Iinqwelo eziNtsha zidibanisa iiNdidi eziPhambili zeeNtlobo zeeCosta
Kwaphela iminyaka, ii-coaster roller zazingaphezulu. Uninzi lwazo lubonisa izakhiwo zokhuni, ezicwangcisiweyo kwi-lattice kunye nebala elimhlophe. Iingoma zabo zazivame ukuba zenziwe ngamatye enziwe ngamatye anqabileyo kwaye anqabileyo apho izitishi ezifakwe ngevili zensimbi zaziza kuhamba.
Ngo-1959, nangona kunjalo, iDisneyland Park, ngokubambisana nomvelisi wokukhwela iArrow Dynamics, yazisa iMaterhorn Bobsleds, i-coaster yokuqala ye-steel tubular coaster.
Ngokusebenzisa isakhiwo sensimbi, umzila wensimbi we-tubular, kunye neetreni ezinamavili e-polyurethane, iMathorhorn yatshintsha i-shishini. Njengoko ezinye i-coasters zensimbi zavela, abagadi beepaki bakwazi ukufumana iintlobo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zabaqashi: ukhuni kunye nensimbi.
Ngo-2011, iiPlagiza ezithandathu ngaphaya kwe-Texas kunye ne-Rocky Mountain Construction zakhupha i- New Texas Giant . Kwakhona, ipaki kunye nomkhenkethi wokukhwela ahlaziye i-shishini ngokudala uhlobo lwesithathu lomatshini othandekayo: i-hybrid wood and coaster coaster. Kodwa yintoni na oku kuzaliswa ngokutsha?
Impendulo emfutshane kukuba ukukhwela okufana ne-New Texas Giant ukutshata umkhondo wensimbi kwisakhiwo sokhuni. Kuninzi kunoko, nangona kunjalo.
Okokuqala, inxalenye yembali: ii-coasters ze-hybrid, ngesinye isimo okanye enye, sele zihlala zihlala ixesha elide. Abantu badla ngokumangaliswa xa befumanisa ukuba amanye ama-coasters asebekhulile, afana ne- Cyclone ye -1927 eConey Island , enomzila wezityalo eziqhelekileyo kodwa usebenzisa isakhiwo sensimbi.
Isakhiwo se-cyclone se-white circle structure siyakubonakala ngathi senziwe ngamaplanga, kodwa senziwa ngentsimbi. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba, iziphatha ngendlela efana nayo kwaye ngokuqhelekileyo ibonwa njengesiqhamo somthi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kukho ii-coasters ezifana neGemini eCedar Point edibanisa umkhondo wecimbi we-tubular kunye nesakhiwo sokhuni. Ngenxa yendlela yalo yensimbi, iGemini isisiseko sensimbi.
Ngokwenene, iGemini kunye neCony Island i-Cyclone ingaqwalaselwa njengama-hybridi. (Kungenokuba kulungile ukuba ubhale i-ride efana nokubuyisela iMammy kwi-Universal Studios , ebonisa izinto zombini kunye nokuhamba emnyama , njenge-cobrid coaster.) Kodwa, ngenxa yale nqaku, machaze i-hybrid i-coaster yensimbi enomgangatho ochazwe kakuhle wezinto ezilandelelanayo kwiNew Texas Texas enkulu. Ininzi, imayelana nomzila.
Akunjalo nje nayiphi na iTrans Track
NgokukaFred Grubb, umnini we-Rocky Mountain Construction, ukuqhutyelwa kwe-coaster coaster kwakungenxa yokufuna ukuba ngumama wokuveliswa kunokuba isicwangciso esikhulu. Iipaki, kuquka ezinye kwietyhuthi ze-Six Flags, wayebize inkampani yakhe ukuba azame ukulungisa nokuphelisa ukuguga, ama-coasters amatshini angamaqhinga ngokuphinda alandele kwakhona. Njengomsebenzi oqeshwe ngumasipala ozalisa izibonda emva kobusika obunzima, ukulungiswa kuya kusebenza okwethutyana, kodwa i-coasters yayiya kubuyela kwiindlela zazo ezigqithisileyo. I-Grubb kunye neqela lakhe bacinga ukuba kukho indlela engcono.
