- You have seen my video on putting rides to be, well here is the opposite.
In this video im going to go over how some of the basic rides are started up for the day.
I'll go over how to turn on and bring out a major coaster as well as a block check.
Plus I give a bonus block check the I can do single person no extras needed.
Popcorn ready!
I have a photo of a gerstlauer euro fighter coaster in the uk with a birds nest on the 1st loop thay ran it all season with the birds still there
Your content is always worth the time it takes to watch.
What is the process to start a LIM launch ride
Love your videos! Very informative! I've always wanted to work on roller coasters, but had to settle for working on cars instead.
1 hour gang 🎉
Run-up crew was the best shift ever at Magic!❤
Hey Ryan! I worked at Cedar Point many moons ago and to my knowledge, park operations still transfers all trains on in the mornings, does block checks, and then would transfer off. On Raptor we would always run three trains, no question, so block checks were easy. Mantis, the B&M stand up cannibalized train 3 for parts back in the early 2000s, so we only had two trains but with an identical block set up to Medusa. With that extra block, to block check on the lift we would have to go up to the block brake and use a legit canoe paddle to break the photo eye and confirm the train would stop at the top of the lift. First, is it common practice for park ops to do this themselves because I typically only see maintenance so it at other parks? Second, if you have a B&M with 5 blocks (lift, block, main, transfer station), and only two physical trains available, would you also trip the photo eye or was it considered okay to park a train in the block brake and then dispatch the next up the lift?
Ayo dog don’t forget to make your announcement …..before you start your list/test lol. 😂 and yes I’m a rides mechanic too . Keep up the good videos brother 🤙🏽
I would love to see a deep dive on ride lockout. Many folks may have only seen the procedure used with high voltage / gas line shutoff. The idea that the master key for the ride is not present- thus it is safe to work on the ride is what people may have in mind. Having a physical padlock for each person involved is not intuitive for many.
I like your "name any German manufacturer" game when you were talking about the hydraulic drive wave swingers. You almost got it, but it's Zierer. I don't even think that Gerstlauer or Mack ever built wave swingers, in fact the one at Mack's showcase Europa Park is a Zierer Model. (Fun Fact: This ride was actually designed by Anton Schwarzkopf's brother Franz who worked at Zierer back in the day.) There are some Zierer wave swingers that have an electric drive system for the rotation though. But it's rare.
Some newer B&M have a block test function on the panel views for ops.
Cool that you used a video of raptor at cedar point at
Always amazing!! Fantastic information to know.
Great video! I think it would be really cool if you did a video covering all the different type of brakes and how they work (with schematics). I’ve been super confused at the pinch brakes on space mountain and big thunder mountain at Disneyland, I’m not sure exactly how that mechanism works. Thanks!
I love all of your videos. Keep this amazing content coming!
I look forward to your videos. Let’s go!
Yep!! Thanks
Interesting video once again. Always fun to hear how other mechanics at other parks do their daily start-ups, but you will always hear they put safety as their number one priority. Weird to hear you have had such issues with the Tivoli model, in my experience that thing always runs cold or not. But guessing by the train length you had a Tivoli Large, while I work with a medium (might be a difference).
Another nice video keep them coming! Speaking of Zamperla did you see that beautiful train they made for TT2. I definitely thought about you as I checked out those sweet road wheels. Quite a few nice trains for this season from the major players in the US.
