HAs anyone felt the forwards train ever come off the track. I have. :unsure:


It feels like the train flies off the track when it hit the top of the hill or any hill. Does anyone felt this before

[Deja Vu Dude]

no, I havent felt the train fly off the track on Thunder Road. Now The Hurler, thats a different story

[hombaca_05]

I've never felt ThunderRoad come off the track, you may feel that way just cause it's a wooden-coaster, and it's very rickity & rockety.....you know?

Yea, Hurler does feel like your coming off the tracik, I LOVE the bunny-hills on Hurler...you come up so far outta ur seat.....I LOVE IT!

[Cephas]

It's called air time, that's why they install the wheel on the train that rides under the rail on the track and keeps the train from flying off. They build the bunny hills on thunder road so you get that feeling; the sacred feeling of "AIR TIME!"

[twistytie]

Yeah, Cephas is right, without those upstop wheels, the trains probably would fly off the track.

Hurler's few bunny hills are definitely wicked. They always throw me up and out of my seat!

[Trev32]

i'm 95 pounds imagine how much it threw up ME!




thank you john miller for inventing the three wheel system.




i think i know what your talking about,maybe it's just cause i'm so small that it feels like the train is coming up with me.

[CarowindsThrills]

Actually, as I climb the lifthill on TR I feel the right side of my car kinda lift up and down. It sometimes worries me, but I continually remind myself that it's just the train going up the lift and that it's normal.

Next time you ride the hurler or t-road with one train operation, check out the other train as you ride by the tranfer table. It sits on transfer track on it's up-stop wheels so maintenance can be performed on the road and side-friction wheels.

Wow, I didn't know that it came out of the track grooves themselfs (Atleast for off-day storage).

I'll be sure to check it out next time they are running one train.

[mizthang819]

I havnt ever felt that happen...but i didnt go on it much last year, because it kept breaking down. <_<

All wooden coasters do this, It adds more of a thrill don't you think.

I think so. Maybe it was all in my head. I love wooden coasters better than steel. Its so classic.
