this is actually quite normal and safe, not a fail. its also because of this that the train behind the station doesnt move into the station until the train that was in the station clears the top hat.
@@taderbtw this is normal. pretty much every coaster with a similar design to this (top thrill dragster, kingda ka, storm runner, etc.) experiences these types of scenarios commonly. Hence why you would see those fins on the launch track, they're brakes to slow down the train incase of a rollback, and they're always active.
@@taderbtw Lol you're talking out of your ass, Xcelerator usually rolls back a few times per morning during daily maintenance/testing, especially during this time of year when it's cold out. Insanely common and is why they installed both block sections and rollback brakes for when it does. Because it's essentially designed to do that.
This is called a “rollback” and it IS normal lmao. For launched coasters like these, If you look at the track as the train is leaving the station, you will see metal fins come up from underneath the track. These are magnetic brakes for the train to slow down and stop at the station if it rolls back like in the video.
Never been lucky enough to experience a rollback on Dragster or Storm Runner (I live in Pittsburgh, which is pretty much dead center in between Cedar Point & Hershey) although at least I saw one at Cedar Point! I honestly find launching to be my FAVORITE part of any ride that does it. Like I honestly can say that Top Thrill Dragster's launch is one of the BEST feelings I have ever felt. Like the force that pulls you.back is SO strong and exhilarating and just so unique. As a recovering addict (5 years clean now!), I could definitely compare it to the rush one gets.with methamphetamine/cocaine with all the adrenaline from the laumcj. But the.only come down you experience is coming down a roller coaster hill!!
The ride was getting shut down all day long. I'd call that a fail. It sucks to get to the front of the line and have it shut down for the rest of the day, which is exactly what happened after this.
It's a rollback. All intamin launch coasters do this from time to time. It's normal operations. The coasters are designed with a launch cable. The train sits ontop basically a huge weight scale. The computer on the ride then takes the weight of the train, calibrates how much thrust is needed to launch the train depending on how heavy the train is then executes the launch. But sometimes, the computer in the lack of a better pharse, " glitches up" and doesn't calibrate correctly. Hence you get a rollback. The train then falls back to the launch track section and the computer just restarts all over again to get it going right.
@@coastersaga I mean. Maybe. That coaster is an LIM launch system though. Different system than Accelerator. It's possible that with LIMs that sometimes not all of the LIMs fire and you may get a rollback. A good example of this would be the older Premier coasters like MR Freeze models or the Poltergeist model where they use LIM system for the launch and sometimes, often rare. The LIMs don't fire correctly and not enough power is giving so at some point on the ride you get a rollback/ stuck somewhere on the coaster.
lol not this one the only coaster you get a free launch after a rollback is dragster on kingda ka and this ride they will make everyone go in line and a few test runs will happen before it reopens again
TRUTH: This was a day where the park did this on every ride. If you weren't there, you missed the biggest rollback day in history. Walmart was the sponsor.
That would actually be really cool. For one day, (maybe the last day of the season), make it so that the ride is guaranteed to rollback every other time so you have a guaranteed roll back
This is called a rollback. It’s very fun and you get a free second ride without waiting in line again if it happens to you. Have you ever noticed that these kinds of coasters always have silver plates coming up on the launch track after a launch? Those are brakes that are there specifically for rollbacks, so yes, it’s safe. This happens when a heavy train launches, it has to go slower, because since it is heavier it has more momentum. With more momentum, friction is gonna have a harder time slowing the train down so it will go over the top hat easier, so it doesn’t need as much speed. So, heavy train launches, the computer is adjusted to this slower speed, but the next train is loaded with lighter riders. So it launches the lighter train while calibrated for the slower speed of a heavier train. Since the train is now lighter, it has less momentum, so friction slows it down easier, so the train is slowed down more and consequently doesn’t make it over the top hat. The computer will know it didn’t make it over, then launch it again but faster so it makes it over.
This is very safe. Rollbacks are very uncommon but they’re very good for the riders especially how you go over the top hat twice. Ride manufacturers keep this in mind and place magnetic brakes on the launch track to prevent any sort of collision between two trains. Then again, this is very uncommon, safe, and a very interesting topic.
not just hydraulic launch coasters, all launch coasters, even Wicked at Lagoon has rollbacks on occasion, and they have it so that you're launching up the tophat
Many have commented on how this isn’t a fail, but the video title said the ride car failed to clear the top hat, which is true. The title doesn’t imply that there was a failure in the ride system.
