Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Roller Coaster ye-Record-Breaking
Kwaphela iminyaka engama-125 noma ngaphezulu, ama-coasters e-wooden roller ahlala ngaphezulu noma angaphansi okufanayo. Ngo-2008, umkhiqizi wokugibela iRoyy Mountain Construction waduduza imboni ngenkathi eveza amashayimu amasha, ezintsha. Inkampani ikhiqiza ama-coasters asemakhakheni afanelekayo angakwazi ukuguqulwa nezinye izici ngaphambilini ezilinganiselwe kuma-coasters ensimbi.
I-Goliath Emathandathu Ayisithupha I-America Ekhulu I-Amsterdam i-coaster yesibili i-RMC eyakhele kusukela emhlabathini futhi isebenzisa "i-Topper Track" yayo eyingqayizivele. Futhi kuyamangalisa.
- Uhlobo lwe-coaster: Ukhuni olushintshiwe olwenziwe nge-inversions

I-Goliath ingenye yama- coasters ama-roller-roller aphakeme kakhulu kunawo wonke . - I-angle enkulu yokuma: ama-85 degrees
- Ubude: 3,500 amamitha
- Imfuneko yokuphakama okuncane: ama-intshi angu-48

Kunzima Kokuphezulu Kuleli Ride
Ngesakhiwo sokhuni semibala esenziwe ngamapulangwe kanye nomzila wamagesi-orange (enye yemibala ye-signature ye-RMC), i-Goliath iyimbono emangalisayo futhi enhle phakathi nendawo. Ithrekhi iyisihluthulelo sempumelelo kaGoliath.
Ama-coasters ezinkuni ezinamapulangwe anezinsimbi zensimbi ezincane ezithwala izinkuni ezakha amathrekhi alo. Amasondo ogijimela amathrekhi, ayenziwe ngensimbi, aqhubekele emaphethini ensimbi. I-Goliath, noma kunjalo, ifaka ibhokisi lensimbi elinyene nelanga elibanzi elimboza ngokuphelele izitshalo zalo zokhuni (ngakho igama elithi "Topper Track").
Ithrekhi ye-RMC enegunya lobunikazi ivumela izitimela zesitayela se-Goliath zokhuni ukuze zihlale zingabonakali kahle, ngisho noma zihamba ngesakhiwo esilandelayo esifaka hlangana nezinto eziphikisiwe (ezenza izitimela nabagibeli bayo baphenduke phansi).
Esikhundleni samasondo ensimbi, izitimela zokugibela zisebenzisa amasondo e-polyurethane, okufanayo okusetshenziselwa ama-coasters ensimbi.
Amafulegi ayisithupha aphephe ukuhamba njengendlela yokushayela esheshayo kunazo zonke, ephakeme kunazo zonke, futhi ephakeme kakhulu ngokhuni lapho kuqala ngo-2014. I- Lightning Rod eDollywood, enye i-RMC Topper coaster , eshaya 73 mph, yabe isithatha isihloko esheshayo esivela kuGoliath.
Ukuguqula e-Amusement Park yeZDT kubeka i-Six Flags ukuhamba ngesigaba esiphezulu ngokushiya ama-87 degrees. Kodwa uGoliath usalokhu ebamba irekhodi njenge-coaster ephakeme kakhulu yamapulangwe.
Ngemva kokukhuphuka ngamamitha angu-165 futhi ephonsa ngamamitha angu-85 ngama-85 degrees (cishe acishe) emgodini ongaphansi komhlaba, i-coaster ibuyele ku-72 mph. INdodana yeSilwane esonakele kakhulu futhi manje engasetshenzisiwe e-Kings Island ngaphambilini yayiphethe amarekhodi okuphakama namajubane (ama-218 kuya kwangu-78 mph, ngokulandelana) ukuze kube ne-coaster yamapulangwe. Kodwa kwakuhamba ukuhamba okunzima futhi okudabukisayo. I-Goliath, noma kunjalo, ilawula ukudonsa kwayo okukhulu, ukudonsa eside kanye nejubane elikhulu nge-finesse.
