I-21st Century Schizoid Coaster
E-Frontiertown yaseCedar Point, i-Maverick i-schizophrenic kancane. Isiteshi sokulayisha esibheke ngokufanelekayo, esasigcinwa kusukela e-White Water Landing esivame ukuhlala kuyo, kubonakala sengathi kungasetshenziswa umshini oshiyekile. I-rockwork nokuhlelwa kwezilwane, kanye nomculo wesitayela sase-Old West odlala kuwo wonke umgca, nakho kufana nendawo. Kodwa ithrekhi yomsakazo kagesi yomshini, isistimu yokwethulwa kwe-magnetic entsha, kanye ne-acrobatics yezinsuku zanamuhla (ukungasho ukuthi isamba sika-$ 21-million samanani entengo) ingenza inhliziyo yezintambo zezintambo isuke ishaya.
Ubuntu be-ride ka-schizoid bufane negama layo. Ngesikhathi i-"Maverick" ingase ikhumbule i-Western Occidental ye-TV eyabonisa uJacob Garner, uBryan Edwards waseCedar Point uthi ipaki yakhetha igama elikhulu ukuze liphakamise incazelo yalo yokungavumelani. "Ngemuva kokuthi wonke ama-coasters ethu aqoshiwe, sifuna ukuphazamisa ukulindela noMaverick," usho kanje.
"Esikhundleni sokukhuphuka phezulu, ngenhloso yokuletha lesi sihlava emhlabeni kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi akukwazi ukujabulisa kakhulu."
Ngaphandle kwe-Down Down
Izitimela zikaMaverick azivamile. I-Purportedly eyenzelwe ukufana nezimoto zenkathi yesikhuni, izimoto ezihlanjululweyo zinezinhlangothi eziphansi ezishiya abagibeli. Imoto ngayinye inezinhlu ezimbili futhi ihlezi abagibeli abane, futhi isitimela ngasinye sinemoto emithathu kuphela. Ama-harnesses angaphezu kwamaphethelo agcina abagibeli bevikelekile, kodwa banikeze ama-daredevils anenkululeko eyanele yokuphakamisa izandla zabo.
Ukubikezela ukuphakama kwezintambo zendabuko, ama-motors angama-synchronous ajwayelekile axosha isitimela esiteshini futhi afike eqabeni elingu-105. Akuyona isivinini se-breakneck (esilandela kamuva), kodwa si-peppy ngokwanele ukuthola abagibeli be-adrenaline abasheshayo. Ukudonsa kokuqala kuyisimo se-doozy. Nakuba kuyizinyawo eziyi-100 kuphela, i-novel 95-degree angle igcina izinto ziphila. Ingeniswe ngaphakathi, ukwehla kungama-degrees angu-5 ngaphezu kokuqondile; njengoba imoto yokugcina idlula phezulu, idlula kancane phambi kwemoto yokuqala yokugibela phansi phansi.
Isitimela siyasondela, sinike abagibeli umbono we-Lake Erie, futhi sikhuphuka intaba yesibili ehambisa imizuzwana embalwa ye-airtime. Okulandelayo kuyinqulu ephothiwe yamahhashi othumela izitimela zihamba ngendlela eyodwa, enye enye.
Izilwane zasendle, ezishintsha kakhulu ezitokisini zithola isitimela kanye nabagibeli bayo, kodwa i-coaster ebusayo ayifuni neze.
Ingabe i-Maverick izokwenza ube yi-Giddy? I-Yup.
Esikhathini esingaphakathi, isitimela sikaMaverick sisondela ngesivinini esiphezulu ngaphansi kwesiteshi sokulayisha futhi siza endaweni eshaqisayo-kodwa kuphela okwesikhashana. Ehambisana nomsindo we-TNT ukuxosha, i-kabooms ngaphandle komhubhe. Lokhu kungase kungabi yi-coaster-breaking coaster, kodwa ukuqaliswa kwe-70-mph yesibili akuyona impela isivinini se-Pony Express.
U-Maverick wenza i-swoop enomusa phezu kolwandle futhi ulandelwa amanye amakhemikhali amanzi. Inyoka phakathi kweminye "amawa" futhi ibuyele eminye imisebenzi ebonakalayo iyinkimbinkimbi njengoba ivela ezindaweni eziphakeme kakhulu. I-coaster ithola ibheji "yezwe" layo ngokuchitha isikhathi esiningi kakhulu ihlanganisa umhlaba.
Ngemuva kweminye eminye ebhange kakhulu, kodwa ehamba phambili, ijika, uMaverick ubuyela esiteshini nge-posse yabagibeli bekhwele.
