B&M coaster maintenance

I was wondering if all B&M's have little two-man rotating caged cars that the maintenance people travel along the track at about 4 feet a second? Because when i rode Wildfire last year, on the transfer track was a one of those things.

Anybody understand what i am talking about?

Yeah, only very new B&M's have that.

None of the B&M's at SFOG have it. I imagine it's an extra option when buying a ride. We just use cranes and people in harnesses. :p

Vekomember is from Holland, ishn't zaht veerd?

I'm guessing you don't even need one unless it's hard to get a crane or lift near the track. Batman at SFWoA has one, which is over water, and it doesn't surprise me that Wildfire has one with the wacky terrain.

I was under theimpression that no park owned one but they were all hired from B&M is needed. I maybe wrong but I am sure that is what I heard.

Why would you rent one? If you're doing what you're supposed to do, you inspect the track very frequently, and you can't do that without the thing.

Doesn't Raptor have one?

I have never seen one for Raptor. This sounds like a new thing, not an 8 year old thing.

Raptor doesn't need one, anyways.

I had a picture of the one on WIldfire, but I think it got lost through cyberspace :)... too bad.... It's pretty neat though.

What do you mean too bad? lol, it's not like the ride is missing out on anything. It's a maintenance mechanism for crying out loud

There were photos of these things on some of the rides at the B&M booth...remember when I saw the thing saying to Jill "so THAT'S what they were talking about". As usual, she looked at me with that *oh, buzz* look. Some of you KNOW what look I'm talking about....;)

bill, asking "what are YOU thankful for...".

So does anyone have a picture of it???

If you don't have anything nice to say don't say ANYTHING at all.

I'm pretty sure they showed it on one of the newest Discovery Channel roller coaster shows.

They have a pic of it in one the the "Roller Coaster" magazines