I-Son of Beast yayihlanganisa ne-loop eyodwa, kodwa yafeza i-feat yayo ngokuguqula ingxenye ephikisiwe yethrekhi eya ensimbi ye-tubular. I-track Topper yamapulangwe e-Great America ride iyafana nayo yonke inversions yayo emibili.
Ubumnandi ngaphansi kwe-G-Force
Ngisho noma uGoliath anezikhathi eziphuthumayo, akubandakanyi ukuvinjelwa okungaphezu kwehlombe. Esikhundleni salokho, isimiso sayo sokuvimbela abagibeli sigcina abagibeli esihlalweni esingaphansi kwesigqoko futhi ngaphansi kwamadolo. Ukuphakama kwayo okuphansi kwamasentimitha angu-48-lokho okungamamitha amane noma ubukhulu bomuntu oneminyaka engu-9 ubudala-nakho kunikeza isikhashana. Lokhu kuyisimo esisodwa se-hec ebusweni obujabulisayo besixuku esiphezulu.
Naphezu kokuntuleka kokuvimbela ngokweqile, abagibeli kufanele bazizwe bevikelekile ngokuphepha kulo lonke lohambo. Noma kunjalo, ukuguqulwa kwesibili, okuthiwa i-zero-G stall, kungaba ikakhulukazi okumnandi. Ukulindela phansi ngenxa yalokho okubonakala sengathi kungunaphakade (kodwa empeleni kungowesibili noma amabili) kokubili kuyamangaza futhi kuyesabisa, ikakhulukazi ngaphandle kwe-harness ngaphezulu. Ukuguqulwa okuhamba kancane kulungile ukubuka kusukela phakathi.
UGoliyati ukhuluma ngokuhleleka kwakhe kokubili. Wonke uhambo luhamba kahle kakhulu ngaphandle kokuncintisana okunamahloni nokuqhaqhazela ukuthi ama-coasters amaningi ahlinzeka (njenge-Great America's Viper kanye ne-Rough American Eagle). Noma kunjalo uzizwa njengomcengezi wokhuni. Ingabe i-RMC ihamba kahle iminyaka yobudala, noma ingabe izotholakala ezinkingeni ezifanayo zokuhlukumeza ezihlupha kakhulu ama-coasters ezinkuni?
Kunzima ukukusho kusukela uhlelo lwethrekhi lusanda lube olusha, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi luzoqhubeka kahle.
Ngama-hiccups ambalwa laphaya, uGoliath akayona nje ibhotela-ebushelelezi njengenye i-RMC coaster, i- Iron Rattler ku-Six Flags Fiesta Texas . (Njengoba lolo hambo lisebenzisa ithrekhi yonke ye-"IBox" futhi kubhekwa njengensiza ye- hybrid ne-steel coaster , ukuqhathaniswa kungase kungabi kuhle.) Uma ubude obungamamitha angu-3 100 nesikhathi sokugibela ngaphansi kwemizuzu emibili, bubuye bufushane . Ngenkathi ihambisa ama- pops amahle we-airtime , ukugibela kungasebenzisa isikhathi esingaphandle kokuhlala kwakho.
Kodwa ngokugcwele, uzomangala kakhulu uGoliyati. Ngokusobala yiyona ndlela engcono kakhulu ku-Six Flags Great America . Kuyinto engcono kakhulu engcono kakhulu yeGoliyati ngaphandle lapho. (Amaflegi ayisithupha anezimboni eziningi eziqanjwe ngokufanayo kulo lonke uhlangothi lwawo lwepaki kufaka phakathi i- Goliath enzima kakhulu eSitokisini SaseMicrosoft Magic .) Kuhle kakhulu, kwenza uhlu lwendawo lube njengenye yezinhlamvu eziphezulu eziphezulu eziphezulu zokhuni- ngisho noma kungenzeka kube nokuphikisana noma ngabe ithrekhi ephezulu ye-RMC iyayifaka yini njenge-coaster yamapulangwe. Noma ngabe yikuphi okukuyo, kuhamba kahle.
