The only shuttle i've built that has crashed from brake failure is an arrow. I dont put that little incline at the end of the shuttle like in the blackpool senario. I put a series of 4 mph brakes on that end so the train doesnt make it all the way level then falls back through the loop and is pulled back into the station. i think those 4mph brakes failed causing my crash

I am conducting an experiment now where i have removed a piece of track behind the station before the incline of my white lightnin replica and letting it run nonstop If the train does suffer brake failure I will get a crash notice

I've only seen it once, on a complete circut shuttle coaster. It was based on a figure 8 loop Schwarzkopf designed, but never built. It barely made it up there to begin with, and when it broke down, the launch must have been weaker, because it rolled back intead of getting through the loop on top. Once it got back to the station, it launched again.

Hey, SFGAm management, can I buy a couple cages of Sky Whirl?
