Wheels on-site?

But Dave, you haven't considered the possibility of a really long extension cord. Yes, it's the worlds largest Bayern Kurve :)

Just curious, since you know...

What happens on that long flat stretch of track before the drop into the loop on sob? When they were building sob, I could have sworn they talked about using some kind of mechanism to ensure proper speed. My actual riding experience is basically limited to CP.

As far as the other stuff goes, I agree with Mr. Althoff. The kickers will move the train off the final brake block into and out of the station. I was just thinking of other places they could go, b/c there were just so many. Probably they will just move the trains from block to block.

Well since we're talking about wheels and why so many, think about the mantis and how many kicker wheels are on it. I haven't specifically counted them lately, but if so many on mantis, then it will probably be required to have many for this ride.

If your not having fun, what are you having?

Let's not forget that the transfer will also need a large amount of wheels, especially if the train count is rather high.
