Kwakusetyenziselwa ukuba ngumthi wokhuni owaziwa nje ngokuba yiRattler - kwaye akuyona into enhle kakhulu kuloo nto. Ngo-2013, ii-Flags ezi-6 ze-Fiesta zaseTexas zakhupha umkhondo wemizi yendabuko, zatshintsha i-snazzy orange (I-Box box track) ngaphezulu (kwaye ngaphezulu), kwaye yenza inani lokuguqulwa kwisakhiwo (kubandakanywa ukuhla kwexesha elide kwaye, i-inversion ye-barrel-more more later). Kwaye ngoku?
Akukona nje ukuba ipaki iphucule ngokukhawuleza i-coaster, iye yakha uhambo olumnandi, oluhle kakhulu, oluhle kakhulu nolonwabo kwaye lukholisayo.

Izinyoka kwiTeyesi
Phakathi kweempawu zayo eziyingqayizivele, ii-Six Flags Fiesta Texas zakhiwe kwisiza se-quarryone yangaphambili kwaye ijikelezwe ngodonga olude lwama-quarry. Njengomnye uphahla lwepaki, i-Iron Rattler ihlala ecaleni kwodonga, kwaye i-juxtaposition ye-handsome, isakhiwo esakhiwe ngokucokisekileyo, esilungele i-orange color track, ngokubhekiselele kwimibala yamatye e-limestone enamafutha amaninzi.
Abagibeli bafaka umgca phakathi kweemifanekiso ezimbini zeentloko zeenyoka kunye nomsila we-rattler kwaye badibana nesithuthi esine-snake wrangler ngeempahla ngeli xesha, um, u-snaking ngokusebenzisa umgca.
Ukufikelela kwisikhululo sokulayisha, benza indlela yabo yokunyuka izitebhisi kunye nokuthungatha umzobo we-orange hue efanayo njengomzila wekontra.
Izitimela, ezenziwe ngumbonakali weenqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo zomhlaba zeGerstlauer Iimpapasho zokuzonwabisa, sebenzisa iivili ze-polyurethane (uhlobo oluqhelekileyo elisetyenziselwa iinqwelisi zentsimbi ye-tubular) ukulungiselela ukulandelelana kweseyili.
Intloko ye-rattler ihlobisa phambili kwesoliwe nganye, kwaye-uyifumene-umsila we-rattler ifakwe kumqolo. Izihlalo, ezilungiselelwe ezimbini, zikhululekile. Ibha yodwa, ehlala echasene neenqwelo zabathengi kwaye iquka abakhuseli be-shin, yinto yokuthintela kuphela. Nangona i-coaster iquka ukuguquka, ayinayo iinqununu ezingaphezulu. Iqhosha elilodwa kwibhagi ngalinye lomgibeli, eliphantse libukeka ngathi uphondo kwisikhwama, linika abagibeli be-wimpy (njengaye) into yokubamba.
Ndifake uphawu lwentliziyo apha] IBox
Isitimela sishiya isitishi, sijikeleza i-bend, kwaye siqala ukunyuka kwinqaba ephakamileyo yeenyawo ezili-179. Ngethuba kungekhona nje ngokukhawuleza njengoko ikhebula le-elevator liphakamisa kulabo baqhankqalazi abazibandakanyayo (njengo- El Toro kwiSix Flags Great Adventure ), ukuphakanyiswa kwekhenkethi kwakubonakala kungumsippier kunokuba i-coaster ephezulu. Njengoko isitimela sisondela phezulu, nangona kunjalo, ukuphakama kuhamba ngokukhawuleza ukuya kwintlanzi, kwandisa ukugqithisa okukhulu kunye nokwandisa ukulindela kobudlova obuya kufikelela. Abagibeli phakathi kunye nomva wesitimela bafumana ukunyuka kwe-adrenaline emfutshane njengoko isitimela sondela malunga nezicathulo, kodwa abo basecaleni kweloliwe bafumana umphumo opheleleyo njengoko baxakeke ngokugqithiseleyo emaphethelweni enduli kwaye bajonge kwisitya se-quarry ngaphantsi ngaphantsi .
