisa. Ngemuva kokunciphisa i-drop, i-coaster yayinomjozi ononya futhi idumela le-crummy. Abantu ngemuva kwe-Ushintsho olungcono kumele baqiniseke kakhulu ku-track ye-IBox. Akugcini nje ukuthi babuyisele ubude bokudonsa, bangeze izinyawo ezimbalwa. Le monster ekhunjulwayo-fake manje igubha ngamamitha angu-171. Futhi i-angle yayo eyi-81 degree degree of desccent yenzelwa i-humdinger eqondile yokudonsa.
Siyabonga okuhle kwe-hang-for-for post-life post kubha yecala.
Ngemuva kokunakekelwa phansi emgodini we-quarry, abagibeli bakhuphuka bese beshaya kuqala, futhi banamandla kakhulu, ngezikhathi ezimbalwa ze- airtime . (I-airtime encane kakhulu evela kuhambo lonke ingaba ngcono nakakhulu.) Nakuba ama-coasters amaningi (amaningi?) Athambekela ekuhambeni kwe-wildtime futhi egcwele umoya emoyeni wesitimela, phambili kunzima kakhulu - ngokuhle indlela. (Ephakathi nangemuva kwesitimela futhi inikeza ama-pops amahle e-airtime; awakwazi nje ukuqina.)
I-Acrobatic Grace
Kubantu abathanda ama-rollers coasters, okukhulu ngendlela enhle kuyinto enhle, kanti i-Iron Rattler ilayishwe ngezinto eziqinile, ezinhle kakhulu. Kuthatha amandla angu-179 we-pent-up energy, i-drop-up yokuqala ye-171-foot, umncintiswano wama-70 mph kuya emazulwini nokuqhuma kwawo okubi kwe-airtime, nakho konke okulandelayo okulandelayo. Akukho ukuthuthumela, akukho ukuphazamiseka, akukho ukuhlambalaza, akukho-herky-jerky, ukulimala umzimba. Ayikho into kodwa emangalisayo (uma ihamba ngendlela enhle).
Kulokho, udos kufanele yandezelwe ku-Rocky Mountain Construction, umakhi womklamo kanye nabenzikazi bezobunjiniyela ukuthi bobabili bakha ukuhamba kabusha futhi bahlakulela ithrekhi ye-IBox eyayibiza nangokuthi "i-Iron Horse" ithrekhi. Njengoba igama layo liphakamisa, ithrekhi inebude obunjengama-shadi ensimbi ngeziteshi ezidalwe yiziqongqo kanye namathanga "I" lapho amasondo aqondisa khona amathrekhi afaneleka khona. Ngenxa yomsindo we-voodoo ngemuva kokuqhutshwa komklamo we-IBox ithrekhi, lokho okwakungakaze kube yindlela ehamba phambili yokukhwabanisa manje kuyindlela ehamba phambili ehamba phambili.
Kuyinto yokwenza ngcono okuphawulekayo futhi imele ukufakwa kwesibili kwe-Rocky Mountain Construction. Iyokuqala yaqedwa ngo-2012 ukuze kuthuthukiswe i-Giant Texas enomuthi wonke ku-Giant New Giant e-hybrid ku-Six Flags Over Texas. Njengoba lo mshini wokuvuselela umshini uvuseleleka futhi, akumangazi ukuthi leli phasi lepaki lalinethemba elikhulu ku-IBox ithrekhi yensimbi yokuqalisa kabusha kabusha kwe-2013.
Kodwa i-Iron Rattler yenza omunye udadewabo omkhulu waseTexas okungcono kakhulu: Iya phezulu. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi ama-coasters we-steel tubular asekude ahlanganisa ukuguquka, kepha kungase kube kubi ngezinye izikhathi. Njengoba kunikezwe izibalo ze-IR eziseduze-ze- hypercoaster , ukushisa okunamandla kwe-barrel roll inversion kulokhu ukuhamba kwe-IBox kukhanga kakhulu. Ngemva kokudwengula i-pop yayo yokuqala yomoya emoyeni we-70 mph, i-coaster ihlala phezulu eduze kwe-quarry, ijikeleze futhi ingene emgqeni womgodi ngomusa we-acrobatic. Uma ama-inversions ama-coaster kwakuyizemidlalo yama-Olympic, abahluleli bazobamba amakhadi "10" ngemuva kwe-IR evula isici sayo esisontekile nge-aplomb.
Ukuvuselela : Ukwakhiwa Kwezintaba ze-Rocky kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuye kwaguqulwa amanye ama-coasters. Bheka ukuthi zifanani ne-Iron Ratller emgodini wami wezingubo eziphakeme ze- wood and steel coasters .
Khohlwa Ukuhlakanipha Okuvamile
Ephakama ngakwesokudla ukusuka ekungeneni, isitimela sihamba phezulu futhi sidlule phezulu kwodonga lwama-quarry. Ihambisa amabutho amandla amakhulu (kodwa, futhi, abushelelezi) asebusheleni njengamabhange wethrekhi kakhulu ngakwesokunene nangakwesobunxele. Kukhona nezinye izinkanyezi eziningana ezitholakala emagqumeni amancane. Uhambo luqala ukulahlekelwa isivinini esincane lapha, futhi ngesikhathi sokudideka okwamanje, abagibeli bangase bacabange ukuthi i-coaster isifinyelele cishe ku-nadir futhi kufanele ibuyele esiteshini maduzane.
Kodwa njengoba ibuyele emuva emaphethelweni odonga, bayakhunjuzwa ukuthi, "O, yebo. Siye saba ngaphezu komgwaqo wamamitha angu-100 ngezikhathi ezimbalwa ezedlule, futhi ... eeeeeeahhhhhh!" Ukuwa phansi kokungena ku-quarry kungalindelekile, kude, futhi kunamandla. I-geyser evumelanisiwe yamanzi ikhuphuka phansi emgodini wokugaya ukuze ibhale phansi.
Isitimela sigijimela edongeni lokugaya bese singena emgodini ugijimela ohlangothini lwayo ngenxa yezikhathi ezimbalwa zobumnyama obumnyama kanye nemiphumela ekhanyayo. Abagibeli baphindela emuva emini bese behlukumezeka ukuba baqede umshini wokumisa okwesikhashana. I-IR iphinda ibuyele esiteshini.
Wake wake wacela inyoka? Naphezu kokuhlakanipha okuvamile, izidalwa ze-scaly asinaso isikhumba esinzima futhi empeleni zibushelelezi. Khohlwa umlando odlule kaRattler kanye nokuhlakanipha okuvamile ukuthi umshini othakazelisayo wamapulangwe wezinga elikhulu kangaka kufanele unikeze ukujezisa, ukuhamba ngendlela embi. Ngene kahle ngendlela enhle? Yebo. Lungiselela ukumangazwa futhi uphonswe yilo hambo elihle ngokumangalisayo elibhebhethekile.
