Ngesikhathi uWalt Disney ebamba izinto ezikhangayo eDisneyland ukuzithuthukisa futhi enikeza izivakashi into entsha, wazibiza ngokuthi "ukuhlanganisa." Ngonyaka wezi-2015, iNtaba Yomhlaba Yamagagasi ayisithupha yayisondeza inqwaba ye-classic Colossus roller coaster-isikhathi esikhulu.
Ukugibela kwakuyi-coaster yezinkuni ezide kakhulu kunazo zonke zomhlaba lapho ivuliwe ngo-1978 futhi yayiyindawo ethandekayo epaki. Nokho, eminyakeni yamuva nje, sekuye kwaba nzima kakhulu futhi kwakuyi-ahem, igugu ngokudumile. Amafulegi ayisithupha ayishintshe ibe yinkimbinkimbi yensimbi yensimbi, enza izinguquko ezibalulekile ekubekeni kwayo, futhi wanikeza igama elisha: i-Colossus ephihliwe. Umphumela? Kukhona kuphela ama-coasters amancane afanele ukukala kwami okuphezulu kwezinkanyezi ezinhlanu. I-Colossus ephikisiwe manje iyabajoyina.

Kungani Izinkanyezi Ezinhlanu?
Yini eyenza ukugibela kube kuhle kangaka? Encwadini yami yokudlala, i-coaster enkulu ngempela kufanele ibe nama-pops ahloniphekile e- airtime, leyo nsizwa yokuphuma kwesihlalo sakho . I-Colossus ephihliwe idla ngaphandle kwe-airtime yangaphandle ye-airtime, abagibeli abathintekayo esibhakabhakeni nge-abandon.
Inombolo ebalulekile yokubamba iqhaza ukuze ibe yinkampani yezinkanyezi ezinhlanu: Kufanele inikeze uhambo olushelelekile kakhulu. Lona umyalelo omude wokugibela oklanyelwe ukuhamba inkambo esontekile ekuvinjeni kwe-breakneck, futhi abaningi bahluleka kabi. I-TC, noma kunjalo, iphakathi kwama-coasters ehle kakhulu engake ngathola. Yenza indlela yayo ngendlela engamamitha angu-5 000 wethrekhi futhi ihlinzeka cishe imizuzu emine yokuzijabulisa zasendle (ukuhamba kwayo okungavamile kungenye imfanelo enkulu) nge-nary a hiccup. Njengoba sinikezwe isakhiwo sayo se-wacky kanye nezakhi ze-crazy zifaka phakathi, ubumnandi obuqinile be-TC cishe buthaka ukuqonda.
I-coaster top-notch kufanele ibuye ibe nehlombe lokuqala lokuqala (labo abangazange baqaliswe futhi bahlanganise namagquma asezingeni eliphezulu). Qagela? I-TC inamaconsi amabili amakhulu. Zombili ziyanelisa ngamamitha angu-128 nge-80 degrees ezinomsoco (yizigaba eziyi-10 ezincane zokuqondisa phansi ukuze ziphikiswe ngezibalo). Kuyindlela enhle ye-hec yokukhipha uhambo. Kodwa i-TC iphonsa elinye inhlansi phakathi nenkambo yayo. Phindaphinda injabulo, kabili i-fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.
I-coaster enkulu kufanele ibe nesakhiwo esibopha ndawonye isethi esicindezelayo sezinto. Konke mayelana nokuhamba nge-pacing. Njengomculo omuhle, abakhiqizi be-coaster kudingeka babhale ukugibela kwabo ukuze ama-highs, i-lows, i-interludes, nazo zonke ezinye izikhathi zihlangane ndawonye ukuze zenze i-convergence yama-harmonic. I-TC ine-pacing ehle kakhulu.
I-Colossal Ride
Ukuhamba kancane kancane kwentaba yokuphakama kulandelwa ukudonsa kokuqala kokuklabalaza nokuguqulwa kwezinye izibhamu ezingenakwenzeka ze-airtime. Khona-ke kukhona umqulu we-zero-G othumela abagibeli baphenduka amadireji angu-360. Yebo, inguqulo entsha yobudala beColossus yamapulangwe manje ihlanganisa ukungena. Ngomkhondo walo wensimbi (kodwa hhayi nje noma iyiphi ithrekhi yensimbi - okuningi mayelana nalokhu kamuva) kanye nezitimela zayo eziguquguqukayo, i-TC iyakwazi ukuguqula abagibeli phansi - ngomusa nobuhle obuhle kulokho.
Ngemuva kobucayi besigamu sokuqala sokuhamba, i-TC ithatha i-breather ngaphambi kokugibela intaba yesibili yokuphakama. Khona-ke sonke isihogo siphinde siphinde siphumelele nge-airtime eyengeziwe ye-giddy. Cishe ingxenye engxenyeni yesibili yokugibela, isitimela singena "e-Top Gun Stall" futhi sibheke phezulu kuya emasekhondini ambalwa avela sengathi unomphela (ngendlela enhle, noma kunjalo). Emaminithi amane emva kohambo lwawo lwaqala, abagibeli abahamba kahle bayabuyela esiteshini.
Ingabe Eqinisweni Ngomjaho?
