December 2, 201410 yr comment_198502 Colossus' crunches at it comes off the ARBS has to be one of the most iconic mechanical sounds I've heard.
December 5, 201410 yr comment_198594 ^ The anti-rollback system! If I'm not mistaken it's the little thing at the bottom of the car rolling over the teeth on the lift hill track (beside the chain)? I'm not a mechanic so I'm probably wrong...
December 6, 201410 yr comment_198600 Nope, I believe you're right! I tried to highlight that early making antiRollback system into ARBS, clearly not caught on, lol. But yeah I think it's when the train builds up a little speed going up the lift hill and the bouncer under the carriage that locks into the ARBS teeth speeds up it's ricochet, or it's the chain and the chain lock under the carriage being 'torn', if you will, from eachother..
January 25, 201510 yr comment_201504 For me, nothing beats the sound of SAW roaring into the loop! I'm also including THE SWARM's, if you're stood by Depth Charge or Flying Fish as it goes down the drop. Also, just stand near the far end of Stealth's launch section. You get a lovely "WHOOSH!" sound down there!