It's called a roll back and is normal. Basically (at least for Xcelerator's bigger siblings, KingdaKa and Top Thrill Dragster) the launch mechanism weighs the train every few launches to guess the right amount to launch so that the top hat (the hill with vertical sides) is taken at a speed where the train slowly crests it. Sometimes, it calculates wrong and under-launches. On Top Thrill and KingdaKa, enthusiasts consider this winning the lottery (because you end up getting 2 launches for 1 wait in line), and the ride computer just does the launch again with a tiny bit more oomph. The riders were never in danger due to a system (used on ALL coasters) known as a 'block system'. The track is split into 'blocks' and only 1 train is allowed in any given block. The train on the brakes isn't allowed to enter the station block until after the ride computer knows the train in the station has cleared the top hat (launch block). For those wondering, most injury stats in the US show FAR more people getting seriously hurt by folding chairs or non-powered lawn equipment (like rakes) than amusement rides (even portable ones).
Ummm actually, *pushes up glasses* it's called a rollback but you're GP so I get that you wouldn't understanding something like this. Us coaster enthusiasts really understand so much more than you are and totally aren't insufferable when we make this knowledge known at every given opportunity. I bet you GP couldn't even name a single non-US RMC!
Love a good rollback! As a rollercoaster enthusiast the first time I bought my husband I got my very first roll back!!! I literally was screaming “HOLY FUCK YESSS” in excutement the whole time!! It’s an amazing feeling and free ride it twice card💀
rollbacks are quite commonplace on those types of coasters if youre on the train its really cool because its like 2 rides in one. it usually makes it after the relaunch
Not a fail! It’s literally there if the ride doesn’t make it over the top hat, a rollback. If you look, after they launch, metal fins come up which are brakes
In the terms the title is using it, yes, it is a fail. You saying “not a fail” is implying that the train succeeded in clearing the top hat which is simply not true. While it may not have been a malfunction or a failure with the coasters technology, in this case, the train did fail to make it over.
It's not a "fail" the ride is designed with failsafes for when a rollback happens. Coaster enthusiast dream of experiencing it due to how rare it is But I'm so jealous, I highly doubt I will ever experience a rollback lol
And this proves why all the design redundancies worked as planned for cases where proper pressure wasn't delivered to the hydraulic turbine launch system. This is a nothing burger.
That “oh my god” moment made my crack up like she never thought it would happen to her ride experience. But this is a rare common issue for a rollback or mis calculated launch to occur maybe wind or something was the issue I like when the track is wet and they try to do a test run and it hydroplanes down the wet track after a rainfall session or light rain they never run it during a heavy rainfall #xcelerator
This is actually normal. It depends on the weather with wind and this is an intamin launch coaster, and they design that system incase it does roll back
Nobody panic, and don't call your lawyers. Rollbacks are normal with Rollercoasters like this especially when cold weather stifles the launch and doesn't provide enough power to lift over the hump.
Good thing is that no one was hurt! The bad thing in coasters is when it tries to do a loop and gets stuck upside down. People hang there sometimes for hours, before being rescued. Peace.
Rollback!!!!! Ahhhhh classic Intamins. I have never experienced a rollback in my life but I have seen Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure rollback back in like 2019
its called a rollback it happens when the train doesnt go fast enough to go over the top. When the train is about to launch the breaks lower but right after the train isint on the launch track anymore the breaks comeback up so if a rollback occurs the train doesnt crash into the station
It does fail to go over the top since it didn't get enough speed with the launch, but that's not an overall fail for riders. These rollercoasters are built knowing rollbacks will happen occasionally. It has all the safety mechanisms to handle it and continue operating right afterwards. A rollback is actually very sought after by rollercoaster enthusiasts since they're not necessarily common. Once it rolls back, the riders get to go again without having to get off the train, so if you really like rollercoasters, you'd be happy if this happens tbh.
@Unified yes but it's designed that way, that's why the brake fins in the station pop striaght up after launch in case it rolls back so it can stop it safely.
On rollercoasters a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy at a time. At the end of a block zone there is a method to stop the train, in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents rollercoaster trains from colliding with one another.
Lol, I love the title, it actually didn’t go over the ‘top hat’, it performed a rollback, it’s completely safe and happens for numerous reasons… a lot of people actually want to have rollbacks 👍
