I-Glorious Vintage Ride
Ukukhipha isiteshi esiteshini seConey Island esitimeleni saseNew York City, isibonakaliso sibonakala: i-lattice emhlophe, ukuthuka okubomvu okwesibhakabhaka, i-"CYCLONE" izinhlamvu ezivimbezele phezulu kwe-hill lift. Izizukulwane zabagibeli ziye zazingena emafasiteleni ezitimela futhi zabelana nomzwelo we-giddy wokufika eConey Island kanye nokulindela kwenjabulo nokwesaba ukuthi umbono we-roller coaster usebenza.
Abagibeli baqhubekela phezulu eSourf Avenue ngaphansi kwesibonakaliso se-neon esiphezulu se-Cyclone. Ngemuva kokukhokha i-cashier egumbini elidala le-cage ukuze ithikithi, abagibeli bezinyoka ngaphansi komzila kanye nesakhiwo kuze kube yilapho kulayishwa khona. Uhambo alukaze lubuyekezwe nge-system ye-brake, futhi iSiphepho singenye yezinhlamvu ezimbalwa zama-classic ezisasebenzisa amabhuleki.
Kuyi-hoot yokubuka abagibeli abahamba kancane bese beyeka izitimela ngokudonsa ezithwalweni ezinkulu zokuhamba ngebhayisikili.
Hey, ake sihambe!
Isimo esiteshini yi-sooo eBrooklyn-esque. Esikhundleni sejubane elifanako elingafanako elitholakala emapaki wetimu, ama-crew's crew members agqoka ama-rags, ama-baseball, ama-Yankees, ama-tank phezulu, nanyana yini enye ebezizwa efana nokuphosa ngalolo suku. Baxosha abagibeli abaphumayo ngaphandle kwezitimela ekugcineni komunye wesiteshi, baphonsa izimoto njengoba beya endaweni yokulayisha, bese bebeka abagibeli ngezandla zomzimba kanye nemiyalo yokudoba ukuthi "Hamba! Woza, woza! asambe!" Kumele kube yiqembu elihamba kahle kakhulu nelomdlandla lokugijima ebhizinisini. Kunjengokuthi bayakhokhwa inani lezitimela abazoligcwalisa ngehora.
Njengoba cishe cishe konke okunye mayelana neCivilone, ukuklama izitimela zendabuko ezingu-24 kuye kwahlala kungashintshi amashumi eminyaka. Izihlalo ezisezingeni eliphansi azinawo ama-headrests, futhi ukuphela kokuvimbela ukuphepha kuyibha yekhasika elilodwa. Izihlalo zamabhentshi abantu ababili azinawo abahlukanisi, ngakho-ke izihlalo zokuhlala zizodinga ukuthandana ngempela . Izisekelo zokuhlala, i-chassis, kanye nezinhlangothi zezimoto zichazwe ukuze zikwazi ukuhamba ngokuzimela futhi zamukele ukuhamba kwendle.
Uma usuliwe ukuze uhambe, i-brakeman ihlehlisela isibambo, futhi isitimela siphuma esiteshini ukuze sihlanganyele ukuphakanyiswa kwamaketanga. Ukugijima kudlulele esimangalisayo "Isixwayiso sokugcina: Akukho ukuma!" ubhalise futhi uphakamise u-85-foot hill kuze kube umsindo ovusa amadlingozi, abagibeli bangabona ukuhamba okungaqondakali kwemoto ekhonjisiwe njengoba kuhamba ngethrekhi. Ebhekene nolwandle kanye nolwandle olwedlula, umbono ovela phezulu kwegquma uyamangalisa.
I-Cyclone iyinhlangano ethi "Ehle" Enyanyayo
Khona-ke sonke isihogo siphumelele. Ezingxenyeni ezingaba ngu-60, ukwehla kokuqala kuhamba kancane. Umngane usechaze ngokufanele leli donsi njengelingana nokugibela phansi esiteji esingamamitha angu-85 futhi ukushaya yonke imigwaqo endleleni. Ukuphenduka kwe-180-degree phansi kwegquma kuyathumela isitimela ukugibela intaba yesibili nokuletha ukuqala kokuqala kwe -airtime .
Leli phepha libuye lithumele abagibeli ngakolunye uhlangothi lwesitimela sokugwedla-futhi ngisho ukuxolisa - kubabo abathintekayo. Kunezinhlobo ezingu-180-degree eziphendukayo kuzo zonke, ngakho-ke kunezinhlobo eziningi ze-G-force force kanye namathuba abagibeli abaye bahlukana.
I-Cyclone ihlanganisa amaconsi angu-12 nemithwalo ye-airtime euphoric. Kukhona futhi ama-crossovers angu-18. Ngokungafani ne-out-back-coaster ehamba nge-loop eyodwa, i-Cyclone ikwazi ukulingana no-2640 izinyawo zethrekhi ibe yi-compact footprint ngokuziphendulela ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwayo. Umshini wokuthakazelisa unamandla kakhulu futhi uyingqayizivele, wonke ama-coasters aguquguqukayo ayaziwa ngokuthi "ama-cyclone" ama-coasters ngokuhlonishwa kwawo.
Uhambo luyahlukahluka ngokwesihlalo sobukhosi nezinye izinto ezifana nesikhathi sosuku nesimo sezulu. Izihlalo zangasemuva, ikakhulukazi, zingangena ngokungahambi kahle, nakuba ngake nginekhanda elibheke phambili elingelona le-squeamish. Isakhiwo sibubula futhi sizamazama, abagibeli baxoshwa ngokushiya, futhi izitimela zingakwazi ukuzulazula izulu ngokuzenzekelayo ukuze zigijimise amasondo aphakanyiselweyo. Kodwa-ke, sonke isijeziso sazo, iSiphepho siyisisekelo sokuthakazelisa nokuzijabulisa. Ihlala njalo yenza ukubala okulingana nokuhleka nokukhala.
Kukhona "ama-coasters" amabi "amabi" (njenge-hidey Manhattan Express , noma ngabe yiyiphi i-Las Vegas 'New York, eNew York Casino ebiza ukuhamba kwayo ngalezi zinsuku) kanye nama-coasters "amahle" ahlaselayo. Isikhukhula siwela esigabeni esilandelayo.

Njengoba iSiphepho sibuyela emuva esiteshini ekupheleni kohambo, abagibeli bayagxuma ezinhlangothini zesitimela kanye ne-hawk baphinde bagibele ngenani elincishisiwe. Uma ufuna ukugoqa isihlalo sangaphambili (ukuphakanyiswa kakhulu), ukhokhe ukugijima kabusha bese uzama ukuyibeka ngokushesha emotweni yangaphambili. Bese-ke, lungela enye i-Slamfest emnandi ye-Cyclone.
