Fact: People complained that Volcano's final drop is wasted and are doing the same with HS!

My point is I hate extreme braking as this is a pain in the neck, literally. Also in extreme cases, the brakes will make me nauseous! Weird, as never feel that on ANYWHERE else on a coaster!!!
Funny story, read it! I drank a yellow Gatorade before riding the Demon (Vekoma Boomerang) 3 times in a row. On the final ride, the train was empty and practically stopped on a 10 cent coin (Dime to you yanks! Just kidding). Oh my stomach! Got off feeling really queasy & held it in as didn't want ride-ops to see. As I walked down the exit path, my mouth started to water uncontrollably. Around the corner, out came GREEN Gatorade!!!!!
2) Why don't they brake the train slowly when it's near empty??
Fact: The downwards vertical track is short as S&S probably want to reduce the pull-out Gs. It's just about the only explanation. There is the original prototype you know. Ah ah, so HS is not a prototype, well is one to the public - public schmuplic!! There might be more vert track on bigger versions.
3) Anyone know how fast the train will be travelling at the top of the hill? On the animation at the above site it slows to a near stop in order to reduce dangerous negative Gs. There are booster wheels with one-way bearings to stop the train rolling back. You wouldn't want to fly out of your seat would you?? This is why designers have a hard time with 90 degree drops.
