The block zone section 😭🙏. Also good explanation. After all the other videos about lift hills. This is the most detailed. Most just talk about the chain and arb. Not much else about how its powered or other systems. One extra is that trains actually usually have the chain dog in the back. That is because its easier to push a train than to pull it up the hill. Thus reducting stress. Also on taller lift hills i believe some use an extra motor at the top to help with stress, load and length of the lift hill. I know Fury has one at the top and i believe Leviathan has one as well. Which is part of the reason the whole system is inclosed. The other part is the clean look. But its to help since pulling an almost 5,000 pound train up 325 feet is a big ask for one motor alone. Its not the same massive one that below the lift base and it cant pull it up on its own as its much smaller
@ haha just thought it’s funny. I like it as an Easter egg. Fantastic video and explanation btw. Wouldn’t expect that much detail out of a lifthill video!
Interesting that a DC motor is used. I thought they'd use an AC motor with a VSD as control? Although at high speed (frequency) there may be less torque?
Wow that was a lot more detailed than I thought it would be. Well done!
@crazybird199 thank you 😊
No kidding!
The clack clack of the ARB is the best sound at a theme park!
No it’s tied with the launch sounds,screams,and cars roaring through the track
I already knew about a good portion of this, but man this video is well-made and very detailed! Amazing!
@@Elavator66 thank you
