Ukulinganisa nge-About.com: FIVE STARS (kwiihlanu)
Xa uWalt Disney ekhupha izinto ezikhangayo kwiDisneyland ukuziphucula nokunika iindwendwe into entsha, wayibiza ngokuthi "ukuhlanganisa." Ngo-2015, iNtaba yaseMagagasi ayisithandathu i-Magic Flags yongeza i-Colossus ye-classic roller coaster.
Ukukhwela kwakukho ihlabathi elide kunazo zonke kwaye likhawuleza xa livulwa ngowe-1978 kwaye yayilungiselelwe intando epaki. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, nangona kunjalo, bekuye kwagqithisa kakhulu kwaye kwakuyi-ahem, igugu ngegama layo. Iiflegi ezithandathu zaguqula zibe yintsimbi ye-iron-shabby cobrid, eyenziwe utshintsho olukhulu kwi-layout yayo, kwaye yanika igama elitsha: I-Colossus ephosakeleyo. Isiphumo? Kukho iindawo ezimbalwa zee-coasters ezifanele ukulinganiswa kwam phezulu kweenkwenkwezi ezintlanu. I-Colossus ephosakeleyo ngoku idibene nabo.

Kutheni Iinqwenkwezi Ezihlanu?
Yintoni eyenza uhambo lube lufanelekile? Kwincwadi yam yokudlala, i-coaster enkulu ifanele ibe nama-pops ahloniphekileyo e- airtime, eso sivulo esivela ngaphandle kwesihlalo sakho . I-Colossus ephosakeleyo igxobhoza i-timetime engapheliyo yomoya, abagibeli abathintekayo baphakamise phezulu.
Imfuneko yesibini inombolo yokwenza i-coaster ukuba yenze iklabhu yeenkwenkwezi ezintlanu: Kufuneka unike uhambo olugqithiseleyo. Leyo myalelo omde wokukhwela ekwenzelwe ukuhamba ngekhondo eliphosakeleyo kwixesha lokuphuza, kwaye abaninzi banokuphelelwa kabuhlungu. I-TC, nangona kunjalo, iphakathi kwee-coaster eziqhekezayo endingazifumanayo. Iyenza indlela yayo malunga ne-5,000 iinyawo zomzila kwaye ikhulule imizuzu engama-4 yomdlalo wokuzonwabisa (ukuhamba kwayo ngokuqhelekileyo enye enye into ebalulekileyo) kunye ne-nary a hiccup. Ukunikezelwa kwendawo yayo ye-wacky kunye nezinto eziphambeneyo, zibandakanya, i-TC ye-rock-solid stability isenokungabi ncamango.
I-coaster-cock coaster ifanele ibe nomgangatho wokuqala wehla (ezo ezingasetyenziswanga kwaye zibandakanya iinduli zokuphakama zendabuko). Qikelela ukuba? I-TC inamaconsi amakhulu amakhulu. Zomibini ziyanelisa iinyawo ezili-128 kwi-degrees ezingama-80 (ezi-10 degrees ezimfutshane zokunqamla ukuya kumgangatho weemathematika). Yindlela ye-hec ebomvu yokukhaba ukuhamba. Kodwa i-TC iphosa enye intsalela phakathi kwekhosi yayo. Phinda ujabule, kabini i-fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.
I-coaster enkulu ifanele ibe nomda odibanisa kunye neqoqo lezinto. Konke malunga nokuhamba. Njengomculo omncinane, abaqulunqi bekontrakthi kufuneka baqulunqe ukukhwela kwabo ukwenzela ukuba iindawo eziphakamileyo, i-lows, i-interludes, kunye nazo zonke ezinye izihlandlo zidibene ndawonye ukuze zenze i-convergence yama-harmonic. I-TC ihamba kakuhle.
I-Colossal Ride
Ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza kwenyuka intaba yokuphakanyiswa kulandelwa ukukrazula kokuqala kunye nokuguquka kwiindawo ezithile ezingenakwenzekayo zomoya. Emva koko kukho umqulu we-zero-G othumela abagibeli abajikelezayo ama-360 degrees. Ewe, inguqu entsha yobudala beColossus yokhuni ngoku iquka ukungena. Ngomzila walo wensimbi (kodwa kungekhona nje nayiphi na imithwalo yensimbi - ngaphezulu malunga naloo mva) kunye nezitimela zayo eziguquguqukayo, i-TC iyakwazi ukuguqula abagibeli phantsi-ngobabalo kunye nokugqithisela kwimiba.