Xa isitima ekugqibeleni siyikhulula, ukuwa kweyokuqala kuyonwabile. Iibhanki zomzila kwaye zijikeleze ngokukhawuleza ukuya kwesobunxele njengoko abagibeli behamba bajikeleza ngokukhawuleza baze bafike kwijubane eliphezulu lama-70 mph.
Xa iqala ukuvulwa ngo-1992, iRattler yasekuqaleni yawa phantsi kweenyawo ezili-166, ezenza ukuba kubekho ukude kweyona nto ende kunazo zonke. Kodwa xa ngokukhawuleza yafumana idumela ngokukhwela kwayo ngokugqithiseleyo, iiflegi ezithandathu zanciphisa ubude bokuqala kokuya kwi-124 iinyawo ukuzama ukuphucula. Emva kokuqhayisa i-drop, i-coaster yayinomlingo obizayo kunye nodumo lwe-crummy. Abantu abasemva kwe-makeover kufuneka babe nethemba kwi-IBox. Abazange babuyisele kuphela ubude behla, bangeze iinyawo ezimbalwa. Le ngqungquthela-i-monster ekhutshwe ngoku iyancipha imitha ezili-171. Yaye i-angle-degree ye-81-degree of descente yenzelwa umxhasi okhuselekileyo we-drop.
Ndiyabulela ukulunga ngokubambelela kwi-post-life post kwi-bar bar.
Emva kokunyamekela kumgangatho wecare, abagibeli baqhakambisa baze baxabise okokuqala, kwaye banamandla kunabo bonke, bexesha elithile lomoya . (Ixesha elithile le-airtime lokuhamba ngokubanzi liza kuba ngcono nakakhulu.) Nangona abaninzi (abaninzi?) Abaqhankqalazi bavame ukuhambisa uhambo oluthile olusendle kunye ne-air in the back of the train, phambili phambili kakhulu indlela. (Umgangatho kunye nomva wesitimela uphinde unikezele ama-pops amahle e-airtime; awanjalo nje.)
Grace Acrobatic
Kubantu abathanda ama-coaster roller, ngamandla kakhulu ngendlela enhle yinto entle, kwaye i-Iron Rattler ilayishiwe ngezinto ezintle, ezilungileyo kakhulu. Kuthatha i-179 iinyawo zamandla okuphambana, i-171-foot foot drop, i-70-mph uhambo ukuya emazulwini kunye nexesha elibi lokungena kwomoya, kunye nayo yonke into elandelayo. Akukho ntoyikisayo, akukho shimmying, ayiyikratshi, ayikho i-herky-jerky, iyayibhuqa umzimba. Akukho nto ngaphandle kokumangalisa (ukuba unamandla kakhulu ngendlela).
Kuloo, kudos kufuneka inwetshelwe kwi-Rocky Mountain Construction, i-manufacturer yokukhwela kunye neenjineli zobunjineli ezakha zombini ukukhwela kwakhona kwaye zenze i-IBox ithrekhi yensimbi ebizwa ngokuba yi "Iron Horse". Njengoko igama layo libonisa, umzila uqule ubude bemi benzi bensimbi kunye neziteshi ezidalwe iinqonga kunye neebhokhwe ze "I" apho iivili ezikhokelayo zihamba kakuhle. Ndiyabulela kwivoodoo emva kokupakisha koyilo lwe-IBox track, into eyayiyindoda yokukhwela ngokugqithiseleyo ngoku ihamba ngokukhawuleza.
