    The superconducting puck keeping its orientation is not purely because it's type II. When you rotate the magnet away, it'll indeed "try" to stay in the same orientation due to the flux pinning / quantum locking, but the eddy currents (which are fundamentally different than flux pinning) also does it. It should be mentioned also that this experiment as you conducted it is only possible because it is a type II superconductor. A type I superconductor will stop superconducting at fields of the range of 100 miliTesla at the max, which this magnet far exceeds. And of course also because type I superconductors need to be in the single-digit Kelvin range, which is almost impossible to sustain in a normal environment XD.

    Some trains also use eddy current braking.
    The German ICE-3 series of high speed trains e.g. uses 3 operational braking systems in this order of precedence and depending on the amount of deceleration required:
    1. Regenerative braking where the electric motors work as generators and feed electricity back into the grid.
    2. Linear eddy current braking.
    3. Pneumatic braking - plain old disc (i.e. friction) braking with pneumatic actuators
    Eddy current brakes in principle do not suffer from wear, though, to be honest, there were some issues with clearance (the electromagnet needs to be located very close to the rail) and concerns that induced currents may negatively affect electrical systems on the track, e.g. for signaling.

    Another huge advantage with magnetic braking for roller coasters is that they require no external input to function. If the power fails mid decent for example the breaks will still work perfectly as intended.