Kunesici esisodwa mayelana ne-TC enginika isikhashana futhi cishe ngigodle ukugibela ukuya ezinkanyezini ezingu-4.5. I-Colossus yangempela yayiyi-rack-track coaster coaster. Izitimela ezimbili zashiya isitimela ngesikhathi esifanayo futhi zigijimelana ngomunye nomunye kumathrekhi okuncintisana. I-TC entsha ingenye, ithrekhi ende, ende eqhubekayo. Kodwa kusadingeka ukuthi kufaka phakathi ukuhlangenwe nakho okunjenge-racing-like interactive. Ngokwe-theory, njengoba isitimela esisodwa sihamba ngendlela eya esikhwameni sesibili sokuphakama, isitimela sesibili kufanele sithunyelwe esiteshini ukuze izitimela ezimbili zikwazi ukukhuphuka emagqumeni aphakamisa eceleni. Izilawuli zekhompyutha ze-TC zenzelwe ukuvumelanisa izitimela ezimbili.
Lapho izitimela ezimbili zivumelanisiwe, isitimela esisodwa sihamba ngaphezu kwesinye. I-Top Gun Stall kufanele ifake isitimela esisodwa esilindile ngaphesheya kwezithuba ezimbalwa nokugijima ngaphesheya kwesinye isitimela sokugijima. Lokho kungaba isici esivela kwamehlo kubagibeli kuzo zombili izitimela. Kukhona umzuzu oPhakeme oMhlanu ozoguqula izitimela ezimbili zokugibela umjaho komunye nomunye ukuze abagibeli emigwaqeni ephikisanayo bakwazi ukunikela ngokukhululeka komunye nomunye.
Phakathi nokubuka kwami kokubuka kuqala, angizange ngibone noma yiziphi izitimela zokugijima. Babengakaze bavumelane. Ngokwehluleka, ukuhamba okusha kwakungakavulwa ngokusemthethweni. Kodwa kubonakala kungaba nzima ukuvumelanisa izitimela. Ukuze isebenze, abagibeli bezokugibela kufanele balayishe futhi balayishe isitimela esigcwele ngaphansi kwemizuzu emibili kuthatha isitimela sokuqala ukuqedela ingxenye yokuqala yenkambo. Lokho kubonakala kungenakwenzeka.
I-ops ye-ride ingafaka isitimela esiphakathi kwezemfundo endaweni yokubamba ngaphambi kokuba isilinganise i-hill hill yesibili kuze kube yilapho enye isitimela ibamba khona. Mhlawumbe isisombululo esingcono (uma kungenzeka) sizoba izitimela ngaphesheya kwesiteshi sokulayisha. Ngaleyo ndlela, isitimela singase silayishe futhi silayishe ngenkathi isitimela esingaphandle kwesiteshi singasendaweni sokuthunyelwa futhi sifike isikhathi sokuhlangabezana nesitimela semaphakathi. Uma isebenza ngokugcwele, i-TC izoba nezitimela ezine ezitholakalayo. Nanka ukuthi leli paki lizokwazi ukuthola indlela yokwenza umsebenzi wokugijima usebenze.
Uma engakwazi ukuthola izitimela zokugijima, ingabe lokho kwanele kokwahlukana kwezinkanyezi ezinhlanu? Mhlawumbe, kodwa ngisho nangaphandle kwesici se-racing, i-TC namanje ihamba ngokumangalisayo.
Uhlu Lokuhlola Izinkanyezi Ezinhlanu
Ake sibukeze. Ukuhamba okumnandi? Hlola. Ukuhlelwa okukhulu nokuhamba phambili? Hlola. Okumangalisayo kokuqala kwehla? Hlola (bese uhlola futhi). I-Airtime? Isheke esikhulu. Lokhu kungase kube ngokwanele ukubeka i-TC ekwakheni eliphezulu lama coasters.
Kodwa iqiniso lokuthi i-next-gen version ye-classic ride yakha isimo sayo. Ngendlela, iColossus yasekuqaleni yayithola ibheji yayo yakudala ngokuvela embukisweni wokuqala we- National Lampoon's Vacation . Ungafunda mayelana nendima yayo yokubheka inkinobho yami, " Yenzani Ukusebenza NeWalley World? "
Amafulegi ayisithupha alondoloze i-Colossus ebhokisini eliphazamisayo, futhi ahlonipha i-coot endala ngokuyinika u-Ushintsho olungcono kakhulu. Abalandeli besikhathi eside bayothokozeka ukuthola ukuthi i-DNA yokuhamba yokuqala ikhona, futhi inhliziyo nomphefumulo wabo bahlale bengacacile. Kodwa unikezwe ukuqasha okusha empilweni ngezinye izingxenye zomzimba ezishayekile, ezintsha kanye nomqondo omusha wokuqina.
Amapaki okukhangisa aseyisikhathi eside abe umxube wokuzikhethela we-old and new. Kukhona ama-carousels antique nezinye ukugibela okudala ukuthi izizukulwane zabalandeli ziyakuthanda ukubuyela emuva. Amapaki akhathaza lo mqondo, kodwa, ngokunikeza ubuchwepheshe obamuva, obukhulu kakhulu kanye nemigomo yokuhamba emisha. I-Colossus ephikisiwe ihlanganisa i-dichotomy engavamile ekukhangeni okukodwa. Kuyinto eyintandokazi endala eyenza u-nostalgia, kodwa ugcwele izimangaliso, izici ezintsha ezikhuthaza injabulo. Kuyinto impumelelo enkulu kakhulu ye-coaster.
