Ukuhlaziywa kwe-Record-Breaking Roller Coaster
Kwaphela iminyaka engama-125 okanye ngaphezulu, ii-coasters zokhuni zemihlathi zazihlala zingaphezulu. Ngomnyaka we-2008, umakhi we-Rocky Mountain Construction wanyakazela i-shishini xa ithe yavelisa i-new design, innovative track designs. Inkampani ikhiqiza i-coasters ebomvu ngokugqithiseleyo enokukwazi ukuguqulwa kunye nezinye iimpawu eziye zancinci kwiinkampani ze-iron coasters.
I-Goliath kwi-Six Flags I-America yaseMelika iyona-coaster yesibili i-RMC eyakhele ukusuka emhlabeni kwaye isebenzisa "i-Topper Track" yayo.
- Uhlobo lwe-coaster: I-wood modified with inversions
- Ukuphakama: 165 iinyawo
- Ukuhla kweyokuqala: iinyawo ezili-180
- Isantya esiphezulu: 72 mph
I-Goliath ingomnye wezona zi- 10 ezinqabileyo zokuqhawula ngamaplanga . - Ubungakanani obukhulu bee angle: 85 degrees
- Ubude: 3,100 iinyawo
- Umlinganiselo wokuphakama okufutshane: ama-intshi ama-48
- Ride umakhi: UkuKwa kweeNtaba zaseRoyy
Unzima ukuPhakamisa oku
Ngesakhiwo sokhuni esinobumba kunye nombane wamanzi (enye yemibala yesiginitsha ye-RMC), uGoliyati uyimbonakalo emangalisayo kunye nomhle. Umzila uyisihluthulelo kwimpumelelo kaGoliath.
Amacwecwe enziwe ngamatye aneempahla ezinobunqamlezo obunobumba obunqabileyo obunqabileyo obunqabileyo obunqabileyo. Amasondo aqhuba izitimela, ezenziwe zintsimbi, ziqhutywe kunye neengcingo zetsimbi. I-Goliath, nangona kunjalo, iquka ibhokisi yensimbi enobumba kwaye ibanzi ekhusele ngokugqithiseleyo phezulu kweentonga zayo zokhuni (ngoko igama elithi "Topper Track").
I-RMC i-patented patent ivumela i-Goliath izitimela zendlela zokuhamba ngomthi ukuba zihlale zihamba kakuhle, nangona zihamba ngeendlela eziphambili ezibandakanya izixhobo ezingaphambukiyo (ezenza izitimela kunye nabagibeli bayo bahlasele).
Esikhundleni samasondo esinyithi, izitimela zokuhamba zisebenzisa iivili zepolyurthane, into efanayo nayo esetyenziselwa kwi-coasters yentsimbi.
Iiflegi ezithandathu zathintela uhambo njengoko ihlabathi likhawuleza kakhulu, elide kakhulu, nelona liphezulu xa liqala ngo-2014. Indonga yomlambo eDollywood, enye i-RMC Topper coaster , ehlahlela i-73 mph, yabe isithatha isiqhamo esheshayo seGoliyati.
Ukutshintshwa kwiHlabathi lokuThuthukisa i-ZDT kuhlasele i-Flags Six Six kwiqela elincinci ngokuphonsa ama-87 degrees. Kodwa uGoliyati uqhubeka ebamba irekhodi njengesiqithithi eside kakhulu sokhuni.
Emva kokukhuphuka kweenyawo ezili-165 kunye nokuphonsa iinyawo ezingama-180 kuma-degrees angama-85 (phantse i-vertical) kwi-tunnel engaphantsi komhlaba, i-coaster iphinda iphinde ibe ngama-72 mph. INyana yezilwanyana ezihlambulukileyo kunye neNtshonalanga kwiNkcubeko yaseKumkani ngaphambili yayibambe iirekhodi kunye neenqwelo ezikhawulezileyo (218 inyawo kunye ne-78 mph, ngokulandelanayo) kwi-coaster coaster. Kodwa kwakukuhamba ngokukrakra nokubuhlungu. I-Goliath, nangona kunjalo, isebenza ngokukhawuleza kwayo, ukuwa kwexesha elide kunye nejubane eliphezulu kunye ne-finesse.
