The Beast and Night, They go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly
As far as I know on Two face @ SFA there are no brakes being used on the first pass through the station.
When the train is launched from the top of the first lift it's still connected to the lift chain and the whole chain freewheels down with it until it releases in the station,there is however a small parking brake that is used for loading/unloading.

I believe that if they can't get them down automatically....the mechanics go up there and physically release the carts. Its not like the breaks are going to fail on the ride because they are only magnets.
But i may be wrong considering what happened to Acrophobia last week, but who knows.

You are the passengers on a most uncommon elevator, about to ascend into your very own episode of the Twilight Zone
Theres an elevator on the inside of the tower, I'm pretty sure thats what it is anyways, we'll have to ask shaggy, figured he woulda been in here by now.

I've always wondered how they would get riders down if there was just no way they could not get it released in a reasonable amout of time. That would be one heck of an adventure.

But this hole im talking about almost looks like something flew into the side of the box, except it is a perfect rectangle hole. I'm goin again on the 13th so I will check. It almost looked like they painted black part of one side more than the checkered black and white is supposed to be. But I think its a hole. Maybe they are replacing the wall of the box up there
Hmmmm I don't know maybe your seeing things.
