Magnum (?)

Has there ever been a block brack failure on the brakes just outside the last tunnel? I was thinking how cool it would be to barrel through those final turns into the final brake run. Is that why they are banked?

I have to admit, that last prance around the station is pretty neat either way.

I personally like the brakes outside the tunnel. When you roll around the turns it feels like you're going to fall out. I usually still have my hands up after those brakes. ;)

If those brakes were to fail, they would be closed tightly. Brakes can only fail, and be wide open in RCT.

Actually the very first time they ran a train with passengers the brakes weren't working yet and the train flew around the final turn into the station and in the video of the first run you hear Dick Kinzel screaming for dear life!

I've never had those brakes completely open, but on occasion,the trains shoot through them much faster than they are supposed to. Usually happens when the trims are pulled.