INyana yezilwanyana yayifake enye ingqungquthela, kodwa yafezekisa yayo ngokuguqula inxalenye engapheliyo yomzila ukuya kwintsimbi ye-tubular. I-Topper yokulandelwa kweenkuni kwi-Great America ithwele iyafana nayo yonke inversions yayo.
UGrace phantsi (G-Force) Uxinzelelo
Nangona uGoliyati aneempawu eziphazamisayo, ayifaki ukuxhomekeka kwe-shoulder-shoulder. Esikhundleni salo, inkqubo yayo yokuzibamba igcina abahamba ngeenxa zonke ezinqeni nasezantsi ngaphantsi kwamadolo. Imfuneko yokuphakama kwayo ephantsi kwee-intshi ezingama-48-eziyi-4 iienyawo okanye ubuncinane bobudala obuneminyaka engama-9 ubudala-kwakhona inika isikhashana. Le ngqungquthela ye-hec ekwenkqonkqisayo kwintsimi ephakathi.
Nangona kungabikho kokuthintela ngaphezulu, iifaki kufuneka ziziva zikhuselekile ngokuphepha kulo lonke uhambo. Nangona kunjalo, inversion yesibini, ebizwa ngokuba yi-zero-G, ingaba yintlanzi. Ukuxhoma ngaphantsi kwezinto ezibonakala ngathi ngonaphakade (kodwa ngokwenene nje kuphela okwesibini okanye ezimbini) zibini zivuyisayo kwaye ziyikrakra, ngakumbi ingabikho kwi-harness-shoulder-shoulder. Ukuguqulwa kwempembelelo ngokukhawuleza kulungile ukubukela ukusuka emkhatsini.
UGoliyati uxoxisana ngeendlela zakhe ezimbini. Uhambo oluphela luhamba ngokukhawuleza luninzi olusisigxina kunye ne-tumble shuckder ukuba ininzi i-coasters ikhupha (njenge-Greater's Viper kunye ne-Eagle yaseMelika. Sekunjalo uvakalelwa njenge-coaster coaster. Ingaba i-RMC ihamba ngokukhawuleza kwiminyaka, okanye iza kuncibilikiswa kwimiba efana neyantlukwano echaphazelekayo?
Kunzima ukusho ukususela ekubeni inkqubo yomkhondo isengumtsha, kodwa mhlawumbi iya kubamba kakuhle.
Ngama-hiccups ambalwa apha nakwekho, uGoliyati akayona nje ibhotela-egqibeleleyo njengenye ikhampani ye-RMC, i- Iron Rattler kwi-Six Flags Fiesta Texas . (Njengoko uhambo lusebenzisa i-box yonke ye-"IBox" kwaye libhekwa njenge- cobrid yokhuni kunye nensimbi yentsimbi , ukuthelekisa akunakulungeleka.) Kwimizuzu engama-3,100 kunye nexesha lokukhwela ngaphantsi kwemizuzu emibili, lifutshane . Nangona ikhulula ama-pops amahle e-airtime , ukukhwela kungasebenzisa ixesha elingaphezulu kwexesha lakho.
Kodwa ngokubanzi, uya kuvuya gqitha nguGoliyati. Ngokuqinisekileyo i-coaster engcono kwi-Six Flags Great America . Kulula kakhulu i-Goliath ihamba phambili apho. (Iiflegi ezithandathu zihamba ngeendlela eziqhelekileyo eziqhelekileyo kuyo yonke ikhethi yayo yokupaka kuquka i- Goliath ngokukrakra kwiNtaba yeMilingo yeMicrosoft .) Kulungile, yenza uludwe lweziko njengenye yezona ndawo ziphezulu ze-Woods Coasters- nangona kunjalo kuba yingxabano nokuba i-RMC ye-Topper ithrekhi ayifanelekanga njengento yokukhupha. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba kukuphi na ukukhwela, kukukhwela kakhulu.
