Any woodies that go right from station to lift?

... . I want to see more woodies built with the traditional tunnel run to the lift though. It helps set the tone of the ride so much better that way....

I agree - when I recently rode Wolverine Wildcat, I was surprised at how much the tunnel added to the ride -

I sure hope that nobody is losing sleep over this....

Cpunk: Why would a direct lift have to be the same block as the station? S:RoS SFNE has a brake, station, and lift and runs 2 trains. As long as the lift and station brakes are independantly controlled, it doesn't seem like a problem to me.

Screamin' Eagle at SFstl goes straight out of the station into the lift but the lift is not directly after you dispatch, you go straight about 15 feet and then go up the lift.

Not trying to break your nads, but if that is 15 feet then the train must only be about 2 feet long. ;)

There is a transfer track as well as another 75 to 100 feet of track along with a small drop out of the station.

Arkansas Twister at Magic Springs also goes out of the station and right into the lift hill.

A g-force of 1 is not an option!


It has a bit of straight track before it gets to the lift...Are we gonna go through every woodie in existance?

Perhaps he is asking if there are any woodies that have a straight run to the lift as opposed to any turns between the initial dispatch & the lift.
How about woodies that come out of the station and go right into a drop? Kennywood's Thunderbolt does. Heck even the Jack Rabbit comes out and does a turn right into a drop.