Isisombululo sabo: Phakamisa umkhondo wenkcubeko wemveli uze uyitshintshe ngensimbi. Kodwa kungekhona nje umkhondo. Esikhundleni somkhondo wecimbi we-tubular, abantu baseRoyy bahlakulela i-IBox "yecandelo lomculo wecala elibizwa ngokuba yi-IBox" ebizwa ngokuba yi "Iron Horse".
Njengoko igama layo lithetha, umkhondo omtsha ufana neleta "I." Iivili ezikhokelayo zengxowankulu, ezifumaneka kwicala leendibano zevili, zilungelelanisa kwiziteshi ezidalwe ziintonga kunye neebhokhwe ze "I." Njengentsimbi yensimbi, izitimela kwi-Rocky Mountain ye-ribbon hybrid usetyenziso lweevili zamahashe. Iivili ezisemagqabini zihamba ngaphaya kwendawo ephezulu ye-IBox.
Ukuhlanganiswa kwezinto (ngokukodwa i-IBox track) ivelisa ngokugqithiseleyo ukukhwela okugqithiseleyo okukhumbuza iinqwelo eziphezulu ze-iron, kodwa i-coasters ye-hybrid zigcina ngenye indlela i-identity box coaster. Iimoto ezinjengeenkcukacha ngokubanzi zifana nezofumaneka kwiibhokisi ezinkuni kuneensimbi.
I-track ye-IBox ivumela ukukhwela kwe-hybrid ukufanisa i-coasters yensimbi ngenye indlela ebalulekileyo: Iquka ukungena.
Kuyinto engummangaliso ukuba amava adibanayo ukukhwela umquba weenkuni kwaye ufumane umqulu wombhobho okanye enye into e-topsy-turvy. Ngaphezu koko, ukungenwa kwempahla, njengawo onke amanqabileyo e-cobrid coaster, ahamba ngokukhawuleza.
Ngokwenza ukuqhutyelwa kwendlela yokuguqula kwiindawo zokuguga zeemithi, i-Rocky Mountain iye yaguqula ngokugqithiseleyo ukusuka kwiindawo ezigubungelayo ezinqabileyo eziya kwiindawo eziphambili. Inkampani ibambelela isiseko esisiseko sokukhwela kwangaphambili kwaye isebenzise ubuninzi bezakhiwo zabo zokhuni. Phantse yonke imikhosi endala ibe yinto ebalulekileyo kunye neentandokazi. Kwaye iipaki kunye nabalandeli bayamemeza ukuba inkampani iyenze ivoodoo eyenza kakuhle kuyo nayiphi na inxalenye yamanye amadala, ama-woodies ambi.

Impindiselo Yensimbi eCedar Point
HLAZIWE
Ngendlela, i-Rocky Mountain iye yaphayona enye intsha yokuqulunqwa kwemithi: i-"Topper" ithrekhi. Njengomqholi wemveli wokhuni, isebenzisa isakhiwo sokhuni kunye nomzila owenziwe ngamatye enkuni anensimbi. Esikhundleni sendima encomekileyo yensimbi, nangona kunjalo, i-Topper ithrekhi yimbi kakhulu kwaye ibanzi kunye nensimbi ehlanganisa yonke into ephakamileyo yentsimbi. Izitimela zalo zisebenzisa i-polyurethane wheels instead of wheels wheels. Njengengxande ye-hybrid esebenzisa i-IBox tracking, i-coasters ene-Topper-equipped equippeders are able to inversions. (Kunye ne-IBox ekhweleyo, ayingxowankulu.) Umzekelo wee-coasters eziphezulu ezihamba phambili ziquka iGoliyati kwiMathandathu yePlagiya ye-Greater America kunye ne- Lightning Rod e-Dollywood .
Ngenxa yale nqaku, makhe siqwalasele ukukhwela kweentaba zeRoyy ezisebenzisa i-Topper ithrekhi ukuba zibe ngama-coasters enkuni kwaye kungabi yi-hybrids. (Nangona ndiqonda ukuba i-Topper ithrekhi kunye namavili e-polyurethane ayaphambukela kwi-coaster yemithi.)
Kwada kweli nqanaba, zonke ii-Topper coasters ziye zikhwela amatsha ukuba iNtaba ye-Rocky yakheke emhlabeni. Yaye yonke i-hybrid ye-IBox coasters iye yahlaziywa nge-coasters ye-wood ekhoyo-nangona kungekho sizathu sokuba isizathu sokuba i-Rocky Mountain ayikwazanga ukwakha i-brand cobrid coaster kunye ne-IBox track.