Emva kobuqhetseba besahlulo sokuqala sokukhwela, i-TC ithatha i-breather ngaphambi kokuba inyuke inqwelana yesibini. Emva koko isihogo siphinde siphinde sikhuphe ngexesha elithile lomoya. Phantse kwisiqingatha se sibini sokukhwela, isitimela singena kwi "Top Gun Stall" kwaye sibheke ngaphantsi kwimizuzwana embalwa ebonakala ingunaphakade (ngendlela efanelekileyo, nangona kunjalo). Imizuzu emine emva kokuba uhambo lwabo luqale, abagibeli baxhamliweyo babuyele kwisikhululo.
Ngaba Ngaba Kuya
Kukho uphawu olulodwa malunga neTC endimisa ixesha kwaye ndiphantse ndikhwelise ukuhamba ukuya kwi-4 stars. I-Colossus yasekuqaleni yayiyi-coaster coach coaster. Izitimela ezimbini zashiya isitishi ngexesha elifanayo kwaye zigijimelane ngaphaya kweendlela ezikhuphisanayo. I-TC entsha yinye, ixesha elide, eliqhubekayo. Kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba kufaka phakathi amava anxulumene nokugijima. Kwinqaba, njengoko isitimela esinye senza indlela eya kwintaba yesibini yokuphakamisa, isitimela sesibini sifanele sithunyelwe sisiteshini ukuze izitimela ezimbini zikhuphe iintaba eziphakamileyo ngeenxa zonke. Iikhomputha zekhompyutha zeTC zenzelwe ukuvumelanisa izitishi ezimbini.
Xa izitimela ezimbini zivumelanisa, enye inqwelwana yokuhamba ngomnye. I-Top Gun Stall kufuneka ifake enye isitimela ixhomekeke ngaphaya kwexesha elide kunye nokugijima ngaphaya kwesinye isitimela sokuqhubela phambili. Leyo yayiza kuba yinto yokubonakala kwamehlo kubagibeli kwezo zombini izitimela. Kukho umzuzu oPhakamileyo oMhlanu omele ujikelele izitimela ezimbini zokugibela umkhosi omnye komnye ukuze abagibeli bezitimela ezichaseneyo banokuphelela ukuphakama.
Ngexesha lokukhwela kwimboniso yam, ndingazange ndibone naziphi izitimela zokugijima. Babengazange bavumelane. Ngobulungisa, ukukhwela okutsha kwakungakavulwa ngokusemthethweni. Kodwa kubonakala kunzima ukuvumelanisa izitimela. Ukuze kusebenze, abaqhubi beendlela zokukhwela baya kukhulula kwaye balayishe uqeqesho olupheleleyo ngaphantsi kwemizuzu emibini kuthatha isitimela sokuqala ukugqiba isiqingatha sokuqala sekhosi. Okubonakala ngathi akunakwenzeka.
I-ops yokukhwela ingafaka isitima se-middle-course kwisimo sokubamba ngaphambi kokuba sikalile intaba yekhondlo yesibini de ukuya kwelinye igumbi. Mhlawumbi isisombululo esiphezulu (ukuba sinofezekayo) siya kubamba izitimela ngaphaya kwesi sikhululo sokulayisha. Ngaloo ndlela, isitimela sinokukhulula kwaye silayishe ngelixa isitimela esingaphandle kwesi sikhululo singasetyenziselwa ukuba sithunyelwe kwaye sifikelelwe ukuhlangabezana nokuqeqeshwa kwekhosi. Xa isebenza ngokupheleleyo, i-TC iya kuba neetreni ezine. Nanku kuthemba ukuba ipaki iya kukwazi ukubona indlela yokwenza umsebenzi wokugijima.
Ukuba ayinakufumana ukuqeqesha izitimela, ngaba oko kwaneleyo kwintlanzi yeenkampani ezinamahlanu? Mhlawumbi, kodwa nangaphandle kwimiba yokugijima, i-TC iseyihambo elumangalisayo.

Kodwa inyaniso yokuba yindlela elandelayo-gen ye-classic ride cements yayo.

Kodwa kunikwe indawo entsha yokuqeshisa ebomini kunye namanye amacandelo omzimba omtsha kunye nengqiqo yokuvuselela ubungqina.
Iipaki zokuzonwabisa ziye zakuba ngumxube wobudala obunokuqala kunye nolutsha. Kukho ii-carousels ze-antique kunye nezinye izikhwele ezide zenza ukuba izizukulwana zabafundi zithande ukubuyela kwakhona. Iipaki zithukuthela, nangona kunjalo, ngokunikela nge-teknoloji yakutshanje, i-teknoloji enkulu kunye neendlela ezintsha zokuhamba. I-Colossus ephosakeleyo iqukethe i-dichotomy engathandabuzekiyo. Kuyinto endala eyintandokazi evuselela i-nostalgia, kodwa izaliswe ngamangalisa, izinto ezintsha ezikhuthaza uvuyo. Yiyona mpumelelo enkulu kakhulu.