Kuyinto ephawulekayo yokubuyisela kwaye ibonisa ukufakwa kwesibini kweeNtaba zeRoyy. Iyokuqala yagqitywa ngo-2012 ukuphucula i-Giant Texas yonke enokuthi i-New hybrid Giant kwi-Six Flags ngaphezu kwe-Texas. Ekubeni loo mishini evuyisayo iye yafumana ukuhlaziywa kweengcungcutheko, akumangalisi ukuba ityethi yepaki yayithembele kwi-IBox ithrekhi yensimbi ye-2013 coaster.
Kodwa i-Iron Rattler yenza udade wayo omkhulu waseTexas ulunge ngakumbi: Uya phezulu. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ii-coasters zetsimbi zangexesha elide zibandakanya ukungena, kodwa ziyakuthi zibuhlungu ngezinye iinkhathi. Ukunikezelwa kwezibalo ze-IR kufuphi ne- hypercoaster , ukunyanzeliswa kwe-barrel roll inversion kule ndlela yokuqhubela i-IBox iyona ephawulekayo ngakumbi. Emva kokudwengula kwi-poptime yokuqala ye-air kwi-70 mph, i-coaster ihlala isondele phezulu kwecyri, ijikeleze ngeenxa zonke ize ingene emgqeni womnxeba kunye no-grace acrobatic. Ukuba i-inversions yama-coaster yayimidlalo ye-Olimpiki, abagwebi bonke baya kubamba amakhadi "a-10" emva kokuba i-IR ingabonakali isici sayo esonteleyo nge-aplomb.
Ukuhlaziywa : I-Rocky Mountain Construction isuke iguqulwe ezinye ii-coasters. Jonga ukuba uthelekisa njani kwi-Iron Ratller kwinqwelo yam enqabileyo ye- wood and coasters .
Ulibale ukuBulumko
Ukuphakama ngakwesokudla ukusuka ekungeneni, ukuqhubela umzila wee-train kunye nokugqwesa phezulu kwodonga lwekota. Idibanisa ezinye izinto ezinamandla (kodwa, kwakhona, ezibushelelekileyo) ezinjenge-latal g-force njengeebhanki zengoma ngokukhawuleza ukuya ngasekunene nakwesobunxele. Kukho nezinye ii-airtime ezigqithiseleyo ezinqabileyo zeenduli ezincinci. Uhambo luqala ukulahlekelwa ngantyawu apha, kwaye ekudidekeni kweso sikhe, abagibeli banokucinga ukuba i-coaster ifikile ekufikelele kwi-nadir kwaye kufuneka ibuyele kwisikhululo kungekudala.
Kodwa njengoko kuqhubela phambili ngaphaya komda wodonga, bakhunjuzwa, "Hayi, hayi. Siye ngaphaya kwe-cliff yeenyawo ezili-100 kwixesha elidlulileyo, kwaye ... eeeeeeahhhhhh!" Ukuhla kweyokugqibela kwi-quarry kungalindelekanga, ixesha elide, kwaye linamandla. I-geyser echanekileyo yamanzi ekhuphuka kumgangatho wecareyta ukugqithisa ukuhla.
Umzila wee-racing ukuya eludongeni lwekotya kunye nomgca ogqithiseleyo kwicala lawo ngenxa yezinto eziphazamisayo zithuba zobumnyama kunye neziphumo ezikhanyayo. Abagibeli baya kubuya emini kwaye bakhawuleze bangene kwi-brake ephazamisayo eyenza ngokukhawuleza isenzo. IR ke ibuyele kwisitishi.
Ngaba uke wabuya inyoka? Naphezu kobulumko obuqhelekileyo, izidalwa ezinamaqabunga azinaso isikhumba esiqhekezayo kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo zihamba kakuhle. Ulibale umlando weRattler kunye nodolo oluqhelekileyo lokuba umatshini othakazelisayo wamaplanga onobukhulu obukhulu kufuneka anike isijeziso. Unomdla ngendlela efanelekileyo? Kuqiniseke. Lungiselela ukumangaliswa kwaye uphuthunyiswe yi-ride hybride.
