Weird Schwartzkopf Shuttle...

that also sounds quite like Togo's restraints on, at least, Manhattan Express and Viper.

Janfrederick, you want noise? You should have heard the Jumbo Jet running at maximum capacity. Nowadays they'd probably would make the crew wear hearing protection.

Especially with those banked turns right next to their heads. ;)

Exactly.

The restraints are the same as those on Galaxylands Schwarzkopf triple looper. Yet more pics of Bullet & trains here!

Thanks for all the responses, guys, and Moosh, I looked at the katapult on rcdb, it's listed seperatly. Definitly weird! Oh, and OT, Like your oyster def.

Does Bullet launch out of the station, or is it pulled up the back spike and released, someone mentioned tires, how does it work? I've never ridden one of Schwartzkopf's rides yet, and this just looks incredible.

BTW, I do have a pic of the figure 8, but since it's been revealed already, if you want it, email me. Oh, and Emergency Stop, thanks, but my PC is crap, and takes along time to download, maybe when I upgrade in a few months, though, but thanks!

I rode Katapult. It scared the crap out of me at the time. I believe there was a Gravitron right near it. This is also back when the Sea Serpent, also at Wildwood, was the first boomerang in America. That ride also intimidated me.

If you have a problem with clones, the solution is real simple—Stop traveling.

The station track is really short, just enough for the train, and its tilted. Atthe front it leans to the right, ready for the helix toward the loop, and at the back it tilts to the left to go around the short corner toward the spike.

First the train moves slowly forward a few feet, then its launched backwards up the spike by a series of wheels, coupled together at intervals to drive a fin underneath the cars. When you're looking down you can see the wheels change direction, from the spike it freefalls back through the station where its given a further 'push' by the wheels, round the helix, loopp and curve back to the other side of the spike where there's more wheels to push the train up, which again reverse so the give yet more momentum for the return back. The launch wheels then turn into brakes to slow the train down as it reverses through the station, so it doesn't go quite as high up the track this time, and bring the train to a complete stop as near the platform as possible. Then its reversed back to the loading point.

Such a cool, cool ride!!
